Legal Validity of Notarizations
Understand how TaleStamp's decentralized priority proof system holds legal value for creators and innovators.
Pillar B: Creative Identity & Anteriority
TaleStamp's Pillar B allows you to notarize your creations or ideas prior to any public disclosure or social network exposure. By creating an immutable, timestamped cryptographic proof on the IOTA blockchain, you secure a reliable proof of anteriority.
How it Works (Privacy & Integrity)
Our system relies on two mathematical constants to ensure absolute confidentiality and integrity:
1 Client-Side Hashing
The SHA-256 fingerprint of your file is calculated directly in your browser. Your actual file never leaves your computer (unless you opt for a premium backup). Your secrets remain entirely private.
2 IOTA Blockchain Anchoring
The cryptographic hash is permanently anchored in a Smart Contract on the IOTA ledger. This entry cannot be modified, deleted, or backdated by anyone (including the platform), establishing a mathematically unfalsifiable date.
Legal Framework & Admissibility
1. Admissibility of Electronic Evidence
Under European (eIDAS Regulation) and French law (Article 1367 of the Civil Code), electronic evidence is fully admissible in court. The legal framework states that the admissibility of a digital proof cannot be denied solely because of its electronic nature.
2. Trustless Time-Stamping
Traditional time-stamping relies on a trusted third party. TaleStamp bypasses this by utilizing the distributed consensus of the IOTA network, offering a secure, immutable history that doesn't rely on central certificate authorities that could expire or be compromised.
How to present this in court?
If your ownership is challenged, you simply present the original file alongside your TaleStamp PDF Certificate. A judge, bailiff, or expert can run a 1-click verification of the file to verify that the file hash matches the on-chain registry exactly.
