How do I prove a document has not been changed?
Take a cryptographic fingerprint (SHA-256 hash) of the document and timestamp it somewhere nobody can edit, such as Bitcoin. Later, anyone can hash the document again: if the fingerprint matches the timestamped one, the document is byte-for-byte the same as it was at that time. Change one character and the fingerprint changes completely.
How it works
- Drop the file on sebbi.pro/bitcoin. It is hashed in your browser and never uploaded.
- The fingerprint is sealed and timestamped in Bitcoin, free.
- Keep the receipt code with the document.
- To prove it later, anyone re-hashes the file and checks it at sebbi.pro/forever.
