Can we help you?
The understanding of how a product works and of its scope is the key to realize its possibilities and what it can do for you. This is what these FAQs are meant for.
For every email you register through eEvidence, we generate an eEvid.Cert delivery receipt that contains the following information:
Finally, we attach a full copy of the original email to the eEvid.Cert PDF (see the Attachment Panel on Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat), and we digitally sign the delivery receipt to grant its integrity.
About the Daily Report
The Daily Report is a complementary report, meant to officially date every delivery receipt issued on a given day. By officially dating the Daily Report, we can prove that each eEvid.Cert, and its contents, already existed on that date.
The Daily Report consists of two columns of data:
The Daily Report is also digitally signed, as every eEvid.Cert is. However, the Daily Report digital signature also includes a digital time-stamp (RFC 3161), issued by an official Time Stamp Authority (TSA, from the Wikipedia). Similar to a Matryoshka doll, the time-stamped Daily Report then becomes the top layer of the electronic evidence, unequivocally proving the date in which the hash of the eEvid.Cert already existed. And if a hash existed on a given date, the file from which it was obtained existed on that date as well.
Bottom line. Do not worry too much about the Daily Report. Keep your eEvid.Certs in a safe place and we'll take care of the rest.
Thank you for asking!
