How does the IKR work?
The IKR record provides Proof of Existence (PoE) of any digital document, data, etc. via:
​
-
A unique digital fingerprint which identifies your digital document
-
An, immutable, international time and date stamp associated with the digital fingerprint
What is the IKR fingerprint?
The IKR fingerprint uniquely identifies your document with proven cryptographic technology (similar to that used in Blockchain). However, the actual content of your document is kept secret - just like a person cannot be regerenated from a fingerprint, the document can not be reconstructed from the IKR fingerprint.
​
The IKR proves existance without disclosure. Unlike Blockchain, the IKR fingerprint is held by a global neutral authority, WIPO (U.N.).
