About the Common Assessment Method for Standards and Specifications (CAMSS) 

CAMSS is the European guide for assessing and selecting standards and specifications for an eGovernment project, a reference when building an architecture and an enabler for justifying the choice of standards and specifications in terms of interoperability needs and requirements. It is fully aligned with the European Standardisation Regulation 1025/2012. 

CAMSS Assessment 

CAMSS Assessment is a solution which corresponds to the output of an assessment of a standard, technical specification or standard developing/setting organisation using the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario. Each assessment produced is considered a CAMSS Assessment once it is approved by the CAMSS Team. Any approved assessment is published by the CAMSS Team and publicly available in Joinup. 

Time-Stamp Protocol (TSP) 1.0.0

Assessment of Time-Stamp Protocol (TSP) 1.0.0 with the Common assessment method for standards and technical specifications (CAMSS). 

The IETF 3161 Time-Stamp Protocol (also known as TSP) is a cryptographic protocol for certifying timestamps using X.509 certificates and public key infrastructure. The timestamp is the signer's assertion that a piece of electronic data existed at or before a particular time. Moreover, one of the major uses of time-stamping is to time-stamp a digital signature to prove that the digital signature was created before a given time.  

The specification has been developed and maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

The assessment has been performed with the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario v6.0.0.
