Security

Security is fundamental to Truestamp's design. We employ industry-leading practices and cryptographic standards to protect your data and ensure the integrity of our timestamping services.

Cryptographic Security

SHA-256 Hashing

All data is hashed using the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm, ensuring data integrity and creating unique digital fingerprints.

Ed25519 Signatures

Digital signatures using Ed25519 elliptic curve cryptography provide authentication and non-repudiation. Our signing public key is published so anyone can independently verify signatures.

Merkle Trees

Merkle tree structures enable efficient verification of large datasets while maintaining cryptographic proofs.

Immutable Records

Blockchain records are permanent and any modification is cryptographically detectable. You can redact your submitted data while the underlying proof records remain intact and verifiable.

Data Protection

  • Zero-Knowledge Architecture: We store only cryptographic hashes and any metadata you choose to provide
  • Encryption in Transit: All communications use TLS 1.3 encryption
  • Secure Authentication: API access via expiring, revocable API keys with secure hashed storage
  • Access Controls: Role-based permissions and team isolation

Infrastructure Security

Application Security

  • Secure coding practices
  • Regular dependency updates
  • Automated security scanning
  • Input validation and sanitization

Operational Security

  • Monitoring and alerting
  • Incident response procedures
  • Backup and recovery systems
  • Environment isolation

Verification & Transparency

Our security model is built on transparency and verifiability:

  • All timestamps can be independently verified using cryptographic proofs
  • Blockchain ledger provides transparent audit trail
  • Open verification tools allow third-party validation
  • Cryptographic evidence can be verified offline

Reporting Security Issues
