Chroniq is not simply cloud storage. It is an intellectual provenance platform designed to create verifiable evidence that digital work existed in a specific form at a specific point in time — before a paper is published, a design is shared, or an invention is disclosed.
Every upload creates an immutable evidence record combining cryptographic, temporal, and organizational information — the same building blocks used to demonstrate authorship in research, patents, journalism, and creative disputes.
A cryptographic hash calculated server-side from your file's raw bytes. Changing even one bit produces a completely different hash.
Recorded on Chroniq servers the instant your file arrives — independent of your device clock or metadata.
A permanent, publicly-verifiable identifier for the evidence record. Anyone can confirm its existence without seeing the file.
Filename, size, content type, project, and owner are frozen at upload time. Nothing is ever overwritten — new versions produce new records.
An HMAC-SHA256 signature over the cryptographic fields, computed with a server secret. Deterministic and independently verifiable.
Every action — upload, download, verify — leaves a trail. Later versions extend the chain without erasing earlier ones.
One of Chroniq's most important capabilities is preserving evidence of intellectual work that has not yet been made public — the drafts, the notes, the intermediate versions.
Making a work public does not turn its earlier private history public. Chroniq preserves the private history behind the public work, available only to you unless you choose to share it.
Depending on the facts of a situation and the applicable law, Chroniq records may help demonstrate:
The Evidence Strength indicator shows how much supporting evidence exists for a record — without implying any guaranteed legal outcome. Certificates satisfying more checks are harder to dispute on technical grounds.
Every Proof Certificate contains a Certificate ID and a QR code. Anyone can visit Chroniq's public verification page and confirm the record's existence, timestamp, fingerprint, and basic public metadata authorized by the account owner. Private files and confidential content are never exposed during public verification.
IS · Chroniq documents provenance and creates verifiable evidence records. It preserves cryptographic, temporal, and organizational history that can support your claims.
IS NOT · Chroniq does not automatically grant patents, copyrights, trademarks, or any other form of legal ownership. It does not replace legal advice.
DEPENDS · The legal significance of any record depends on the applicable law, the facts of the dispute, and decisions made by courts, administrative agencies, or other relevant authorities. Chroniq is designed to strengthen your evidentiary record — not to guarantee any particular outcome.
