Blockchain technology provides us with new tools for verification and storing of data. Blockchains have been battle tested for years now, as a database for coin transfers. We can submit any data to blockchains, not only coin transfers. At Proofivy we use this technology to create an authentication layer for digital data.
We provide software to media, research and other companies.

  • Software to calculate digital signatures or hashes of data locally
  • A service to submit digital signatures or hashes to the blockchain
  • Tooling to verify if data matches a digital signature or hash

Features

  • Timestamped proof of existence of digital data validated date and time when submitting to Proofivy
  • Immutable digital signature digital signatures on the blockchain cannot be altered or deleted
  • Unique identities users can commit to Proofivy using unique identities for improved IP protection
  • Trustless and decentral verification system anyone can verify digital signatures without the need to trust an intermediary

Use case example: Lab for Germinal Center Biology, Utrecht University
