TimeWitness Gives Your Timestamp an Error Bar

timewitness.dev Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A timestamp-verification tool that records what a clock read, how far it might be from UTC, and signed evidence from outside time sources.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

Field notes

The receipt format keeps three distinct facts together: a nanosecond-resolution local reading, an explicit bound on its possible UTC error, and signed outside evidence supporting that bound. The sample reports sixteen polling rounds and a nine-of-nine settled result across NTP, NTS, and Roughtime sources, then identifies the artifact with a SHA-256 value and COSE-over-CBOR data. A GitHub Actions example is visible, but its referenced repository is private, limiting what an outside maintainer can run today.
