HCCN records how an article is actually written and issues a reader-verifiable Human Authorship Certificate. Not an AI detector — a tamper-evident record of the writing process that anyone can check, on any site.
HCCN verifies the recorded composition process, not the impossibility of unobserved assistance. We tell readers exactly what was proven.
// how it works
- 01Write
Compose in the HCCN editor. It records how the document evolves — typed, edited, pasted.
- 02Record
Edits are hashed into a tamper-evident chain. Altering the history later is detectable.
- 03Certify
On publish, HCCN issues an Ed25519-signed Human Authorship Certificate.
- 04Verify anywhere
Any reader — on any site — can confirm it with HCCN's public key.
write → record → certify → verify anywhere
// why now
Generating a thousand articles is now trivial. The scarce thing isn't text — it's genuine experience, identity, and accountability.
Detectors guess and get people wrong. HCCN doesn't guess — it preserves verifiable evidence of how the work was actually made.
The certificate isn't locked to this site. It's a portable credential — verifiable off-platform, by anyone, with math.
// certification levels
Every article gets a badge. It says nothing about whether text “looks AI-written” — it reports how the work was madeand how strongly the author was authenticated. The stronger both are, the higher the level.
A real, identifiable account attests they wrote it — a signed claim, on the record.
Earn it: Publish on HCCN.
The article was composed in the HCCN editor, with a tamper-evident record that matches the published text.
Earn it: Write in the HCCN editor, then publish.
Level 2, plus a passkey confirmed the author was present during the writing session.
Earn it: Add a passkey, verify presence, publish.
Levels 1–3 are live. Levels 4–5 (enhanced device, studio) are on the roadmap.
// the badge lives everywhere
An HCCN certificate is portable. A publisher can embed the badge on their own site; a reader’s browser extension can flag certified writing anywhere; a third party can verify a certificate with nothing but HCCN’s public key.
