Cryptographic Foundations

VeriSeal relies on established cryptographic primitives:

  • hashing (e.g., SHA-256),
  • asymmetric signatures for attestations,
  • optional timestamp anchoring (e.g., blockchain/OpenTimestamps).

The goal is not novelty. The goal is determinism.

A proof must be:

  • reproducible,
  • verifiable by third parties,
  • stable over time.

Cryptography provides mathematical integrity, not semantic truth.
