What Verithia Proves

Verithia creates a proof record at the moment a photo is captured, then lets anyone check a shared copy against that record. This page explains, in plain terms, exactly what a Verithia proof does and does not establish.

What a Verithia Proof Establishes

• A trusted capture flow. Verithia is designed to check that a proof starts from an authentic app and device environment.
• A protected capture record. The record includes the capture context needed for later verification and is designed to resist tampering after the fact.
• A specific time and place. The record includes when and where the photo was captured, subject to the limits of the device and environment.
• A checkable record. Verithia keeps enough proof information to let a later verification check whether a submitted image still matches the original record.
• Recoverable after normal sharing. A shared photo can often still be checked after ordinary compression or re-encoding.

What a Verification Result Means

• Verified. The photo is a genuine Verithia capture and its picture still matches the original proof, even after normal sharing.
• Edited after capture. The photo came from a genuine Verithia capture, but the picture itself was changed after it was taken.
• Not verified. Verithia could not confirm the photo as an unchanged, genuine Verithia capture.

What a Proof Does Not Establish

• It is not proof of the wider truth. A verified result speaks to the integrity of the image and its link to a capture record. It does not prove the real-world scene, who took the photo, their intent, or what happened before or after capture.
• Major transformations can break a match. Ordinary sharing is expected, but a resized or heavily transformed copy may fail to verify even though it came from a genuine capture.
• It is not a legal judgment. Verithia is a proof and verification tool. It does not replace legal advice, insurance adjudication, law enforcement investigation, or professional inspection, and a result is not guaranteed to be accepted by any court, insurer, or other party.
