How it works
Four steps from file to evidence
Step 1
Fingerprint
Your file is reduced to a SHA-256 hash — a unique fingerprint that changes if a single byte changes.
Step 2
Timestamp
We record the hash with a time reading checked against an independent reference clock.
Step 3
Sign
The record is signed with our Ed25519 key and chained into a tamper-evident audit log.
Step 4
Verify
Anyone can check the receipt ID, signature and file match on our public verification page.
International law · Berne Convention, Article 5(2)
Copyright is automatic. Proving the date is up to you.
"The enjoyment and the exercise of these rights shall not be subject to any formality."— Berne Convention, Article 5(2)
The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works protects your work automatically in all 181 member countries, including India, the moment it is created. No registration, application or fee is needed for the right to exist.
But because there is no mandatory register, there is also no official record of when you created it. In any dispute, the question becomes: who can prove they had the work first? That is exactly what an N1X timestamp answers.
181 countries
Berne member states recognise your copyright without formalities, so one date-of-creation record supports you worldwide.
Indian Copyright Act, 1957
Copyright arises on creation. Section 45 registration is optional — a timestamp gives you dated proof without waiting months.
Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023
Sections 61–63 accept electronic records as evidence. A signed hash with a certificate is built for this purpose.
IT Act, 2000
Recognises electronic records and digital signatures, underpinning the integrity of cryptographically signed receipts.
Why timestamping matters
The person who can prove the date usually wins
Copyright disputes rarely turn on who is more creative — they turn on evidence. A trusted, unalterable record of the exact file and the exact moment turns "my word against theirs" into a fact anyone can check.
Settles priority disputes
If someone copies your design, code or song, your earlier timestamp shows you held the identical work first.
Proves the exact content
The SHA-256 fingerprint changes if even one byte changes, so the certificate proves this precise version — not a lookalike.
Protects before you share
Timestamp pitches, manuscripts and demos before sending to clients, publishers, investors or platforms.
Supports takedowns
Dated proof strengthens DMCA, YouTube, marketplace and social-media infringement claims.
Keeps your work secret
Only the fingerprint is recorded. Trade secrets and unreleased work stay private while still being evidenced.
Builds a creation history
Timestamp every draft to show how the work developed over time — powerful evidence of genuine authorship.
Who it's for
Built for anyone whose work is their value
Designers & artists
Record drafts, sketches and final artwork before sharing them with clients or online.
Software developers
Timestamp source releases, algorithms and proprietary code without disclosing it.
Writers & researchers
Evidence manuscripts, theses and research data ahead of submission or peer review.
Musicians & producers
Lock in demos, stems and lyrics at the moment they are created.
Photographers & filmmakers
Establish when original captures and edits existed, file by file.
Businesses & agencies
Keep a verifiable record of pitches, specifications and deliverables.
The receipt
Everything an examiner needs, on one page

Your copyright, on the record
Copyright in India arises the moment you create a work. An N1X certificate fixes that moment with a signed, independently verifiable record — strong electronic evidence of prior creation and authorship.
