DAPI Certification
Digital Authentication for Personal Identity

DAPI: your verified identity, before you need it

DAPI creates a verified identity baseline for individuals and organizations: for personal protection, digital content certification, and access to EVIDE, the evidentiary accountability platform that preserves over time structured, verifiable declarations relating to decisions, declared authority, context, and declared responsibility.

Every EVIDE account requires preventive identity verification through DAPI.

One verified baseline, three paths of use.

DAPI-IDS

Protect your identity

Create a private forensic baseline against deepfake, impersonation, and voice cloning, before abuse occurs.

The context

The problem doesn't wait

When abuse happens, the problem is not proving who you are today, but proving who you were before the fake appeared.

01 Before the abuse
02 Verified baseline
03 After the abuse
04 Pre-existing evidence

Deepfake and impersonation: why the evidence must exist beforehand

DAPI was created to address an increasingly concrete problem: the improper use of personal identity and digital content through AI-generated media, impersonation, voice cloning, and deepfakes.

Once false content has already been circulated, subsequently proving what the authentic identity or content was can become far more complex. DAPI preventively creates a verified and temporally documented baseline, available before any abuse occurs.

DAPI creates the evidence before it becomes necessary.

Deepfake

Manipulation or artificial generation of a face, voice, or content falsely attributed to a person.

Impersonation

Use of a person's identity to create seemingly authentic communications, profiles, or content.

Voice cloning

Artificial reproduction of a voice usable to simulate statements or communications never made by the real person.

Trust and minimization

How DAPI protects your biometric data

Your biometric data is never published nor stored on the DAPI website.

The website presents the service and collects the initial request. The files needed for certification are handled separately, through a controlled process with reduced exposure, with source file deletion within 48 hours according to DAPI's retention policy.

  • The DAPI website does not function as a public repository for documents, photographs, audio, or video used for certification.
  • The first contact happens through a request form; file upload takes place afterward, through a separate, controlled channel not publicly exposed on the website.
  • The final DAPI package is delivered to the client through a dedicated channel; addresses and operational channels are not published.
  • Only the elements set out by policy are retained for the process: cryptographic hashes, timestamps, and metadata necessary for verifiability, not a permanent archive of the source biometric files.
The evidentiary ecosystem

DAPI + EVIDE

How access works

EVIDE is an evidentiary accountability platform designed to preserve, in structured and verifiable form, declarations relating to decisions, declared authority, context, and declared responsibility. DAPI provides the verified identity baseline required before a person can enter the EVIDE environment.

DAPI provides the verified identity baseline. EVIDE preserves the structured Declarations and their evidentiary record.

Identity verification ≠ Authority validation

DAPI verifies who you are. It does not validate roles, authority, or the correctness of what you declare. EVIDE preserves the Declaration. It does not determine whether it is correct or legitimate.

Questions about DAPI and EVIDE

Why does EVIDE require DAPI?

EVIDE preserves Declarations relating to decisions and declared responsibility. For these Declarations to have evidentiary value, the person declaring must be identifiable in a verified way. DAPI provides this identity baseline before the Declaration enters EVIDE.

What exactly does DAPI verify?

DAPI verifies that you are a real, identifiable person, through a forensic certification process based on an identity document, a facial photograph, voice, and, optionally, a short video. The result is a verified identity baseline, with cryptographic hashes and a qualified timestamp.

Does DAPI verify my authority or professional role?

No. DAPI verifies only the identity of the person, not the role, position, or professional and organizational authority they declare. Declared authority, for example acting on behalf of an organization, is recorded separately within EVIDE, as an element declared by the person themselves.

What personal data does EVIDE receive from DAPI?

EVIDE does not receive your source biometric files (document, photo, voice, video). The link between your verified DAPI identity and your EVIDE account happens through the DAPI code and a dedicated verification, not through an automatic transfer of biometric data between the two systems.

What is a Declaration?

A Declaration is the declarative object submitted to EVIDE: a decision, a declared authority, a context, and a declared responsibility, recorded at a specific moment. EVIDE preserves the Declaration as it was submitted, together with its evidentiary record.

Are my identity documents stored?

The source biometric files (document, photo, voice, video) used for DAPI certification are deleted within 48 hours of certification completion. Only cryptographic hashes, the timestamp, and metadata necessary for verifiability are retained, never the original files.

Is DAPI required only once?

In most cases, yes: once certification is obtained, the same verified identity can be used for the EVIDE account and for subsequent Declarations. A certification update may be necessary in case of identity document renewal or significant changes to certified data.

What happens after DAPI activation?

After completing DAPI certification, you receive your complete DAPI package. Access to EVIDE is activated following completed verification: there is no automatic self-registration.

How do I activate my EVIDE account?

EVIDE account activation happens after completing DAPI certification. There is no public registration form on EVIDE: access is activated only following DAPI identity verification.

Why doesn't EVIDE simply accept an email address as identity?

An email address declares who acted, but does not confirm it: anyone can create one with any name. EVIDE preserves Declarations that must be reconstructible and independently verifiable over time; for this reason, the person declaring must be identified through a verified process, not through a simple email address.

FAQ

Essential questions about DAPI

Is DAPI a biometric database or an identity registry?

No. DAPI does not store biometric data, does not retain certified files, and does not create searchable or public profiles. It does not provide an API, and offers no integrations or banking services.

Are my files kept after certification?

No. Biometric files for DAPI-IDS are permanently deleted within 48 hours. Email communications containing your files are deleted from the servers within 30 days. We retain only cryptographic hashes (which cannot be used to reconstruct the original files), qualified timestamps, and basic metadata.

Is DAPI an automated service?

No. DAPI is a manual, controlled certification process.

Is the certification usable for legal purposes?

Yes. The documentation delivered is designed for legal and defensive use.

Can it help in cases of deepfake or impersonation?

Yes. DAPI provides verifiable proof of existence at a certain date and of identity consistency.

Is DAPI public or visible online?

No, not all DAPI certifications are public. DAPI works through two certification paths. DAPI-IDS (private identity baseline certification): private and not public by default, not searchable, not indexed, not visible online. DAPI-PUB (public identity and content certification): public by design, with selected elements published in a public verification listing. In short: DAPI-IDS protects your identity privately, DAPI-PUB proves your identity publicly.
