There are many scenarios in which users must be able to prove the
existence of data at a specific point in time and be able to
demonstrate the integrity of data since that time, even when the
duration from time of existence to time of demonstration spans a
large period of time.  Additionally, users must be able to verify
signatures on digitally signed data many years after the generation
of the signature.  This document describes a class of long-term
archive services to support such scenarios and the technical
requirements for interacting with such services.  This memo provides 
information for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the Long-Term Archive and Notary Services
Working Group of the IETF.
