The method further comprises at the quantum computing device receiving a randomly generated quantum state from a verifier via a quantum channel wherein the randomly generated quantum state is received at time, t and wherein the method comprises using the timestamping device to combine the randomly generated quantum state with the input token to produce a timestamp proof token associated with the time, t.
