Transient Key

Did you know that many businesses these days have problems with people tampering with records and inserting fake timestamps? I really didn't know how big of a problem this was until I read about it recently. It sounds like the problem has become quite the issue, and is only becoming bigger. It's come to the point where companies are actually being told by the courts that they can't submit their own records in case they have have tampered with their own information in an effort to make themselves look good. Since this is a problem on the rise, it's only natural that someone would come up with an idea to help solve it and that's exactly what happened. Transient Key Cryptography is a new approach to this problem, from the company ProofSpace. It helps authenticate date and timestamping to better help companies prove that they haven't messed with their records. It's really quite the new technology, and really sparked my interest. If you'd like to learn more about this technology and more about how it works you can check out their site. Take a look and see what you think.
