⚖️ ENGINEERED FOR U.S. FRE 902(11), (13) & (14) SELF-AUTHENTICATION

Prove Authorship of Every Line of Code Before You Push.

A sworn statement, tied to a hash, tied to a timestamp from a public authority, proving your code existed at that second and never left the machine.

From Terminal Commit to Court-Ready Evidence in Seconds

Three simple commands seamlessly integrated into standard developer muscle memory.

STEP 1

Seal Repository State

Computes the Merkle DAG across all blobs and anchors an atomic RFC 3161 public TSA timestamp.

$gproof seal
✓ Merkle root anchored
✓ DigiCert RFC 3161 notarized
STEP 2

Verify Offline Math Proof

Cryptographically validates commit integrity and the TSA certificate chain without internet access.

$gproof verify
[PASS] Merkle DAG tree integrity
[PASS] Author Ed25519 signature
STEP 3

Built for Engineers. Grounded in Evidence Law.

Enterprise source code protection without exposing private repositories.

STATUTORY COMPLIANCE & JUDICIAL NOTICE

Grounded in United States Federal Evidence Law

A sworn statement, tied to a hash, tied to a public timestamp—the standard an engineer and a lawyer can stand on.

FRE 902(13) & 902(14)

Certified Electronic Records & Digital Hashes

"A record generated by an electronic process or system that produces an accurate result... [or] data copied from an electronic device, storage medium, or file, if authenticated by a process of digital identification."

How GitProof Complies: GitProof builds a canonical SHA-256 Merkle DAG across every tree and blob. Because cryptographic hash collision is mathematically infeasible, the Merkle root satisfies the digital identification requirements of Rule 902(14), proving authenticity without calling forensic experts.
FRE 902(11) & 803(6)

Business Records Exception to Hearsay

"The original or a copy of a domestic record that meets the requirements of Rule 803(6)(A)-(C)... kept in the course of a regularly conducted activity... as shown by a certification of the custodian."

How GitProof Complies: Authentication and hearsay are two distinct evidentiary hurdles. By automating pre-push hooks, GitProof records contemporaneous provenance in the regular course of development. When signed under 28 U.S.C. § 1746, the certificate provides the foundation required by Rule 902(11) and Rule 803(6).
28 U.S.C. § 1746

Sworn Declarations Under Penalty of Perjury

"Wherever, under any law of the United States... any matter is required or permitted to be supported by sworn declaration... such matter may be supported by unsworn declaration in writing under penalty of perjury."

How GitProof Complies: Every certificate generated by GitProof provides the formal statutory declaration under penalty of perjury, binding the author's sworn statement to the exact Merkle hash and public timestamp. When signed by a qualified person, it satisfies statutory self-authentication across all 94 U.S. District Courts.
17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. & 35 U.S.C. § 273

Human Authorship & M&A Chain-of-Title Defense

Following the Supreme Court ruling in Thaler v. Perlmutter and U.S. Copyright Office guidance, purely machine-generated code possesses zero copyright protection; applicants must demonstrate iterative human control, modification, and arrangement.

How GitProof Complies: GitProof establishes an unbroken, timestamped Merkle DAG of granular human commits. It eliminates M&A due diligence escrow holdbacks, satisfies strict Representations & Warranties, and establishes Prior Commercial Use under 35 U.S.C. § 273 before co-founder, contractor, or patent disputes arise.
