Proof, the leading digital identity and transaction security platform serving over 16 Fortune 100 companies and processing more than $200 billion annually, has introduced Certify, a revolutionary solution designed to counter the rising threats of falsified content, deepfakes, and digital impersonation amplified by generative AI. Certify enables instant, cryptographically authenticated digital signing of any content using verified legal identities, creating irrefutable evidence that resists AI forgery, akin to the EMV chip's impact on payment fraud.

  • Certify cryptographically signs media and data with verified identities, generating tamper-proof records for documents, images, videos, audio, and structured data.
  • Addresses AI's "impending crisis" in identity verification, as warned by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, where AI has "fully defeated" many financial authentication methods.
  • Supports use cases like tax returns, wire instructions, legal agreements, and property walkthroughs, eliminating fraud risks in $2.5B+ real estate transactions (e.g., Florida Agency Network).
  • Identity Authorization Network allows one-time biometric save for seamless, chain-of-trust authorizations across Proof's platform.
  • 83% of financial services buyers need integrated identity/fraud platforms, per Liminal research.
  • Available now; extends Proof's $600B+ secured transactions in mortgages, insurance, and estate planning.

Tackling the AI-Driven Authenticity Crisis

Generative AI has made fake documents, voices, and videos nearly indistinguishable from reality, enabling sophisticated fraud in finance, real estate, and beyond. Certify shifts from basic e-signatures to cryptographic proof-of-authenticity, embedding verified identities into all digital assets. This creates verifiable records that organizations can instantly trust, without repeated ID presentation. Pat Kinsel, CEO of Proof, stated, “In an era where AI can generate perfect deepfakes and falsify any document, cryptographic proof of identity and authenticity of records is existential. It’s becoming a lot harder to answer ‘was this really you?’ Everything we believe and accept as real needs to rely on verifiable records.”

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman echoed this urgency, warning of a "significant impending fraud crisis" where AI impersonation is "indistinguishable from reality," necessitating a complete overhaul of verification methods.

Key Features and Applications

Certify's paradigm ensures provenance and accountability:

  • Instant Signing: Authorize any content with verified legal identity, producing tamper-proof evidence.
  • Broad Coverage: Authenticates tax returns, images/videos, records, wire instructions, and legal agreements.
  • Chain of Trust: Identity Authorization Network links one-time biometrics to all authorizations, streamlining workflows.

In real estate, Aaron Davis, CEO of Florida Agency Network—the largest independent title company in Florida—said, “Certify will help us meet the moment on the fraud threat that has overtaken our industry. We’ll now be able eliminate the risk of AI-powered identity fraud for the more than $2.5 billion in real estate transactions that we manage annually.”

Liminal research supports demand, with 83% of financial services buyers seeking platforms combining identity and fraud prevention.

Enterprise Security and Scalability

Built on Proof's secure infrastructure, Certify maintains compliance and fraud prevention standards trusted by 8,000 organizations in finance, government, real estate, and healthcare. It extends beyond e-signatures, supplanting any digital asset under legal frameworks, ensuring organizations verify evidence instantly.

Proof's Certify arrives at a critical juncture, with AI deepfakes costing billions in fraud annually. By watermarking digital assets with cryptographic identities, it redefines trust in the digital economy, protecting transactions and fostering secure innovation.
