OpenSSL::Timestamp::TokenInfo#ordering

() -> bool?

token_info.ordering → true, falses or nil

static VALUE
ossl_ts_token_info_get_ordering(VALUE self)
{
    TS_TST_INFO *info;

    GetTSTokenInfo(self, info);
    return TS_TST_INFO_get_ordering(info) ? Qtrue : Qfalse;
}

If the ordering field is missing, or if the ordering field is present and set to false, then the genTime field only indicates the time at which the time-stamp token has been created by the TSA. In such a case, the ordering of time-stamp tokens issued by the same TSA or different TSAs is only possible when the difference between the genTime of the first time-stamp token and the genTime of the second time-stamp token is greater than the sum of the accuracies of the genTime for each time-stamp token.

If the ordering field is present and set to true, every time-stamp token from the same TSA can always be ordered based on the genTime field, regardless of the genTime accuracy.
