Proof's PKI-Based Verification Layer
Notarize
Proof is trying to turn one time identity checks into reusable trust infrastructure. Its edge is not just checking an ID on a single transaction, it is combining its own certificate authority, PKI based signing system, and a large archive of recorded identity sessions so the same verified person can later sign, authorize, or certify new documents with stronger evidence than a basic selfie and ID scan.

Certify moves Proof beyond notarization into attaching a cryptographic certificate to digital content. In practice, that means a document or communication can carry tamper evident proof that a specific verified person approved it, which is exactly what enterprises need as deepfakes make screenshots, videos, and PDFs easier to fake.
-
The recorded session network matters because Proof has already logged nearly 1 million hours of identity sessions and millions of authorizations. That gives it training data and historical behavior signals for products like OmniTrust and Defend, which use prior session history, video, and network signals to spot impersonation and deepfakes.
-
This is a different position from document workflow vendors like PandaDoc or closing orchestration platforms like Snapdocs. Those systems help move documents through a workflow, while Proof is trying to become the trust check that sits underneath the workflow, closer to Jumio, Persona, and other identity infrastructure vendors, but with live video, recorded evidence, and its own certificates.
The next step is for Proof to show up wherever high value digital actions happen, payments, government disbursements, lending, and digital asset compliance. If it keeps converting notarization traffic into reusable credentials and cryptographic proof, it can expand from a per transaction service into a verification layer that other systems depend on.
