TLSNotary

tlsnotary

Opt-in private TLSNotary browser-extension capture. Adds MPC computation, bandwidth and seconds or minutes to archiving. The public verifier sees destination hostname, sizes and timing, plus a fixed HTTP protocol marker, but receives no URL path/query, cookies or page content. A compact signed receipt authenticates the separately replayed main response saved by this plugin; other archive outputs are not automatically certified.
