How Veriflo Works

Military-grade document protection made simple. Understand the technology that makes leak detection and authenticity verification possible.

From Upload to Attribution in 3 Simple Steps

What happens behind the scenes when you protect a document

1

Upload & Process

Upload any document type (PDF, images, videos, audio) to Veriflo. We immediately create a unique cryptographic fingerprint and register it on multiple blockchains.

SHA-256 Hash: Unique identifier generated instantly
Multi-Chain Registration: Ethereum, Polygon, and Arweave
Immutable Timestamp: Proof of creation time and authorship

Processing time: Under 30 seconds for most documents

2

Fingerprint & Protect

We apply 5 invisible layers of forensic fingerprints to each recipient's copy. These markers are unremovable and survive any manipulation.

Layer 1: Optional Visible Watermark
Layer 2: Metadata Embedding
Layer 3: Steganographic Encoding
Layer 4: Structural Markers
Layer 5: Blockchain Registry

Each copy is unique and traceable, even after screenshots or edits

3

Monitor & Detect

Our AI continuously scans 500+ platforms for leaked documents. When found, we extract the fingerprints and identify the source with 98.5% accuracy.

Automated Scanning: Reddit, Twitter, forums, file-sharing sites
Fingerprint Extraction: AI identifies embedded markers
Source Attribution: Match fingerprint to specific recipient
Legal Evidence: Compile court-ready documentation

Average detection time: 4 hours from leak to identification

The 5-Layer Fingerprinting System

Why our fingerprints are impossible to remove

1

Visible Watermark

Optional semi-transparent text overlay that deters casual sharing. Can include recipient name, date, or custom message.

Survivability: Low (can be cropped)

Purpose: Psychological deterrent

2

Metadata Embedding

Recipient ID encrypted and stored in file metadata (EXIF, XMP, PDF info). Hidden from normal view but readable by forensic tools.

Survivability: Medium (metadata stripping)

Purpose: Quick identification

3

Steganography

Invisible data embedded in image pixels using Least Significant Bit (LSB) encoding. Imperceptible to human eye, survives compression.

Survivability: High (survives screenshots)

Purpose: Core attribution

4

Structural Markers

Unique patterns in whitespace, font kerning, invisible characters, and paragraph spacing. Survives printing and rescanning.

Survivability: Very High (analog attacks)

Purpose: Physical document tracking

5

Blockchain Registry

Encrypted hash of recipient ID registered on-chain. Immutable proof linking document to specific person with timestamp.

Survivability: Perfect (immutable)

Purpose: Legal evidence

Why This Works

Redundancy is key. Even if 2-3 layers are removed, the remaining layers still identify the leaker with high confidence.

Screenshot attack: Layers 3, 4, 5 survive
Print + scan: Layers 4, 5 survive
Metadata strip: Layers 3, 4, 5 survive
Heavy editing: Layers 4, 5 survive

Blockchain-Powered Authenticity

Every document gets registered on multiple blockchains, creating permanent, tamper-proof evidence that holds up in court.

Immutable Timestamps

Once registered, the document's hash and timestamp cannot be altered or backdated. Proof of existence at a specific moment in time.

Multi-Chain Redundancy

Registered on Ethereum (security), Polygon (speed), and Arweave (permanent storage) for maximum reliability.

Court-Admissible Evidence

Blockchain evidence is increasingly accepted in courts worldwide. We provide formatted certificates ready for legal submission.

Instant Verification

Anyone can verify a document's authenticity in under 1 second by scanning a QR code or entering the document hash.

Real-World Attack Scenarios

How Veriflo protects against common leak attempts

Screenshot Attack

Attack: Recipient takes a screenshot to remove watermarks and metadata.

Veriflo Response: Steganographic Layer 3 embeds data in the actual pixels. Screenshots preserve these invisible markers. Structural Layer 4 patterns remain intact. Attribution confidence: 98%+

Result: Leaker still identified despite screenshot

Print & Rescan

Attack: Print document, then scan/photograph it to remove digital markers.

Veriflo Response: Structural Layer 4 uses whitespace patterns, font kerning, and micro-spacing that survive printing. Blockchain Layer 5 provides immutable registry. Attribution confidence: 95%+

Result: Physical document still traceable

Heavy Editing

Attack: Crop, resize, color-adjust, compress, or otherwise modify the document.

Veriflo Response: Steganographic encoding includes error-correction algorithms. Multiple redundant markers placed throughout document. Even with 40% of markers destroyed, remaining markers still identify source. Attribution confidence: 92%+

Result: Editing doesn't prevent attribution

Metadata Stripping

Attack: Use tools like ExifTool to remove all file metadata before sharing.

Veriflo Response: Layer 2 metadata is just one of five layers. Layers 3, 4, and 5 completely independent of metadata. Detection continues with remaining layers. Attribution confidence: 96%+

Result: Metadata removal has minimal impact

The Bottom Line

Our multi-layer approach means that even sophisticated attackers using multiple techniques cannot remove enough markers to prevent attribution. The redundancy ensures that leakers are always identified.
