Trusted Timestamping

A timestamp is a proof of existence of a document at a certain time relying on the cryptographic security of the consensus mechanism and the hash function. Applications may involve a digital signature verification, a defensive publication. Blockchain is a tamperproof transaction log of a distributed ledger database. After a rolling checkpoint a timestamp cannot be changed. Blacknet is a decentralized network that maintains a public blockchain. Trusted timestamping will be implemented in version 0.3 on the proof of stake blockchain.
