Verify
Check a record without asking us
Paste the id from a certificate. This page checks the record against the anchor and says whether it is intact, without asking us.
What the walk does
Recompute
Serialise to RFC 8785 canonical bytes and hash with SHA-256. The digest either matches the identity or it does not.
Locate
Find the epoch the digest was batched into, and its root.
Match
Check the root against the qualified timestamp and, where live, the public chain.
Conclude
Return a verdict. Censio is not consulted at any step.

Verification does not route through us
Recompute the digest, locate the epoch, match the root against the timestamp and the chain. If confirmation came from the issuer it would carry no information.
