TimeStampProviderDescription
POSTARCA A timestamping authority managed by the Post Office of Slovenia. See http://postarca.posta.si. This service requires authentication with a client certificate. Use the certName parameter to specify the certificate.
POSTACA_TESTThe test timestamping authority managed by the Post Office of Slovenia. This service requires authentication with a client certificate. Use the certName parameter to specify the certificate.
SIGEN The SI-TSA timestamping authority. See http://www.si-tsa.gov.si/eng/index.htm. This service requires authentication with a client certificate. Use the certName parameter to specify the certificate.
SIGEN_TESTThe test version of the SI-TSA timestamping authority. This service requires authentication with a client certificate. Use the certName parameter to specify the certificate.
TIMESTAMP_TEST A built-in timestamping provider that can be used for testing purposes. It does not require the access to an external timestamping authority - the timestamp is created on a local computer. Use the certName parameter to specify the certificate which is used to create the timestamp.

This method can not be called from an untrusted code.
