DataTrails gives creators and businesses long-term confidence in Dropbox files by maintaining a tamper-proof record of who did what when, introducing a better way to verify files and prevent misuse.
Hello Product Hunt! I’m Jon, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at DataTrails.
With many years’ experience at the sharp end of cyber security we know how hard it can be to trust and verify the files and documents that arrive in your business every day. Fake data is on the rise, scams are getting more sophisticated, and data authentication is getting more and more expensive. We built DataTrails to make it easy to protect yourself from fake data and supply chain risks by putting advanced cryptographic integrity technology behind a simple, user-friendly interface and – if you’re a builder yourself – a powerful REST API.
When you connect DataTrails to your Dropbox account we automatically create a small amount of additional metadata about your files each time they change, and record that information on an immutable ledger. Those files are now equipped with long-term integrity and the ability for anyone to instantly verify the provenance and authenticity of your digital content using our free no-need-to-sign-up tool, Instaproof. And best of all, you don’t need to change your workflows! You can continue to email your files around, or send them through your favourite transfer app, and wherever they end up their provenance will be verifiable.
We believe data integrity is a team sport, so we’ve been working with a growing community at the Internet Engineering Task Force working on open interoperable standards-based building blocks for integrity, transparency, and trust in supply chain data. We’ve also been working with the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) community to support emerging standards for media Content Credentials with long-term integrity guarantees. This is the future, so get on board now!
With our Dropbox connector, it’s easy to automatically add audit trails and cryptographic authentication to the files and documents that drive your business. You can get started today with a free account at https://app.datatrails.ai/signup
Thanks for giving us a look and I look forward to seeing all your feedback!
Every business needs to know if they can trust their data, Datatrails is the answer.
