We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Open Timestamp Response (.Tsr) Files

  • Updated:

Records are timestamped using industry-standard RFC 3161. The timestamping process creates a Timestamp Response file (.tsr) which is marched to a corresponding record source text file (.txt). By using the public keys (cacert.pem and tsacert.pem) included in the export folder, you can independently verify each record.

 

We recommend using OpenSSL which is available across Windows, OSX, and Linux, and is often preinstalled. Timestamp verification is available in OpenSSL versions 0.9.9 and greater.

 

Verification can be performed using the OpenSSL command below from a command line prompt. Simply replace RECORD_TO_VERIFY with the ID of the record you are attempting to verify, and make sure cacert.pem and tascert.pem are pointing to the keys included in the export folder.

 

The correct response is Verification: OK when the record passes the verification test.

 

Questions about this process can be directed to support.
