You're about to sign a piece of text, but what does signing actually do, and how do we verify it is human. Well, like most technical pieces of writing, it depends. If you're on the Chrome or desktop apps all the typing you're doing is being logged, but not necessarily sent to our database. We log all evidence locally, and then only transmit the evidence required for signing. If you never sign a piece of text, data is never sent to our servers. When you do sign a piece of text we only send the minimum amount of evidence necessary for signing. We don't want to spend money storing unnecessary evidence. The exception is the website writing page. We do send that across so we can support drafts, and other helpful functionality. Once you have finished writing and click sign that triggers three things. First we send the logged data across to the backend. Then we run our Cadence algorithm. The algorithm looks for characteristics that don't line up with conventional human typing. These can be signals like excessively fast typing, or no key holding variance. Things that a human naturally does, but a fake typer does not. Finally we take the text and evidence at the time of signing and create a cryptographic signature. This signature is used to lock the text, author, and Cadence result such that it cannot be modified after the fact. We use a public and private key pair that allows us to sign text, but anyone can verify. This is very important to stop users from writing text, verifying it through Turrii, then modifying before posting. That is not legitimate and we have the signature to prove it was altered. All the signing information is in the stats section at the bottom of any verified text if you ever want to verify yourself. We also recommend pasting in the entire post with the signature to see if anything changed. Once that's done we add the signed text result to our database and publish the verify page. Then you can share the text anywhere you please! We aren't breaking any laws of physical, and we certainly aren't doing anything fancy. It's just a generic algorithm that we're constantly working to improve. Clear distinctions between AI and Human writing shouldn't have to be a black box.
