How does Arkova verify documents without seeing them?

Arkova uses cryptographic fingerprinting (SHA-256) that runs entirely in your browser. We only store the fingerprint, a one-way mathematical proof, never the document itself. This fingerprint is then anchored to a permanent public record.

Can anyone verify a credential?

Yes. Verification is completely open. Anyone with a verification link or QR code can confirm a document's authenticity and timestamp independently. No account or software required.

What types of documents can I anchor?

Any digital file: PDFs, images, spreadsheets, presentations, contracts, certificates, transcripts. If it has a file, it can be fingerprinted and anchored.

How is this different from DocuSign or other e-signature tools?

E-signature tools prove who signed a document. Arkova proves that a specific document existed at a specific time and has not been altered since. These are complementary. You can anchor a signed document to prove it hasn't changed after signing.

Can I integrate Arkova into my existing systems?

Absolutely. Our Verification API lets you verify credentials programmatically with a single API call. Batch endpoints support up to 100 verifications per request. Webhook notifications provide real-time events.

Your documents never leave your device. That's our foundational privacy guarantee, not just a feature. Fingerprints are anchored to a public, independently verifiable network. Even if our servers were compromised, your documents remain private because we never had them.

How does Arkova work with our existing ATS or background check workflow?

Arkova's Verification API integrates with any system that can make an HTTP call. Your ATS, HRIS, or background screening platform calls our endpoint and receives a structured, verified response. We also support webhooks for real-time status updates and batch endpoints for bulk verification.
