Requirements for time-stamping of records

All on-line archives are time-stamped using an NTP-synchronised host clock. The archives collected on the CA signing system are time-stamped using a clock that is periodically synchronised against external wall clocks. Off-line archives are time-stamped using un-synchronised time sources, periodically verified against an absolute time source.
