What is ISO/IEC 18014-2 about?
ISO/IEC 18014-2 is the second part of the multi-series European standard that specifies mechanisms that generate, renew, and verify independent time stamps. To verify an independent time-stamp token, time-stamp verifiers do not need access to any other time-stamp tokens. That is, such time-stamp tokens are not linked.
ISO/IEC 180142 helps you in using the private key to digitally sign the time-stamp token helps in verifying the security measures by auditing with the third party.
Who is ISO/IEC 18014-2 for?
ISO/IEC 18014-2 on Information security is useful for:
- Cyber security
- Time stamping authority
- Cyber security experts
- Any entity responsible for providing security solutions
Why should you use ISO/IEC 18014-2?
A timestamp is the current time of the event that a computer record. The timestamp is important to you as it helps in keeping the records of when the information is being created, exchanged or deleted online.
ISO/IEC 18014-2 will help you in protecting the time stamp tokens by a variety of mechanisms that may be chosen by the time-stamp requester and/or imposed by the time-stamping authority. That means it helps in keeping the integrity of data and also authentication protection of data while exchanging the information between the actors.
ISO/IEC 18014-2 helps in using the private key to digitally sign the time-stamp token.
ISO/IEC 18014-2 helps in verifying the security measures by auditing with the third party.
ISO/IEC 18014-2 provides methods and guidelines to secure information while exchanging or creating data on the internet.
Overall, ISO/IEC 18014-2 specifies the mechanisms that protect time stamp tokens by providing timestamp services. These systems provide full privacy and security for all transactions, making them safe and trustworthy.
