Timestamps: Main Issues on Their Use and Implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses some of the issues that appear on the creation and use of secure digital timestamps. From the timestamp creation side, it first introduces a review on the existing systems, giving a recommendation for the one we believe is more suitable for the general use. Afterwards, it deals with an extension of the basic scheme in order to be used in the enterprise environments. Finally, it discusses the general scalability problem, analyzing an existing system and proposing a more adequate solution. From the timestamp use side, it discusses one of the possible misuses and it proposes a solution to secure it. Key-words: secure digital timestamping, trust, scalability, trusted third party.

Timestamps for Network Authentication Protocols Revisited
In network security protocols, the freshness and uniqueness of a particular protocol-run provide a strong defense against replay attacks. These two properties are incorporated into a protocol interaction by the use of time-variant parameters such as nonces, random numbers, sequence numbers and timestamps. Many of the network authentication protocols can be classi ed into two main streams by the...
متن کاملOn Enhanced Clock Synchronization Performance through Dedicated Ethernet Hardware Support
The evolvement of Ethernet in factory automation and test & measurement applications generated the need for high-accuracy clock synchronization. While factory communication can normally fulfil application requirements based on an average accuracy in the range of microseconds, test & measurement and several other applications (e. g. wireless position determination) seek for ultimate performance,...
متن کاملTimestamping After Commit
Many applications need transaction-consistent pictures of past states of the database. These applications use the commit t ime of the transaction i o timestamp the data. When a transaction is distributed, the cohorts must vote on a commit t ime and the coordinator must choose a commit t ime based on the votes of the cohorts. This implies that timestamps are applied after commit. Until the times...
متن کاملRequirements and challenges of imposing taxes from increasing the value and compensation of damages resulting from the implementation of urban development plans in Tehran
Introduction: The implementation of urban land-use plans has a two-way relationship with private property and property rights. While land-use planning is inextricably linked to private ownership, in practice, planners do not take the slightest responsibility for this in their plans. The study shows that this issue is one of the main reasons for the failure to provide public services and land-us...
متن کاملThe Politico-Economic Challenges of Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme Implementation
Background National/social health insurance schemes have increasingly been seen in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) as a vehicle to universal health coverage (UHC) and a viable alternative funding mechanism for the health sector. Several countries, including Ghana, have thus introduced and implemented mandatory national health insurance schemes (NHIS) as part of reform efforts towa...
