A hash is a unique digital fingerprint generated by a cryptographic algorithm on data. By comparing the hash values, it is possible to verify that the electronic signature data and the data message corresponding to the electronic signature have not been tampered with.
The trusted timestamp issued by the Trusted Third-Party Timestamp Service Center (TSA) can prove that the data message has been stored at a point in time, prevent document data tampering and subsequent repudiation, and better ensure the legal effect of the electronic signature.
