Let's Seal - Free open standard for document signing and verification

Let's Seal is the open standard for proving any file is real and unaltered, acting as the 'Let's Encrypt' for document proof. This free, self-hosted solution uses the SEAL protocol to cryptographically verify file integrity, timestamp existence via Bitcoin, and confirm issuer identity. Supporting formats like PDF, images, and software artifacts, it offers a hosted web app, CLI tools, and APIs. Unlike paid notarization, it provides permanent, tamper-evident verification without vendor lock-in, ensuring authenticity is public infrastructure rather than a rental service.

Authenticity is infrastructure. It shouldn't be for rent.
