Essays on trust, evidence, and the technology behind verified play.
What Your Setup Says About You
Vera now records system profiles. Here's what we see, and what we don't.
Vera recently shipped system information collection as part of every session's evidence. Here's what that means in practice, what we redact, and why the distinction matters for trust.

Vera records what's running. The deeper question is whether the inputs themselves carry a signature, and what it would actually take to read it.
System-state proof tells you no cheat was running. Behavioral proof tells you the human behind the inputs is who they say they are. This is a technical look at what that second layer would measure, how it would survive an adversary, and why the verification story matters more than the detection one.
