Announcing Cernam’s partnership with GuardTime

We are pleased to announce a partnership with GuardTime, developers of a unique system for digital signatures and secure time-stamping. GuardTime’s Keyless Signatures technology has been integrated within Cernam’s core technology, “Cernam Capture & Preserve”, which enables forensically-sound collection of evidence from websites, social networks, message boards, web-based applications, cloud services and other online sources. As we finalize the beta release of Cernam Capture & Preserve we are delighted to highlight our strategic partnership with GuardTime which represents a key element in our technology for handling online content as digital evidence.

GuardTime & Cernam: Partnering for Verifiable Evidence Integrity

One of the greatest challenges in forensically handling online evidence is the unique fragility of the medium, based on the ability for a third-party to independently and remotely alter original evidence, for example where an employee is confronted with evidence in a corporate investigation. While developing the first purpose-built digital evidence system for collecting and preserving online content, Cernam saw the need for a proven third-party technology solution designed to provide secure digital timestamps and signatures.

Partnering with Guardtime means that Cernam’s Capture & Preserve system can provide independently-verifiable proof of integrity for this uniquely fragile form of evidence. Cernam C&P enables clients to collect online content in a forensically-sound manner, allowing online evidence to be relied upon in a variety of high-risk contexts such as litigation, employment disputes, corporate investigations and criminal cases.
For details on our integration of GuardTime Keyless Signatures and the benefits this offers for preserving online evidence please see the case study “Preserving Online Content as Evidence“.
