RFC3161 has very poor security, as it blindly trusts certificate authorities.
You really need better auditing than that, which is why the certificate authority infrastructure now relies on a blockchain - Certificate Transparency - for auditing. Similarly, for timestamping specifically, Guardtime has used a blockchain for auditing their timestamps since well before blockchains got called blockchains.
