Codenotary Secures U.S. Patent for Breakthrough Cryptographic Proof Technology in Software Supply Chain Security
As software supply chain attacks grow in frequency and sophistication, enterprises are under increasing pressure to prove—rather than assume—the integrity of their software and data. Addressing this challenge head-on, Codenotary, a leader in software supply chain protection, has been granted a U.S. patent for a novel cryptographic proof technology that dramatically improves how data integrity can be verified at enterprise scale.
This patented innovation forms the foundation of Codenotary’s large-scale software supply chain security products, enabling faster, more efficient, and mathematically verifiable proof that software artifacts and sensitive data remain untampered.
The Growing Need for Verifiable Data Integrity
Modern organizations rely on complex software ecosystems comprising millions—or even billions—of components, build artifacts, and dependencies. Ensuring that these assets have not been altered is a cornerstone of effective software supply chain security.
Traditionally, organizations rely on cryptographic proof mechanisms to validate data integrity. These mechanisms generate mathematically validated, irrefutable evidence that data remains immutable from its original point of inscription. However, as data volumes scale, conventional cryptographic verification methods become increasingly resource-intensive.
Enterprises are often forced to choose between:
- Fast verification with large, unwieldy proof sizes, or
- Smaller proofs that require significantly more computation time
This trade-off has long limited the practicality of cryptographic verification at scale—until now.
A Patented Breakthrough in Cryptographic Proofs
Codenotary’s newly granted patent resolves this long-standing challenge through an innovative approach to cryptographic verification. Officially titled “System and Method to Shorten Cryptographic Proofs” (U.S. Patent No. 12,483,412), the invention introduces a highly efficient method for validating data integrity across massive datasets.
At its core, the technology enables organizations to verify that software, build artifacts, and sensitive records have not been tampered with—quickly, reliably, and at enterprise scale.
“This patent is the latest milestone in our mission to make software supply chain security verifiable by design,” said Moshe Bar, CEO and co-founder of Codenotary. “As attacks grow more sophisticated, organizations need solutions backed by cryptographic proof—not just promises or best practices.”
Dual Cryptographic Proofs: Efficiency Without Compromise
The patented solution is built on dual cryptographic proofs, a unique combination of two complementary verification techniques:
Linear Cryptographic Linking
Each transaction is cryptographically chained to the one before it using hashes, creating a sequential and immutable record. This ensures that any attempt to modify historical data is immediately detectable.
Incremental Hash Tree Structure
An incremental hash tree allows efficient verification across any range of transactions, enabling rapid validation even within extremely large datasets.
By combining these two methods, Codenotary produces cryptographic proofs that are significantly shorter than traditional approaches while preserving full mathematical certainty. The result is faster verification, lower storage requirements, and consistent performance—even when processing billions of records.
Powering Enterprise-Grade Software Supply Chain Protection
This patented cryptographic technology underpins Codenotary’s flagship products, including Trustcenter and Guardian, which are designed to secure software supply chains at global scale.
For security teams, auditors, and compliance professionals, speed is critical. When investigating whether a software artifact has been compromised, answers must be delivered in minutes—not days. Codenotary’s dual-proof architecture enables rapid verification across massive datasets, providing immediate confidence in software integrity.
Unlike conventional database systems, which can be altered or manipulated, Codenotary’s approach delivers mathematically proven immutability, ensuring the veracity of software attestations and security records.
Why This Matters for Modern Enterprises
As regulatory scrutiny increases and supply chain threats continue to evolve, organizations need verifiable, cryptographic guarantees of trust. Codenotary’s patented innovation represents a major step forward in data integrity verification, cryptographic security, and enterprise software supply chain protection.
