Verification

Trust that holds up under audit.

“Verified” is easy to say. Here is exactly what it means at HUMXN: nine layers of checks, records and signatures that travel with every item we deliver.

What travels with the data

A record, not a badge.

The proof is built as each item moves through intake, review and delivery, and it can be checked independently.

Illustrative record. Every delivered item carries one.

01Identity

At intake every file gets an exact SHA-256 hash and perceptual fingerprints (crop-tolerant hashes for images, acoustic fingerprints for audio, frame hashes for video, text and shape fingerprints for documents and 3D), so copies are recognized even after editing or re-encoding.

02Uniqueness

Each upload is matched against everything already registered. A file matching someone else's earlier registration is flagged, both parties are told, and it stays out of any dataset until a reviewer resolves it.

Duplicate checkConflict review

03Human origin

Each work records how it was made: human-created, AI-assisted or AI-generated. Generator signatures in EXIF/XMP, IPTC digital-source-type fields and C2PA generation records are detected and override a human-created declaration.

04Consent & rights

The AI-training permission, licence terms and any model or property releases are bound to the work itself. Works showing people are only offered for training when consent is on file.

05Safety & privacy

Uploads are screened against hash block-lists and a safety classifier, and documents and tables are scanned for personal data, which is masked before delivery.

06Expert review

Labels written or checked by experts are marked as expert-reviewed, separately from creator statements and AI suggestions, so you always know who said what about an item.

Label sourceSecond-expert pass

07Signed provenance

Every work has an Ed25519-signed provenance record and a hash-chained, signed audit trail of every change. Where the format allows, a C2PA manifest is embedded in the file itself.

08Independent timestamp

Each original's SHA-256 is anchored in Bitcoin through OpenTimestamps, so when it existed can be proven without trusting us.

09Delivery marks & receipt

Licensed deliveries carry a forensic mark naming the delivery, and every order comes with a signed receipt listing each item by ID and hash.

Side by side

What you can prove.

When a regulator, litigator or customer asks where your training data came from, this is the difference between an answer and a document.

Declared

Every work's AI-training answer is published in its metadata, response headers, robots rules and TDM reservation.

Signed

Records are signed with the registry key, so tampering is detectable.

Anchored

Timestamps are anchored in a public blockchain, independent of us.

Honest

Registration is evidence, not a legal ruling, and we say so.

Data you can defend.
