When you upload documents to our Chain of Title system, they never actually reach our servers. Instead, all processing happens right in your web browser, similar to how you can open a PDF file in your browser without sending it anywhere. This is possible because we use modern browser technology that can read and process files locally on your device.
Creating a Digital Fingerprint (Hash)
Think of our hashing process like creating a unique fingerprint of your documents. Here's how it works:
When you select your files, your browser reads them directly on your computer.
Your browser creates a unique mathematical "fingerprint" (hash) that represents the exact content of your documents.
Only this fingerprint is used for verification - we never see or store the actual documents.
Why You Can Trust This Process
The code runs entirely in your browser (you can verify this in your browser's developer tools).
We use industry-standard SHA-256 hashing, the same technology used by banks and government institutions.
The hash is a one-way process - it's mathematically impossible to reconstruct your documents from the hash.
You can verify this by uploading the same documents multiple times - you'll get the same hash every time.
What Makes This Secure
A hash is like a digital fingerprint - every document creates a unique one.
Even changing a single letter in a document creates a completely different hash.
The hash is long enough (64 characters) that it's practically impossible for two different documents to create the same hash.
You can safely share the hash without revealing anything about the content of your documents.
Evidence of Local Processing
You can see this in action:
Your documents appear instantly in the file list because they're processed locally.
The system works even if you temporarily disconnect from the internet after loading the page.
Your browser's network tab (in developer tools) won't show any document uploads to our servers.
We believe in transparency and privacy - that's why we designed our system to verify your documents without ever needing to see them.

Chain of Title Best Practices
Always include PDF versions - PDFs are the most reliable format for legal verification
Maintain original files - Keep source files in their original format as backup
Version control - Include both signed and unsigned versions where applicable
Digital signatures - Use PDF formats that support embedded digital signatures
TimeStamp verification - Ensure documents include timestamp certificates when possible
