Timestamp Validation (Optional)

Objective:

Make Validatesure the timestamps associated with digital signatures to ensure their reliabilitydate and time synchronization.attached to a digital signature are accurate and can be trusted.

Guidelines:

• Use a trusted Time Stamping Authority (TSA) to provideattach accurate andaccurate, synchronized timestamps forto digital signatures.
• The use ofUsing a centralized timestamp is mandatory.mandatory. RISA-GovCA provides athe centralized TSA system.
  

By following these guidelines, developers can ensure that their PKI service integration meets the required standards for security and reliability. Implementing these practices should be a fundamental part of the development process to ensure compliance with industry standards. Before deploying the PKI services, developers must contact RISA at pki@risa.gov.rw . RISA will then perform the PKI service integration assessment.
