How Notaries Can Be A Part Of Online Information Verification

Hey Notary!

Certisfy is a cybersecurity startup offering a service that facilitates online trust by enabling people to project trust and verify information using cryptographic certificates. 

No worries, you don't need to know anything about cryptography to understand and use it :)

The verifications are done by entities we call trust anchors, we think notaries could make an ideal trust anchor cohort to perform these verifications, at least for basic verifications such as identity, location, age...etc. 

For instance if you have been following the news lately you may have noticed efforts being made to require age verification for online services. 

With Certisfy, notaries could perform these age verifications and issue certificates for them. The certificate holders will then be able to use the Certisfy app to prove they meet the age requirement for a given service.

This is not a notary "training" hustle, there is plenty of that in the space. :)

Rather, it is an opportunity to leverage the civic trust associated with being a notary as a means to inject trust into internet interactions and transactions.

This is also not a get-rich-quick scheme. If it works, as a notary you may be able to make some additional money doing verifications and issuing certificates. 

The Certisfy solution is meant to operate at internet scale so the potential is great but of course there are no guarantees for what the experience would be for any given notary.

The incentive is that a notary can charge for these verifications. There is a bit of a chicken and egg problem, in that we need to have notaries active on the platform before we can start trying to get people to seek and use certificates. 

Of course notaries can also proactively start promoting their service once they are approved as a trust anchor and have a trust anchor certificate they can use to issue trustworthy certificates.

If you have an active notary commission, you can review our trust anchor partner program for the sign-up process.

There is nothing that you have to pay for, download or setup. You simply need to read and get familiar with what the service is about and how to use the Certisfy app.

If this intrigues you, you can start by reviewing https://certisfy.com, specifically read up on the trust anchor partner program.

If you have questions, please post them to a facebook group we have setup, we'll aggregate questions and respond to them on the group.

We also have a weekly webinar setup that will be used to address questions and do demos.

From a secrecy model of information security to a usage authentication model

We continue to be plagued by data breaches, password and credit card dumps, healthcare records...etc. One of the reasons many of these breaches continue to be devastating and effective for cyber criminals is because our current information use infrastructure/architecture relies on secrecy as the primary mode for preventing the misuse of information. Secrecy simply means only the people who have the right to use a bit of information have access to it, when that assumption breaks down as it does with data breaches, the related information can lose some or all its value. For instance a compromised credit/debit card number means getting a new number. A compromised password database means changing the passwords...etc Secrecy has its use as a privacy preserving mechanism but is fairly flawed as an information usage authentication mechanism. The idea of secrecy as the mechanism for controlling the use of information is deeply ingrained, so much so that even people who should know better often...

How to prevent being scammed via phone calls using Certisfy

Just as we are plagued by data breaches because of our reliance on secrecy as our model of trust assertion instead of just-in-time information verification, we are similarly plagued by scams related to our inability to verify unknown contacts.  Calls, text messages, emails, etc from unknown sources are now a major source of scams, cyber extortion and such. As was demonstrated here , Certisfy stickers backed by cryptographic certificate signatures can address this type of trust problem too. If for instance your doctor's office or other place of business that you have a legitimate business relationship with calls you, they can simply begin the message with a sticker code such as below. You can put that sticker code in the Certisfy app and verify the identity and related information, including for the contact source identifier (phone number, email address...etc).  If a message doesn't start with a verifiable sticker code, you drop it immediately, this effectively kills all such ...

The dubiousness of digitized signature services

Notice I referred to "digitized" instead of digital, this is a very important distinction. These services essentially offer ways to transport handwritten scribbles into digital processes. They can be anything from attaching a Microsoft paint scribble or a scan of one written on a piece of paper, to custom font generation that makes  your signature look like you are a former president of the united states. I wont mention any such services by name but if you've purchased a house or engaged in any sort of contract paperwork activity (leases..etc) you have likely encountered these services. Last I checked, one of these companies is worth north of $40B, no doubt reflecting the size of the market for such services. First, what is the purpose of any signature? as the name suggests, it is primarily to ascribe provenance to something, be it an abstract thing such as a legal agreement expressed in writing or a physical object such as a painting. We also use the notion of signature ...
