Kinode Certify
The meeting record, sealed.
One click turns any meeting transcript into a digitally signed PDF, speaker-attributed and timestamped, sealed with an X.509 signature from the Kinode Signing Authority. If anyone edits the file afterwards, verification fails.
What it does
A transcript in a Word file can be edited by anyone who opens it, which limits what it can prove. Kinode Certify renders the meeting's speaker-attributed, timestamped record to PDF and signs it cryptographically, so the document itself shows whether it has been altered since certification.
The two halves matter together. Meetings captures attribution live, with each speaker transcribed from their own microphone, and the Signing Authority (the same X.509 infrastructure behind PDF Studio) seals the export. That gives disputes, HR records, client sign-offs, and compliance archives a record that holds up on its own.
Capabilities
Accurate attribution
Built on Kinode Meetings, where each speaker's own microphone produces their transcript, so the record of who said what was captured live instead of guessed afterwards.
Real digital signatures
PKCS#7 detached signatures, the same standard Adobe uses, issued by the Kinode Signing Authority.
Tamper-evident
Change one character of the PDF and signature verification fails.
Verifiable by anyone
Drop the file into Kinode's verifier, or into Adobe with the Kinode root CA installed, for an instant verdict.
Certified watermark
Every page carries the certification watermark and the signing timestamp.
How it works
Hold the meeting
Live in Kinode Meetings, or upload a recording and generate the speaker map.
Click “Certified PDF”
The transcript renders to a clean PDF and is signed by the Kinode Signing Authority.
Store it anywhere
The proof travels inside the file. Nobody needs a Kinode account to verify it.
Verify on demand
The verifier reports the signer, the timestamp, and whether the bytes are intact.
Use cases
Disputes & legal
A speaker-attributed record whose integrity the other side can check for themselves.
HR & compliance
Disciplinary meetings and policy briefings archived as sealed records.
Client sign-offs
Certify the call where scope was agreed, before memories diverge.
Board minutes
The canonical record of what was decided, sealed the day it happened.
