Evidence Toolkit™
Evidence Toolkit™ provides a set of API calls that allow any business application or service to become “evidence enabled”. Evidence Toolkit™ supports a wide range of software environments and provides all the tools necessary to simply add Evidence Seals™ to an application.
Evidence Toolkit™ communicates with one or more Evidence Managers™ to fulfill Evidence Seal™ requests. Each toolkit and the services that it supports are registered and known to their Evidence Manager(s)™. Evidence Toolkit™ allows application (user) defined metadata to be presented for inclusion in Evidence Seals™.
Programmatically, all that is required is to present the data to be sealed to a program interface, and Evidence Toolkit™ passes back the Evidence Seal™. The seal can be handled as a simple text string, as a MIME/HTML multi-media document, or as an XML element.
Evidence Toolkit™ similarly allows data to be validated by a simple call from your application. In addition or alternatively, users can independently validate sealed data through web browser.
The toolkit provides all the tools necessary to add Evidence Seals™ to an application.
Together Evidence Toolkit™ and Evidence Manager™ -
- Can certify users identities without the need for an expensive Public Key Infrastructure
- Can work with existing or new third party authentication system, extending the proof of identification to have long term evidential properties
- Automatically provide all necessary keys and passwords
- Ensure that only valid users create Evidence Seals
- Maintain logs of sealing data, time synchronisation events and all other data needed to corroborate evidence
- Maintain the privacy of user data
The only digital evidential product currently in the marketplace that provides durable and conclusive evidence of any electronic document or transaction
