24 alternatives to BlkSeal

Hi HN — I built an experimental demo that creates and verifies revocable digital signature artifacts using deep learning encoding models instead of traditional cryptographic keys. In this system, a specific model instance encodes file metadata into a signature artifact. That same model instance is required to verify it. Signing authority is controlled through a short-lived “lease” (15 minutes), and can be revoked to intentionally invalidate verification. This is not RSA/ECDSA, and I’m not making cryptographic claims or guarantees. I’m exploring whether the encoding method combined with…

    I'm a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into DevOps no matter how hard I try to escape it. I recently moved into a Lead DevOps Engineer role writing tooling to automate a lot of the pain away. On my own time outside of work, I built Artifact Keeper — a self-hosted artifact registry that supports 45+ package formats. Security scanning, SSO, replication, WASM plugins — it's all in the MIT-licensed release. No enterprise tier. No feature gates. No surprise invoices. Your package managers — pip, npm, docker, cargo, helm, go, all of them — talk directly to it using their native…

    TLDR, Let's Seal gives the finger to Adobe and every doc signing tool (docusign, google, etc) who pay to play with the Adobe Approved Trust List and then charge you for something that should be free. Currently even the person checking if a document/contract is sealed or code is authentic has to also be inside the same Adobe walled garden too. Verification, the part that should be free is the part everyone charges for. Thats the shape Let's Encrypt fixed for TLS, and I wanted the same thing for documents and files. The core idea therefore needed to go a bit beyond e signatures and i…

    Hey HN! We're building an open-source CMS designed to help creators with every part of the content production pipeline. We're showing our tiny first step: A tool designed to take in a Twitter username and produce an "identity card" based on it. We expect to use an approach similar to [Constitutional AI] with an explicit focus on repeatability, testability, and verification of an "identity card." We think this approach could be used to create finetuning examples for training changes, or serve as inference time insight for LLMs, or most likely a combination of the two. The tooling we're…

    VEKOS(Verified Experimental Kernel OS) is a Rust-based experimental kernel that focuses on runtime verification and security. Every filesystem operation and memory allocation generates cryptographic proofs that can be verified in real-time, ensuring system integrity. Think of it like a blockchain for OS operations rather than just storage verification. Key features: - Merkle tree-backed filesystem with operation verification - Memory manager with CoW and proof generation - Buddy allocator with zone-based memory management - Shell with VT100 support - Verified boot sequence with stage…

    I built AI Trust Proof — an experiment in recording human good faith on-chain so it can be independently verified by people, software, or (eventually) AI systems. What it does (today) - Lets you sign a plain-English pledge and record its signature hash + metadata on Solana (devnet). - Mints a symbolic NFT badge pointing to that record. - Creates a verification page that shows the pledge, signature, and on-chain proof. What it’s not - No token, no airdrops, no yield. - Not a reputation score or KYC. - Currently just one signal: "Pledge signed." Why - If AI systems begin prioritizing who to…

    We open-sourced the TLA+ and Fizzbee verified spec behind Ursa's storage engine. Verification across ~200K states caught a design bug that years of production missed. We then handed the spec to Claude Code — it produced a working Rust implementation (concurrent producers, compaction, fencing) without back-and-forth. We think verified specs are the best harness for coding agents: open-source the spec, let anyone implement it.
