About us
Anyone should be able to check who published an audio or a video.
Kernel Security is a deep-tech startup from Galicia, Spain. We sign audio and video from inside the signal and bind it to the identity of whoever publishes it, so anyone can check it for free. We don't try to guess what is fake: we give what is authentic a proof.
