Time Stamping
You want to prove that an electronic document is in your possession at a certain date. La Poste affixes a certified and signed time countermark (rfc3161 timestamp) to your document, thereby creating a Digital Postmark.
La Poste can also:
- Verify a Digital Postmark.
- Safeguard and provide evidence of time stamping
Examples of use:
- Acknowledge receipt of a document – verify such acknowledgements,
- Certify that a document existed at a certain date (quote, invoice, electronic file, etc.) ,
- Officially date the work of an author or artist (text, image, music, etc.) or inventions, to enforce a right of precedence.

Electronic Signature Validation
You wish to verify the signature on a document you have received from a third party, but do not have the required verification tools.
La Poste can verify for you the document’s digital signature and the validity of the certificate provided by the authorities it recognizes. It can also append a certified time countermark to the outcome of such verifications.
Examples of use:
- verify that a received electronic document is official,
- authenticate a signature,
- verify that a certificate has been created by a recognized authority, that it is not blacklisted, and that its validity has not expired,
- extend the cryptographic life span of a signature.
La Poste releases you from the computing and operational tasks required to validate a signature.

document

- distinguish and trace a document category by a postmark (e-mail premium).
The signature of La Poste is proof of data integrity and frees you from having to run cryptographic software.

- to ascertain whether a document has already been verified.
