Electronic seal and timestamp
LVRTC offers solutions for ensuring the origin, creation time, and integrity of documents and data.
eZīmogs (electronic seal)
The organization's eZīmogs (electronic seal) attached to the document confirms the immutability of the content of this document and the belonging to the organization (origin), as well as shows the exact time of eZīmogs (electronic seal) creation.
The signing platform (SignAPI) supports integration of eZīmogs (electronic seal) functionality into the client's system.
Types of eZīmogs (electronic seal)
- eZīmogs (electronic seal) certificate in file - intended for deployment in the device. This type of eZīmogs (electronic seal) ensures the level of an advanced electronic seal for the document created with it.
- eZīmogs+ (electronic seal) in smart card (QSCD). This type of electronic seal provides a qualified electronic seal level for the document created with it. Document signing with electronic seal in smart card can be done both in the eParakstītājs 3.0 software and by integrating the sealing functionality into the information system using the capabilities of the Signing platform.
- eZīmogs+ cloud – intended for integration into the client’s information system. This type of eZīmogs (electronic seal) ensures the level of a qualified electronic seal for the document created with it. The qualified electronic seal creation device (QSCD) is deployed in the LVRTC infrastructure, while user authentication is performed using an eID card or eParaksts mobile.
Both eZīmogs in file and the eZīmogs in the smart card contain a qualified electronic seal certificate.
More information about the possibilities and application of eZīmogs (electronic seal) can be found at www.eparaksts.lv.
Timestamp (TSA)
The timestamp is added by default to all documents created using LVRTC tools (eParaksts mobile, eID card, eParaksts card, eZīmogs).
A timestamp can also be used as an additional independent guarantee for recording the origin time of the document and data
The timestamp issued by LVRTC:
- is included in the EU Trusted List ( QTimestamp);
- corresponds to the status of a qualified time stamp;
- links the date and time to the data in a way that reasonably prevents any unnoticed changes to the data;
- is based on a precise time source that is connected to Coordinated Universal Time;
- TSA service provides high performance and availability SLA (service level agreement).
The LVRTC-issued timestamp can be added to various system events, such as transaction details, system records, and electronically signed documents created using both LVRTC and other QTSPs tools. More information about the timestamp can be found at www.eparaksts.lv.
