AuthenPiQ provides a trust layer for image-based workflows by capturing visual content through a controlled, hardware-to-blockchain protocol that generates cryptographic proof of authenticity, context, and chain of custody. The platform issues verifiable certificates with QR codes or links, enabling independent verification by platforms, enterprises, partners, and auditors without requiring app installation. It is designed for inspection, field documentation, and other workflows where proving that an image was captured on-site at the right time is critical.

Problem
Businesses increasingly rely on images and video for decisions such as claims approval, site sign-off, repair confirmation, and compliance reporting, yet visual content can be easily edited, recycled, generated, or taken out of context. Metadata can be altered, files reused, and AI-generated content is becoming harder to detect, creating operational risk for any company that depends on visual documentation.
Solution
AuthenPiQ creates proof at the source through an on-capture Hardware-to-Blockchain protocol. Images and videos are acquired through a controlled flow that captures native metadata, validates device and location signals, generates a cryptographic fingerprint, and notarizes the proof layer on a public blockchain. The result is visual evidence with a verifiable origin, context, integrity record, and chain of custody. AuthenPiQ issues certificates with QR codes or verification links so platforms, enterprises, partners, and auditors can confirm authenticity independently without installing the app.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprises and platforms that rely on visual documentation for inspection, field documentation, claims, compliance, and supplier verification workflows, where proving image authenticity and context is critical.
Features
- Controlled capture flow that acquires images or videos before they enter normal upload, gallery, or editing paths
- Cryptographic proof package binding pixels, coordinates, timestamp, device fingerprint, user session, and workflow context into a secure evidence record
- Hardware-to-Blockchain protocol that notarizes proof on a public blockchain for tamper-evident integrity
- Independent verification via certificate with QR code or verification link, requiring no app installation for verifiers
- Device and location signal validation to confirm on-site, time-specific capture for field workflows
