3161</a>. The mechanism is simple. Create a hash of the file in
question, send it to a trusted third party which add a time stamp to
the hash and sign the result with its private key, and send back the
-signed hash + timestamp. Anyone with the document and the signature
-can then verify that the document matches the signature by creating
-their own hash and checking the signature using the trusted third
-party public key. There are several commercial services around
-providing such timestamping. A quick search for
+signed hash + timestamp. Both email, FTP and HTTP can be used to
+request such signature, depending on what is provided by the service
+used. Anyone with the document and the signature can then verify that
+the document matches the signature by creating their own hash and
