The lifespan of a timestamp

Official certification authorities issue timestamps of a 3 to 5 years lifespan. This period could be prolonged according to the specific conditions stated by the authority based on the assessed fee. Mytitle timestamps, authorized via blockchain encryption are valid for life without any extra fee needed. You buy your timestamp once and you get the eternal proof for your document ownership.

Efficiency

The ownership certificate from Mytitle contains all the necessary information. The date and time, and by whom the specific document was certified. Compared to the official timestamping standards this represents a much easier procedure since you do not have to issue or pay for another electronic signature for the certification completion.

Immutability

Mytitle is fundamentally different from certification authorities thanks to the blockchain authorization of the issued timestamps. That means using a fully decentralized system. Official authorities have to confirm their issued timestamps by centralized authorities though long and demanding certification processes. Mytitle and blockchain are completely independent of each other so your timestamp could not be compromised but still could be used by anybody and anywhere for a document ownership verification.

Mytitle is for a government sector as well as for a private business

Certification authorities have limited application territory. For fact, government institutions can reach the verification system only within the European Union countries. On the other hand Mytitle can issue ownership certificates anytime and  anywhere in the world. Also you can choose any moment to verify the information on the certificate. All you need is internet access and the certificate link to view the information on blockchain.

With Mytitle it is possible to get an ownership certification without further obstacles.

The certification tool Mytitle provides protection of any digital documents fast and from anywhere in the world. The whole certification system takes place online so at first it means that it saves the time and travel costs, which eventually would be spent on a journey to the lawyer office.

When and how are digital timestamps useful?

Digitaltimestamps primarily serve to certify an ownership of a digital document for the purposes of legal protection. For now this kind of protection is being used by governmental institutions and by public figures, who are obligated to use timestamps by law. Certification authorities, used by state and public subjects in the Czech republic are the First certification authority (I. CA) and PostSignum by the Czech post office, who are official holders of the certification authority status since 2016. Later on the group was joined by the eIdentity.

Mytitle is unique not just for the certification system efficiency but also for the user journey sophistication. The application is simple, flexible and very fast. It is the Mytitle platform where anybody can find safe space to protect their documents and data before anybody infringes them.
