Validator
The YourSixOS Validator application is used to validate evidence exports.
Once an evidence export has been created using the main application, the export can be checksum validated for authenticity and integrity, essentially guaranteeing that an exported archive has not been tampered with.
The validator application is publicly available on the internet and does not require any authentication. This is to allow third parties, e.g. law enforcement, to use the application to validate integrity on their own initiative.
The validator application is available at https://validator.platform.yoursix.com

Technical details
- The checksum is calculated in the frontend, and thus, the exported archive isn't uploaded to our servers when being validated. This means that there is no heavy data quota being used when running the application.
- The checksum algorithm is
SHA512
. - Validation is only possible on exports created after January 13, 2023.
