Is my data secure?

Yes, ScoreDetect employs advanced encryption and blockchain technology to ensure the security and integrity of your data.

Your digital content is securely hashed on your device and is not saved anywhere else.

Only the checksum of the digital content is saved, and placed into the blockchain.

We use the ScoreDetect API to create a certificate.

Our API is using an https-only connection, so it is secure and encrypted. You can confirm this by using the http:// in your request and it will not work.

On our ScoreDetect Web Dashboard, uploading a file will locally run a client-side (on your browser only, never sent anywhere) SHA-256 hashing algorithm. This can be confirmed by opening the browser's developer tools prior to uploading the file into the Web Dashboard. The hash (file fingerprint) is calculated within the browser. Then it gets sent to the API. We recommend this approach for unlimited file size, speed, and security.

However, our ScoreDetect API also supports sending the file directly to the API. This is a legacy feature that we intend to phase out soon. In the ScoreDetect API, the data is immediately digested into a SHA-256 hash within a Cloudflare worker. Only the digested hash is sent to the blockchain. It uses the ethers.utils.sha256 method which is the same technology as modern web browsers.

If you are in doubt, you can independently use a sha256 tool to obtain the digest. Here is an example using the OpenSSL command:

echo -n "foobar" | openssl dgst -sha256

We do not keep backups of your File / Text - it is up to you to make sure that the File / Text will be available in the future if its existence needs to be proven. This way, it ensures maximum protection for your digital asset.
