Encypher vs WordProof
WordProof records a hashHash: A short fingerprint of exact bytes. Any change, even one character, gives a completely different hash. of your article on a blockchainBlockchain timestamping: Writing a file's hash to a public ledger to show it existed at a given time., so you can show it existed at a moment. Encypher signs a record into the text itself. Copies that keep the mark name the signer and carry your declared terms. Stripping or rewriting removes it.
Side by side
| WordProof | Encypher | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the proof is | On a public ledger | Inside the text |
| What it proves | This version existed at this time | Who signed it, when, and whether it changed |
| Copied or scraped text | Carries no sign of the record | Carries the mark, unless a tool strips it |
| Rights terms | Timestamp establishes existence; terms can be included in the timestamped content | Linked from every signed piece |
| Checking | Look up the ledger | Read the mark, then check it free |
| Public audit | Anyone can read the ledger | Anyone can repeat the check |
When to use each
- WordProof
- You want a public, ledger-based timestamp to show who published first.
- Encypher
- You want proof and terms to stay with copies, through syndication and scraping.
- Both
- A ledger timestamp for priority, and a signed mark that travels.
Where WordProof does well
- Public record
- Anyone can read a public ledger without trusting one company.
- Easy start
- Its WordPress plugin timestamps posts as they go live.
- Priority
- A dated hash helps when the question is who published first.
Where a ledger record stops
A crawler takes the text, not the ledger entry. Once a copy is in a training set or an AI answer, nothing in it points back to the record. A timestamp proves the text existed at a moment. Encypher's record also links the rights terms you set, read from the copy itself.
For engineers
Show the technical detail
A ledger timestamp anchors a content hash in a block; checking it means hashing the text you hold and finding the matching entry. An Encypher mark embeds a signed pointer as invisible Unicode characters, plus a signed C2PA manifest, so the text itself leads to the record. Both detect a change to the exact text.
