Time Stamps
Entaksi Solutions SpA provides a Qualified Time Stamping Service, offering certified timestamps that are essential to prove the integrity and creation date of digital documents, as they create digital evidence that a document existed in a specific form at a precise moment in time.
This is particularly important to ensure the legal validity of digital documents, for example in cases of digital signatures, financial transactions, or judicial processes.
The root certificate of the certification authority for Entaksi’s qualified timestamps is available at the following link:

AgID Qualified Preservation
To provide reliable preservation services compliant with multiple regulations, Entaksi Solutions SpA has obtained the qualification as a digital document conservator from the Agency for Digital Italy (AgID) and is listed in the Preservation Services Marketplace.
This listing guarantees compliance with the requirements ensuring the security, integrity, and immutability of electronic documents.
The rules for qualified conservators are defined in the “Regulation on the Criteria for Providing Digital Document Preservation Services” published in December 2021.
Qualified conservators are required to publish a Preservation Manual, prepared according to the criteria outlined in the “Guidelines on the Formation and Management of Electronic Documents“.
In the “Documentation” section, the latest updated version of the Entaksi Preservation Manual and useful references for verifying compliance with current regulations are provided.
Entaksi Solutions SpA has developed an Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) service, a digital authentication method used to ensure the integrity and immutability of a digital document.
According to Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 (eIDAS), in order to guarantee the unique identification of the signatory, an AES must be:
- uniquely linked to the signatory;
- capable of identifying the signatory;
- created using electronic signature creation data that the signatory can, with a high level of confidence, use under their sole control;
- linked to the signed data in such a way that any subsequent changes to the data are detectable.
The solution proposed by Entaksi is based on collecting the signatory’s data and using a one-time password (OTP) token system through channels accessible exclusively to the signatory.
The AES developed by Entaksi has the same probative value as a handwritten signature.
In the “Documentation” section, you can find the information notice for the use of the Advanced Electronic Signature offered by Entaksi through the eSIGN service, which includes the terms of use, information demonstrating the service’s compliance with legal requirements, details of the implemented system and technologies, and instructions on how to submit requests to Entaksi, as required by Article 57 of the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of 22 February 2013.
