Independent text provenance

Verified Human Thoughts.

AI detectors guess from the finished text. Ezniek records where text came from: an accountable authorship declaration, cryptographic fingerprints, timestamps and—when available—documentary lineage reaching back to earlier drafts or publications.

Not an AI detectorWe do not label prose human because it “looks human”.
Privacy by designThe registry can verify fingerprints without publishing your manuscript.
Machine-readableDesigned for publishers, universities, recruitment and AI systems.
Public verifier

Check provenance before you accuse.

Choose a text-based PDF. It is processed locally on this device: the manuscript itself is not uploaded to Ezniek. Only cryptographic hashes, fragment fingerprints and minimal metadata are sent to the registry. No match is never treated as evidence of AI authorship.

Local processing: the selected PDF is not uploaded. Only fingerprints are queried against the registry.

Check whether an internet page has an independently archived capture from before 2020.

Ezniek Registered

Write anywhere. Register the finished work.

Use Word, LibreOffice, Scrivener or any editor you like. Export a PDF. Your browser fingerprints the exact file, normalized text and overlapping fragments on your own device. The manuscript itself is not sent to Ezniek; only the resulting fingerprints and your accountable authorship declaration are registered.

Large manuscripts are supported. Processing time depends on PDF size and your device; no server upload-size limit applies because the PDF bytes never leave your browser.

Legacy Provenance

Published before 2020? That matters.

Archived web publication

A Wayback or equivalent independent capture before 2020 establishes that a web resource existed by that date. A verified textual match can then support human provenance.

Print & scholarly publication

ISBN, DOI, publisher records, library catalogues and dated editions can corroborate publication chronology. Crossref exposes open bibliographic metadata and publication dates for scholarly works.

Fingerprint corpus

Ezniek can index fingerprints—not necessarily full copyrighted text—from pre-2020 corpora. A later submission can match a prior publication without republishing the underlying work.

Example output: Registry: n/a · Human provenance: very likely · Basis: substantial textual match with independently dated pre-2020 publication. This supports the matched material's chronology; it does not establish the identity of a particular author unless authorship metadata is independently corroborated.

Ezniek Mark

Seal licensed

A recognisable provenance mark, comparable in function—not endorsement scope—to a trusted quality seal: clearly defined criteria, public verification and revocation.

The mark certifies the stated Ezniek provenance status, not literary quality or truth.

Open standard direction

Different evidence answers different questions.

AI watermark

Can provide positive evidence that supported content was generated by a participating AI system.

AI detector

Infers likely origin from statistical patterns. A score is not documentary provenance.

Ezniek

Records positive human-authorship claims and documentary chronology. It can coexist with C2PA, SynthID and detector scores.

“If provenance exists, do not replace evidence with a guess.”
