## Description

ScoreDetect offers blockchain-based verification services for media content: Blockchain Timestamping (immutable timestamp for creatives), Blockchain E-Notary (digital notary service for contractual documents and creative content).

The problem of digital authorship: A photo is created, published online, and weeks or months later used by a third party or claimed as their own work. Without a blockchain-based timestamp, proving original authorship is difficult — metadata can be manipulated, EXIF data can be altered. ScoreDetect solves this: the creator uploads the content (or its hash) to the ScoreDetect platform; ScoreDetect anchors a cryptographic fingerprint (hash) on the blockchain; the timestamp is immutable and proves that the content existed in this form at that time. Applications: (1) PR agencies secure press materials and campaign motifs against misuse. (2) Photographers prove the creation date of their images. (3) Journalists secure research results as tamper-proof evidence. (4) Brands protect logos, design elements, advertising motifs. Blockchain E-Notary extends this to contractual documents: contracts are blockchain-timestamped as proof that both parties had an agreement at time X.

## Benefits

- Legally secure documentation of intellectual property minimises liability risks and strengthens the position in copyright disputes.
- Immutable blockchain storage ensures lasting evidential value for the authenticity of digital content.
- Integration with over 7,000 existing apps enables seamless workflows without system changes.
- Automated verification processes significantly reduce manual effort and human error.
- Employees can automatically protect their creative works and clearly prove authorship when needed.

## Challenges

- Integration into existing corporate systems can present technical challenges with older or highly specialised software environments.
- The complexity of blockchain technology requires training for employees without a technical background.
- Dependence on the stability and availability of the underlying blockchain infrastructure can affect business processes.
- Employees must learn new digital verification processes and integrate them into their daily workflows.

## Technology foundation

ScoreDetect uses blockchain technology for immutable storage of SHA-256 checksums of digital content with timestamp functionality. The platform creates a unique digital fingerprint for each content and stores it along with the blockchain transaction URL on the blockchain, making subsequent manipulations detectable.
