Human Authenticity Certificate

HAC

A Human Authenticity Certificate (HAC) is a cryptographically signed, tamper-proof record that proves a specific document was written by a real human — in a real session, on a specific date — without revealing a single word of the work itself.

HACs are issued by Scripli after observing a writing session in real time. They are permanently bound to that session and cannot be forged, transferred, or altered. Anyone can verify a HAC publicly — no account required.

A HAC is not an AI detector result

AI detectors analyse the output of writing — the text itself — and produce probabilistic scores. They can produce false positives on human writing and false negatives on AI-generated text. Their results are not proof of anything.

A HAC proves the process — the act of writing. It does not analyse the resulting text at all. A document with a HAC has verifiable human provenance regardless of what any detector says, because the certificate was issued during the session, not after.

What a HAC contains

Every certificate includes these fields. None contain document text.

Certificate ID

A unique, permanent identifier for this specific certificate.

Session metadata

Start time, end time, duration, and character count of the writing session.

Behavioural metrics

Writing rhythm signals, revision patterns, and a Provenance Score reflecting cognitive effort.

Cryptographic hash

A tamper-evident fingerprint of the session data. Any alteration invalidates the certificate.

Blockchain anchor

An independent, public timestamp proving when the certificate was issued — verifiable without Scripli.

Digital signature

Scripli's certificate authority signature confirming the record is genuine and unaltered.

What is never stored

Scripli observes the writing process without reading what you write. None of the following ever leave your device or reach Scripli's servers:

  • The text of your document
  • Individual keystrokes or characters
  • Screen recordings or screenshots
  • Clipboard contents
  • Browser history
  • Biometric data
