Abstract
A secure digital timestamp can assert the existence of a particular document at a specific point in time. While centralized timestamp servers show dependability drawbacks with respect to node or link failures, e.g., outages of the Internet connectivity, distributed timestamping protocols don´t have these drawbacks, but are nowadays rarely seen in practice because of the distributed trust requirements and applicability issues.
