What is a TSR file?

Time Stamp Response File
Timestamping helps verify the authenticity and integrity of documents or messages. A third-party, a time stamp authority (TSA), generates a .tsr file in response to a request. The .tsr file contains the time stamp, TSA's certificate and other relevant info about the request.
Proof of existence, validation of electronic signatures and protection against fraud - these are key benefits of time stamping. It's also used to prove that a document was created at certain point or remains valid over time.
A trusted and reliable TSA must issue the timestamp for security reasons. The .tsr file is used to authenticate the timestamp as well as to decrypt its content should it be needed. So timestamps help ensure that your data remains secure and certified across devices over an extended period of time.
