How it works
From your file to verifiable proof
Copyright protects your work from the moment you create it. The hard part in a dispute is proving when it existed. N1X creates independent, cryptographic evidence of that moment in under a minute.
- STEP 1
Fingerprint
Your browser computes a SHA-256 hash of the file. Only this fingerprint is needed — the work itself can stay private on your device.
- STEP 2
Time-lock
Our server records the exact moment in UTC from an NTP-synchronised clock and notes its health. You also see the time in IST.
- STEP 3
Sign
The hash, time and receipt ID are signed with our Ed25519 key. Any change to these fields invalidates the signature.
- STEP 4
Chain
The issuance is appended to a hash-chained audit log. Past entries cannot be altered without breaking the chain.
- STEP 5
Certify
You receive a Certificate of Prior Existence (PDF) with the hash, UTC and IST time, signature and a verification QR code.
- STEP 6
Verify
Anyone — a client, platform, lawyer or court — can verify the receipt online, free, by ID, QR code or by re-hashing the original file.
Who uses timestamping
Writers & screenwriters
Prove a script or manuscript existed before you pitched it to a producer or publisher.
Software developers
Timestamp source code releases and designs before sharing with clients or partners.
Designers & photographers
Record originals before posting on social media or sending to agencies.
Musicians
Fix the date of demos, lyrics and compositions before collaboration.
Startups & researchers
Document ideas, pitch decks and lab notes ahead of investor or peer discussions.
Businesses
Preserve contracts, policies and website content as they stood on a given date.
