A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts

Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Time
Stamp 
                          Protocols (TSP)

A time stamping service allows to prove that a datum existed before
a particular time and can be used as a Trusted Third Party (TTP) as
one component in building reliable non-repudiation services (see
[ISONR]). This document describes the format of a request sent to a
Time Stamping Authority (TSA) and of the response that is returned.
An example on how to prove that a digital signature was generated
during the validity period of the corresponding public key
certificate is given in an annex.
