Timestamp Renewal

Surety customers have the ability to extend the life of their Seals beyond the life of the hash function that was used to create it, while retaining the original sealing date and time.

Widely Witnessed

Our open, Widely-Witnessed process makes it impossible for anyone—including Surety—to backdate timestamps or validate electronic records that were not exact copies of the originals.

We anchor the integrity of your Seal by publishing an integrity value each week in the Public Notices section of the New York Times. Through this Widely Witnessed process, you are guaranteed future verifiability and compelling evidence of document integrity.
