Freeze digital
evidence before
it disappears.

C.E.R.T.O. certifies web pages, files, email, chats and cloud content autonomously, without intermediaries and with full legal value.

Do-it-yourself forensic capture: you turn online content into a bundle that holds up in court — one even the opposing party can verify. Without calling in an expert.

What we capture

Nine forensic acquisition modules.

C.E.R.T.O. acquires and seals nine kinds of digital content. Every acquisition produces a BagIt bundle signed with Ed25519, with a double RFC 3161 timestamp, a CASE/UCO description, a forensic report and 5-year archiving.

Chain of custody

The same chain of custody, whatever you capture.

How the content is captured changes from module to module, but from there every exhibit follows the exact same documented path — fingerprint, signature, timestamp, description and verification — without a single bit being altered.

01 · ACQUIRE

Acquisition

Forensic collection of the content and its origin metadata, using each module's specific method.

02 · HASH

Fingerprint

Computation of MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 hashes that uniquely identify each file.

03 · SIGN

Bundle & signature

BagIt 1.0 bundle signed with an Ed25519 key bound to the device identity.

04 · STAMP

Double timestamp

Double RFC 3161 timestamp — inner anchor and outer seal — with a free cascade and optional eIDAS InfoCert.

05 · VERIFY

Verification & preservation

CASE/UCO and offline verification by anyone; secure archiving for five years.

The evidence that can't be torn down

Verifiable even by the opposing party.

Anyone can dispute a screenshot: "you edited it", "that's not the real date". A C.E.R.T.O. bundle can't be. Together with the evidence you hand over a digital fingerprint (a code that changes if even a single bit is touched, so tampering becomes obvious) and a certified timestamp (the official, non-falsifiable date of the acquisition).

And the decisive point: the opposing party can run the verification itself, offline and without trusting you. The bundle is checked with open, standard tools (BagIt, CASE/UCO — the internationally recognized formats for digital exhibits). If the file is authentic, verification confirms it; if someone tampered with it, it shows. There's no arguing with data like that.
