In computing timestamping refers to the use of an electronic timestamp to provide a temporal order among a set of events.

Timestamping techniques are used in a variety of computing fields, from network management and computer security to concurrency control.[1][2] For instance, a heartbeat network uses timestamping to monitor the nodes on a high availability computer cluster.[3]
