Chain of custody

A hash that leaves nothing to chance

Every photo receives a SHA-256 hash over the image, code, and GPS position when saved – written directly into the EXIF field Software.

  • Reproducible: the hash can be independently recalculated at any time.
  • Tamper-evident: any later edit visibly changes the hash.
  • Fully documented in the PDF report, page by page.
