If you mean an actual timestamp, see my previous reply about clock accuracy.

If you mean an encrypted relative time, well, that's what it is.  The
encryption is incredibly ad hoc, and requires that the key only be used
once, but the whole thing started by thinking of it as a super-janky
encryption scheme.  See
