CanonProof

The authenticity authority for digital evidence.

CanonProof is the neutral trust layer for the internet β€” cryptographically certifying files and exposing explainable forensic reasons behind every result.

Neutral Trust Authority

Standards-driven verification, ES256-signed certificates, public JWKS β€” the SSL-like layer for evidence authenticity.

πŸ§ͺ
Explainable Forensics

Indicators for metadata, ELA, DCT/entropy, thumbnails, headers, and AI-likelihood β€” with human-readable reasons you can cite.

πŸ”—
Open Verification

Every certificate has a public verification URL and signed JWS payload for independent validation anywhere.

How CanonProof certifies authenticity

Upload & identify

Image, video, audio, or PDF. CanonProof hashes with SHA-256 and identifies media type.

Extract indicators

EXIF plausibility, thumbnail v. image pHash, ELA residuals, header heuristics, and AI-likelihood signals.

Score & label

Weighted scoring produces one of four labels with an overall confidence.

Sign & publish

Results are ES256-signed (JWS) and issued with a certificate ID and a public verification URL.

Explainable reasons (example)

Human-readable lines that map indicators to the final label β€” built for filings, reports, and audits.

- img.exif.has_make_model: present
- img.thumb_mismatch: false
- img.ela.p95: 0.016 (low residuals)
- ai.likelihood: 0.11 (low)
