ICP-Brasil Time Stamp
Guarantee of temporality for any event that occurs in the digital world
What is it?
The Time Stamp is the Brazilian legal time (HLB) applied to a certain event that occurred in the digital world.
Example: An electronic contract was digitally signed on 10/10/2024 at 10:00 am by José da Silva. Then, a time stamp was generated associating the electronic contract and its digital signatures with HLB, which at that time was 10/10/2024 at 10:01:37 am.
the date and time, when obtained from the computer, can be easily tampered with or generated with some inconsistency. Thus, HLB is used to eliminate this temporal doubt. There is no doubt in the example above that the contract was digitally signed by José da Silva and that it occurred before 10:01:37 am on 10/10/2024.
Where does HLB come from?
The Brazilian Legal Time by law is the responsibility of the ON - National Observatory. ICP- Brasil, through its infrastructure, provides the time stamp that contains the HLB.
