Lawyer, judge, insurer, opposing party or simply a third party: anyone who has a Scealia certificate can check its authenticity. No account or authorization is needed.
Drop the certificate (PDF) or the technical proof file (.asice): they contain the original file, unless it was too large to be attached; in that case, drop it as well. The computation happens in your browser: your files never leave your device. Only the public identifier of the transaction is sent, to read the blockchain.
Do you only have the file, and the fingerprint shown on a certificate or a link? Drop the file: the page will let you paste the fingerprint to compare them.
preuve.json.Without Scealia: sha256sum for both fingerprints (this page shows them too), then a block explorer such as polygonscan.com for the transaction.
The former format, that of technical proof files containing metadata.json and of their certificates, was only used during testing: Scealia no longer supports it.
Scealia anchoring address: 0xd7FB2F693Fb01A969c62B014bB23B5be085624eC on Polygon.
Whatever the method (QR code, technical proof file or number), verification rests on a single idea: comparing two fingerprints of the same content, taken at two different moments.
Its fingerprint is recomputed at the moment of verification, from the file presented to you.
a3f9 2c81 07d4 …It carries the fingerprint sealed at the moment of capture, on the blockchain and under seal: no one can change it anymore, not even Scealia.
a3f9 2c81 07d4 …The two fingerprints are placed side by side. They can only be one of two things: identical, or completely unrelated.
Each method has a simulation button that runs through a successful verification, all the way to the certificate and its content. The full service will open very soon, when the public testing phase of the app launches.
Every Scealia certificate carries a QR code. Scan it with your phone: you land directly on this page, the certificate is authenticated and its content is displayed. The QR code encodes a unique verification token that cannot be guessed.
Drop the technical proof file you received: it brings together the content, its capture details and its seal in a single file. Everything is read locally in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
If you cannot scan the QR code, enter the number and the verification code, both shown on the certificate. The secret code prevents any random searching.
Verifying without Scealia. Every certificate remains verifiable independently of our services: the folder’s fingerprint is recorded on the public Polygon blockchain (viewable through any public explorer; the transaction reference appears on the certificate) and the qualified electronic seal can be checked in any compliant signature validator, as the provider is listed on the European Union trusted list. Detailed instructions are on the last page of every certificate. See a sample certificate.
Verification rests entirely on the digital fingerprint. See it at work on your own files:
