Process

Four steps to
permanent truth.

Veritas fits into your existing workflow. Asset documentation that takes minutes to store lasts forever.

01
Step 01

Register Your Asset

Add the asset to Veritas — building, bridge, infrastructure. Public metadata (suburb, type, classification). Private metadata encrypted and access-controlled.

02
Step 02

Upload & Encrypt

Drop any document type — structural reports, ESM certificates, maintenance registers, tenancy schedules, as-built drawings, DA approvals. Veritas encrypts every file with AES-256-GCM and generates a content-addressed fingerprint.

03
Step 03

Attest & Sign

The responsible engineer signs cryptographically. A reviewer counter-signs. The asset owner acknowledges. Multi-party attestation with independently verifiable signatures.

04
Step 04

Anchor to Chain

Every 24 hours, all new attestations are rolled into a Merkle root and anchored immutably. Any future modification is immediately detectable — by anyone, forever.

Under The Hood

Built for permanent verifiability.

Every technical decision prioritises long-term independence — records verifiable without Veritas, forever.

Encryption

AES-256-GCM Encryption

Client-side encryption before upload. Your encryption key never leaves your device unencrypted. Veritas servers store ciphertext only.

Attestation

Ed25519 Signatures

Every attestation is a cryptographic signature using Ed25519 elliptic curve keys. Signatures can be verified by any party with access to the signer's public key — no intermediary required.

Storage

Content-Addressed Storage

Documents are stored in IPFS using their content hash as the address (CID). The same bytes always produce the same CID — tampering produces a different address.

Integrity

Merkle Root Anchoring

Daily batch: all attestation hashes are organised into a binary Merkle tree. The root hash is anchored to an immutable public record. One anchor covers thousands of attestations.

Independence

Independent Verification

A verifier needs only the document, the public keys of signers, and the Merkle proof. Veritas does not need to be running. Records remain verifiable in 50 years.

Audit

Immutable Audit Trail

Every access event, every attestation action, and every permission change is recorded with a timestamp and actor identity. The trail itself is tamper-evident.
