If someone questions who created your code, you don't want to start collecting your records from scratch.
Keep them as you work.
I'm part of the team behind Ecode. It's a free service for creating dated evidence that can support code authorship.
Four technologies, one registration
Ecode combines:
- A SHA-256 fingerprint calculated on your device.
- Database registration.
- A trusted RFC 3161 timestamp.
- A Polygon blockchain record.
You receive a certificate with a QR code, a timestamp file, and a blockchain transaction link. Your source code stays on your device.
Make the record useful
Keep the registered file, certificate, and development history together. These materials can help support your authorship claim if a dispute comes up.
A timestamp doesn't tell the whole story of who wrote the code. That's why keeping the history matters too.
Registration is free. No card or subscription.
