Proofmode is a system that enables authentication and verification of multimedia content, particularly captured on a smartphone, from point of capture at the source to viewing by a recipient. It utilizes enhanced sensor-driven metadata, hardware fingerprinting, cryptographic signing, and third-party notaries to enable a pseudonymous, decentralized approach to the need for chain-of-custody and “proof” by both activists and everyday people alike. ProofMode is currently available as specifications, developer libraries and applications. We seek to expand its support for notarization and sharing of proof through decentralized storage technology. We believe in a future, where every camera will have a “Proof Mode” that can be enabled and every viewer an ability to trust what they are seeing. ProofMode supports the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authentication (C2PA) standard, Content Credentials and the Content Authenticity Initiative.

TAS — True Authentic Self — lets you prove your content is real. Sign your videos with a TAS signature: a cryptographic QR code embedded at the moment of capture that locks in your identity, location, and timestamp. Share your content anywhere. Anyone can scan the signature to instantly verify it's genuine and unaltered. In an era of AI-generated media, TAS gives creators a way to stand behind their work — and gives audiences a way to trust what they see. SIGN Record or import video and apply a TAS signature before you share. Your signature travels with the content, wherever it goes. VERIFY Scan any TAS-signed content with your camera to see who created it, when, and where — straight from the source. CUSTOMIZE Personalize your signature's appearance with custom colors and opacity to match your brand.
