Every signed contract, debt confirmation and identity verification is cryptographically anchored. You don't need to trust the platform — you can verify the proofs yourself with standard open-source tools.

PGP Signatures

Every user can generate a PGP keypair directly in the browser. The private key never leaves the device. Contracts and debts are signed with this key before being submitted to the server.

  • Private key stays in your browser only
  • All contracts and debts carry dual PGP signatures
  • Signatures verifiable against the public keyring at gitea.parahub.io/audit

Bitcoin Anchoring

Every 10 minutes all pending events — signed contracts, confirmed debts, WoT verifications — are bundled into a git commit and stamped with OpenTimestamps. One Bitcoin block covers all events through a git Merkle tree.

  • Stamped every 10 minutes via systemd timer
  • One Bitcoin anchor covers all events — no per-event network cost
  • Proof is verifiable via opentimestamps-client with no account required

Export for Court

Any signed contract or confirmed debt can be exported as a ZIP package. The archive is self-contained and verifiable without access to Parahub.

The ZIP contains:
  • Full contract JSON with both signatures
  • OTS proof file (.ots) anchored in Bitcoin
  • Git commit reference and event log path
  • README with step-by-step verification instructions

How to Verify Independently

1pip install opentimestamps-client
2ots verify batch_ots_proof.ots
3gpg --import pubkey.asc && gpg --verify signature.asc
Legal standing

PGP signatures qualify as Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) under eIDAS Regulation (EU 910/2014). OpenTimestamps provides cryptographic proof of existence anchored in Bitcoin — accepted by Portuguese courts under Código Civil Art. 363º.
