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.

Trusted URLs Via Cryptographic Signatures

With Certisfy sticker functionality, ie the ability to publish cryptographic signatures as claims, users can share trusted URLs by leveraging the verification tied to trustworthy claims. URLs can be included in trustworthy claims and posted for anything for which a user wants to project trust. They can also be restricted to sources(ie referrer) so that the link can't be fraudulently reposted elsewhere. When you include links in a claim that you want to associate trust with, users will first be able to verify the link provider via the claim and then decide whether the link and associated information is trustworthy. In an AI saturated online space, there is significant value in a link/url being able to provide a strong signal of authenticity or trust. A trusted creator or a journalist can post links tied to a Certisfy verification as a means to project trust and expand reach. With verification links backed by high quality trust projection, we can have in essence a verified web. Here...

Using .gov Email Addresses For Age And Information Verification

Over the years we've experimented with ideas that leverage what can be thought of as civic trust infrastructure to address trust related problems on the Internet.  Previously we created a browser extension and proxy service that allowed users to use access to their IRS  Get Transcript ONLINE  access as a way to procure trustworthy cryptographic ID certificates.  Essentially treating access to the Get Transcript ONLINE service as automatic ID verification and using that to issue (via a web proxy) ID certificates.  We also developed the trust relay protocol , a similar approach that leverages existing sources of trust as a means to address internet trust challenges. These experiments ultimately lead to the development of the Certisfy app and service. We have launched another significant experimental approach, leveraging .gov email addresses as a mechanism for bootstrapping a cryptographic trust chain . Think of this as a sort of  web of trust implementa...

Using Keybase and PGP To Build Certificate Trust Chains

We are expanding our previous experiment to include people who posses PGP keys hosted at certain domains. For now we are whitelisting Keybase.io, meaning if you have a Keybase PGP key it can be used to procure a trust anchor certificate via the Certisfy app. It should be noted that this is strictly experimental, meaning most certificates will likely at some point be suspended or out right revoked if it seems they are being used to issue untrustworthy certificates.  The allowance of Keybase is not ideal since there is no id proofing and there is no reason to assume the person behind the Keybase key is a suitable trust anchor. It is however something used by folks interested in cryptographic solutions related to internet trust and security, so at least for experimentation it is appropriate. To validate a certificate request with your Keybase PGP key, first use your Keybase key to sign the following text (no trailing or leading spaces): Using public key hosted at ${PGPPubkeyURL} , ...
