The IAP’s innovative combination of blockchain technology, zero-knowledge proofs and meta-consensus protocols allow for any of these parties to cryptographically prove the existence of evidence, states or activities to any interested party. Moreover, they allow for complete transparency without sacrificing the privacy of sensitive data. Allow any party to create a time-stamped proof of the existence of evidence, such as a legal document or an historical event. Third parties, such as auditors or consumers, can independently verify this proof without impinging upon the privacy or confidentiality of the original data.
