Humanmark provides cryptographic verification of human intent. We use hardware security mechanisms to confirm that a request comes from a human. Not identity, not behavior, just human presence.

CAPTCHAs are IQ tests that sophisticated automation passes better than humans. Behavioral analysis can be tricked by AI. Risk scoring creates false positives that frustrate real users. These tools now measure automation quality, not humanity. Humanmark measures human presence through hardware attestation of user presence.

Because existing verification is failing. AI solves puzzles faster than humans. Behavioral patterns can be perfectly mimicked. Every defensive measure becomes training data for better automation. You need infrastructure that actually differentiates humans from automation.

Three layers of proven security: 1. **Platform Attestation** - Verifies genuine devices 2. **Hardware Security** - Enforces user-present authentication 3. **Cryptographic Verification** - Unique proofs that can't be replayed Result: Verification of human presence, delivered as a simple API response.

- Secure processing that can't be simulated - OS-level integrity checks reject compromised devices - Hardware-enforced user-presence requirements - Cryptographic proofs, not patterns to mimic Automation fails at the hardware layer: the one thing that can't be faked in software.

Stateless architecture. Nothing persists between verifications. Each request is processed in isolation and all data is immediately discarded. No databases, no logs, no correlation possible.

Hardware security is binary. The signature is either valid or not. No probabilistic scoring that degrades over time. No machine learning that can be gamed. Just cryptographic certainty.

Users verify with the same gesture they use dozens of times daily when unlocking their phone. Faster than CAPTCHAs, less frustrating than behavioral tracking, more intuitive than SMS codes.

Yes, the free Humanmark app. It's a lightweight bridge to their device's security hardware. No accounts, no sign-up, no data collection. Once installed, verification is seamless across all sites using Humanmark.

Humanmark requires modern devices with security hardware. This covers 95%+ of users in most markets. You'll need alternative flows for the remainder, but you'll know with certainty which users are verified humans.

We process cryptographic proofs, not personal data. Our stateless system discards everything immediately after verification. No profiles, no history, no possibility of correlation. Your users remain anonymous to us.

No data retention means no compliance burden. Nothing to delete under GDPR, no profiles to export under CCPA, no data subject requests to handle. Privacy through architecture.

**E-commerce**: Happy (actually human) customers, reduced fraud **Content**: Protection from AI scrapers **Social**: Authentic human-generated content **Marketplaces**: Verified humanity behind every listing The value compounds: less fraud, lower moderation costs, higher user trust.

Free tier up to 2,000 successful verifications per month. Paid tiers above that each come with an increasing monthly allotment of verifications and a lower per-verification overage price.

Humanmark works wherever smartphones exist. No geographic restrictions. Same verification quality worldwide.

24/7 system monitoring, technical integration support, and user resources. Most users never need help because the experience is intuitive.

We're not inventing new primitives, we're applying proven hardware security in a focused way. The same mechanisms that banks trust for payments, we use for human verification. Novel application, proven foundation.

We use standard APIs that underpin critical features across millions of app installations. These APIs are designed for stability. We monitor changes and adapt as needed.

Humanmark complements existing solutions. Use it when human intent matters: - High-value transactions - Content creation - Account creation - Rate limiting It's a new signal: confirmed human presence, to enhance your decision-making.

Human verification as internet infrastructure. As fundamental as SSL for encryption or DNS for routing. In a world where AI is indistinguishable from humans online, knowing what's human becomes essential infrastructure.

Each verification includes a unique challenge. Timestamps embedded in hardware-signed data. Old proofs are cryptographically invalid.

Platform attestation specifically detects and rejects emulated environments. Virtual devices fail at the first check.

WebAuthn verifies identity (who you are). Humanmark verifies humanity (what you are). Similar hardware, different purpose. Use both: WebAuthn for login, Humanmark for human verification.

Industry standards throughout: ECDSA signatures, SHA-256 hashing, platform-native attestation. Proven primitives, novel application.
