In essence, a document signer wants to strengthen the assertion that a certain document existed at a certain date. To achieve this goal, the PDF signer acquires a TST from a TSA, includes it in the to-be-signed PDF that becomes the COSE payload and then signs it. -Using only its local clock instead, a PDF signer would be able to tamper with its clock and thereby falsify the recentness of the signing procedure. +Using only its local clock instead, a document signer would be able to tamper with its clock and thereby falsify the recentness of the signing procedure.
