This is the company I always reference in counters to blockchains being new or necessary. They do trusted timestamping. Like prior work, they just use hashes of hashes and metadata that they sign. Then, others can verify that. The process is very efficient compared to blockchains, the setup can be more secure, and more energy-efficient. It’s also a sustainable business solving a real need.
David Gerard pointed out in a prior discussion that they also have some blockchain stuff now, too, to reap the rewards of hype train. They did what they did without them for long time, though.
I would expect printing a cryptographic string in the classified section would be prone to errors, and even intentional manipulation, if the wrong people became interested.

I clicked expecting “blockchain” to be used metaphorically, but … no, that’s what it is. Huh.
