ROCKVALID is a document verification and signing system that links PDF documents to cryptographic proofs and public blockchain records.
No permanent document storage is intended. PDFs are processed to create or verify cryptographic fingerprints. The goal is to avoid storing customer documents as files on ROCKVALID systems.
A cryptographic fingerprint, also called a hash, is a short mathematical representation of a file. If the file changes, the fingerprint changes.
No. ROCKVALID does not write PDF contents to the blockchain. Only compact verification metadata such as hashes, locator IDs and technical proof data are used.
No. A hash does not reveal the text or content of the document. It only allows later comparison.
No. ROCKVALID is not currently a qualified electronic signature and is not a qualified trust service provider under eIDAS. ROCKVALID provides cryptographic verification and public proof mechanisms, but does not replace legal advice or regulated QES services where those are legally required.
Verification means that ROCKVALID checks whether a document matches its cryptographic proof and whether the related blockchain metadata is consistent.
No. ROCKVALID does not prove factual truth. It proves whether a document matches a recorded cryptographic state and whether its signature data can be verified.
A RockV-ID is an identifier used by ROCKVALID to connect verification events, wallet ownership and trust levels. Depending on the onboarding method, a RockV-ID can have different trust levels.
ROCKVALID may distinguish between different trust levels. For example: pebble for demo or unverified use, stone for bank-linked verification, and rock for verification through an official identity provider.
Multisign allows several people to sign the same PDF in sequence. The document carries an embedded signature chain that can later be checked.
rvchain is ROCKVALID’s embedded document-chain format. It records the sequence of signatures or certifications inside a PDF without storing the document externally.
Cardano provides a public blockchain infrastructure that can store compact verification metadata. ROCKVALID uses this public layer as a timestamped and independently inspectable proof system.
The long-term goal is that verification remains possible through public specifications, blockchain data and independent verification tools.
ROCKVALID can provide cryptographic evidence and document integrity checks. Whether this is sufficient for a specific legal purpose depends on the law, jurisdiction and contract type.
