Easy to use .NET RFC 3161 time-stamp client library and applications based on Bouncy Castle library.
TimeStampClient:
- runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X
- supports Time-Stamp Protocol over HTTP/HTTPS and TCP
- supports SSL authentication (client certificate) and HTTP basic authentication (login and password)
- uses system HTTP proxy settings
- contains GUI application
- contains command line application
- contains reusable .NET library
Release archive TimeStampClient.zip contains command line tool, GUI application and library. Same archive can be used on all supported operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X).
Official NuGet package is published in nuget.org repository.
In most cases you just need the following one line of code to get a time-stamp.
using Disig.TimeStampClient;
...
TimeStampToken token = TimeStampClient.RequestTimeStampToken("http://localhost/tsa", "document.docx");
...
Mono runtime is required to use TimeStampClient applications on Linux (requires mono-complete
package) and Mac OS X.
Getting time-stamp using the command line application on Windows:
> TimeStampClientCmd.exe --tsa http://localhost/tsa --file document.docx --out token.tst
Getting time-stamp using the command line application on Linux and Mac OS X:
$ mono ./TimeStampClientCmd.exe --tsa http://localhost/tsa --file document.docx --out token.tst
On Windows start the TimeStampClient application by double-clicking on TimeStampClientGui.exe
file.
On Linux and Mac OS X start the TimeStampClientGui application by running the following command from command line:
$ mono ./TimeStampClientGui.exe
User needs to specify the URL of a time-stamping authority in the "TSA service URL" field and the path to a file to be time-stamped in the "File to time-stamp" field. After clicking on the "Request time-stamp" button the time-stamp token is saved to the file specified in the "Output file" field.
