Cryptographic Proof Check
Immutable audit trail with cryptographic proof of hiring decision integrity
Cryptographic Integrity Overview
Every hiring decision in ProofOfFit is cryptographically signed and anchored to ensure immutability, auditability, and verifiability. Our system uses Merkle trees, digital signatures, and blockchain anchoring to provide cryptographic proof of decision integrity.

Anchoring Strategy
Internal Ledger
- • Immutable append-only log
- • SHA-256 hash chaining
- • 24-hour batch anchoring
- • Full audit trail preservation
Public Blockchain
- • Ethereum mainnet anchoring
- • Daily Merkle root commits (published at /trust/crypto-proof)
- • Public verifiability
- • Immutable timestamp proof
Verification Process
Hash Generation
Decision data is hashed using SHA-256 algorithm
Merkle Tree Construction
Decision hashes are organized into Merkle tree structure
Digital Signature
Merkle root is signed with ProofOfFit's private key
Blockchain Anchoring
Signed Merkle root is committed to Ethereum blockchain
Replay Verification
How to Verify a Decision
Anyone can verify the integrity of a hiring decision using our public verification tools:
Step 1: Get Decision Hash
Retrieve the decision hash from the audit trail
Step 2: Verify Merkle Proof
Use the Merkle proof to verify inclusion in the tree
Step 3: Check Blockchain
Verify the Merkle root is anchored on Ethereum
Step 4: Validate Signature
Verify the digital signature using our public key
