Provides classes and methods to request, create and validate RFC3161-compliant timestamps. Request may be used to either create requests from scratch or to parse existing requests that again can be used to request timestamps from a timestamp server, e.g. via the net/http. The resulting timestamp response may be parsed using Response.
Please note that Response is read-only and immutable. To create a Response, an instance of Factory as well as a valid Request are needed.
