Founder & CEO

Security researcher and entrepreneur passionate about making forged documents fail verification. Built Vertifile after witnessing firsthand how easy it is to forge critical documents — diplomas, medical records, legal contracts. Filed a patent for the PVF format and submitted the first IANA MIME type registration for document verification.

Our Mission

Why We Built Vertifile

Document fraud is a global crisis hiding in plain sight.

Every year, millions of forged documents circulate worldwide — fake university diplomas, altered medical records, fraudulent legal contracts. The damage is enormous: unqualified professionals in critical roles, insurance fraud costing billions, and individuals whose identities are stolen through forged paperwork.

Vertifile was born from a simple realization: if we can make currency nearly impossible to counterfeit, why can't we do the same for documents? We built a cryptographic verification system that makes any document tamper-evident, while keeping your content private in Blind mode.

Privacy by Design

BLIND Processing

Your content stays yours. In Blind mode, our servers receive only ciphertext and fingerprints — not a single readable word.

Client-Side Hashing

In Blind mode, your document is encrypted and hashed locally in the browser using SHA-256. Readable content never leaves your device.

Fingerprint Only

Only the one-way cryptographic fingerprint is sent to our servers. It is mathematically impossible to reverse.

Cryptographically Sealed

The fingerprint is sealed with our cryptographic signature, creating immutable proof of authenticity — with zero knowledge of your content.

Technology

Built on Open Standards

Vertifile is establishing a new standard for document verification.

Patent Pending

The PVF format and verification process are patent-pending with the Israeli Patent Office, establishing a new standard for document protection.

IANA MIME Type

We registered the first IANA MIME type for document verification (application/vnd.vertifile.pvf), so .pvf files are recognized by browsers and operating systems worldwide.

Cryptographic Sealing

Every document is sealed with HMAC-SHA256 + Ed25519 dual-signing, creating independent, verifiable proof of integrity that anyone can check.

By the Numbers

Growing Every Day

Real credentials, verifiable by anyone.

Our Values

What We Stand For

The principles that guide everything we build.

Security First

Layered cryptographic protection and live anti-forgery stamps ensure any tampering is exposed the moment a document is verified.

Privacy by Design

We built Blind mode so that, when you choose it, we never have access to your readable document content. Privacy is not a feature — it is the foundation.

Transparency

Our format is IANA-registered and our verification is open — anyone can check a document's authenticity. Our process is transparent and our integrity is verifiable.

Innovation

From patented file formats to IANA-registered MIME types, we push the boundaries of what document verification can be.
