Would like to know if anybody knows any free(trial) time-stamp server service. I would like to test time stamping features in itext. Like I used Start Com class 1 as free CA for testing purposes. Hope I made it clear. Hoping someone knows a place Thanks

You can try one of these publicly accessible RFC 3161 compliant time-stamping services:

  1. https://freetsa.org
    Supports HTTP, HTTPS and TCP transports and has other features
  2. http://time.certum.pl
  3. http://dse200.ncipher.com/TSS/HttpTspServer
  4. http://tsa.safecreative.org 5 free requests per day (may not be valid as root CA is 'test') - Safe Creative TSA is no longer active
  5. http://zeitstempel.dfn.de
  6. http://tsa.tecxoft.com
    Requires registration
  7. http://timestamp.comodoca.com/rfc3161
  8. http://sha256timestamp.ws.symantec.com/sha256/timestamp
  9. https://timestamp.geotrust.com/tsa
  10. http://timestamp.globalsign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll
  11. https://ca.signfiles.com/tsa/get.aspx
  12. http://services.globaltrustfinder.com/adss/tsa
  13. https://tsp.iaik.tugraz.at/tsp/TspRequest

You can also try one of these publicly accessible RFC 3161 compliant client applications:

  1. TimeStampClient

    thanks jariq. #2 did the job, time stamp is embedded but could not be verified, but that was expected. thanks again !!! – caniaskyouaquestion Aug 01 '14 at 07:51

    I added one from symantec, not sure how that verification on timestamp works, but this one is verified, maybe because I own a symantec code signing certificate?

  • if you really do mean "Feel free to edit the answer and extend the list." then you should convert this answer into a community wiki. otherwise it's time consuming for us reviewers to to vet the suggested edit. – Jeff Puckett May 19 '16 at 18:04

    @JeffPuckettII Thanks for the suggestion - I have converted answer to community wiki. I didn't know such option existed :) – jariq May 21 '16 at 06:51
  • Adding to this list, as the question is already closed: http://truetimestamp.org/ – Michael Jun 10 '16 at 10:51
  • @Michael but truetimestamp.org seems not to be RFC 3161 compliant cryptographic service. It seems to be only online database of the hash values. – jariq Jun 10 '16 at 11:38
  • The timestamp provider http://tsa.safecreative.org uses certificates to sign the timestamps which uses a test CA as issuer. And that is not good at all. – Titus T Dec 12 '16 at 16:09
  • I think we need to review the RFC, as I am really not confident with some of these alternate timestamp servers. After switching to a different one last build, I had, for the first time ever, an unsigned file get out. Now, that was probably my scripting, but I'm still looking into it. Does anyone know of a question already asks that clarifies this matter? I mean, are *any* good? And, if so, why not just create my own? So, I suspect there *are* limitations (OS support maybe), but I don't know. – dyasta May 15 '17 at 20:03
  • Note that zeitstempel.dfn.de [does not permit commercial use](https://www.pki.dfn.de/zeitstempeldienst/). – Frerich Raabe Feb 12 '18 at 07:59
  • Hi Guys, I am planning to use http://timestamp.globalsign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll for digital sign pdf on enterprise financial services. Is there any risk of data leakage? – Chowdappa Apr 19 '18 at 07:05
  • A secret one used by google https://play.googleapis.com/play/log/timestamp – Kennedy Nyaga Dec 05 '18 at 23:23
  • Symantec timestamping services are being shut down on October 31st, 2019 (so don't re-add their URLs!) – mrm Oct 16 '19 at 18:53
  • Another one to add that worked for me: http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticod – SaiyanGirl Jan 29 '21 at 20:57
  • from Europa DSS you have a list of free TSP for testing purpose http://dss.nowina.lu/pki-factory/tsa/list For example this one http://dss.nowina.lu/pki-factory/tsa/good-tsa – David KELLER May 04 '22 at 13:59
