A cryptographic seal on every document, and open verification for anyone who needs to check it.

The situation

Arguments about documents are usually arguments about versions: which copy is the real one, and whether a figure or a clause was changed after the fact.

FINIS seals every document with a cryptographic fingerprint on arrival. Anyone can verify a document against its seal and get a definitive answer — without a FINIS account.

What to do

1. The document is sealed

Automatically, when it enters FINIS.

2. Share it as normal

The seal travels with the document.

3. Verify when challenged

The check returns authentic, or not a match.

The FINIS capabilities involved

Seal

Every FINIS document carries a cryptographic seal — a fingerprint that changes if a single byte does.

Verify

Verification confirms a document against its seal — and tells you plainly whether it matches.

Sign

The recipient reads and signs in the same place — and a decline is recorded just as carefully as a signature.

Questions

Does the other side need FINIS?

No. Verification is open.

What counts as an alteration?

Any change to the document's content breaks the seal.
