Overview

In Truestamp, provenance is the traceable history of a piece of data as a cryptographically linked chain of evidence: from submission, into a block’s Merkle tree, through to commitment on public blockchains, with every step signed and publicly verifiable. It is one of the three pillars of the product framing (timestamp, integrity, provenance) presented on the home page, alongside the sibling terms timestamp and data integrity. Truestamp’s provenance claims are deliberately bounded: a proof shows what was submitted and when (the submission window), never who created the underlying content, because authorship is excluded from every hash. The affirmative guarantees are covered in what Truestamp proves and the boundary in what Truestamp does not prove.
