Dear all,
is there a reason, why "openssl ts -verify" does not provide an "-attime" 
option, comparable to "openssl verify"? I have a timestamp response which was 
made in 2009 using a certificate which is now expired. Currently it is 
impossible to verify this timestamp using the command line tool, because 
verification fails with a "certificate expired" error. The error is thrown 
before any checks to the timestamped object (file or digest) are made. 
Detecting manipulations is therefore not possible. An -attime option should 
provide means to perform the certificate check at a chosen point in time when 
the certificate was still valid.

I'd suggest a patch, which introduces an -attime option (see 
https://github.com/fbroda/openssl/tree/fbroda_ts_date). I'm willing to make a 
pull request if there are no objections.

Kind regards,

Frank Broda
