Yes, the signature is already timestamped..
but the time used to timestamp the app is the local System time.
I want to use the time from some trusted sites which gives proper time instead of using system time

for window we can use this link to timestamp "http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll"
more info regarding this can be found here https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/code-signing-support/index?page=content&id=AR190

 In mac don't we have any facility like  when we are signing the app, instead of taking the system time it should take a time from trusted Timestamping authority.

Hi,

if you check the signature of your signed app, like this:

codesign -d -vvvv /Applications/<Whatever>.app

you'll see that the signature is already time-stamped:

...
Signed Time=18 Mar 2009 11:10:18
...

Cheers,
Graham.
