On January 2, 2020, an important change will be implemented in the SK Time-Stamping Service, which will affect all SK Time-Stamping Service users.

On January 2 at 3.30 PM EET, the SK Time-Stamping Service certificate will be updated. The new Time-Stamping Service certificate is available to download at https://www.skidsolutions.eu (CN=SK TIMESTAMPING AUTHORITY 2020). The new certificate has been added to version 48 of the Trust Service Status List (TL) which was released on December 03, 2019.

Due to this change, users will need to either update the Trust List on their information systems or manually set up their systems to trust the new Time-Stamping Service certificate. We recommend making the necessary changes in your information systems before January 2nd. In systems where the change is not made before 2^nd of January, use of the Time-Stamping Service may be interrupted, including signing documents and validating signatures.

X-tee customers will not have to make any changes in their X-tee security servers in connection to the Time-Stamping Service certificate change. The Information System Authority will add the new certificate to the X-tee central server, which will then be added to the security servers of all members after the automatic global conf update which takes place once every minute. If you have any further questions regarding X-tee, we recommend contacting the Information System Authority.

End-users do not need to update their eID software as by default it is set to automatically check for Trust List updates, which checks whether the Trust Lists available on the computer are up to date every time the software is launched. End-users can get further information and help via the ID-Card helpline +372 666 8888.
