Authenticity and Validity
Technology is a facilitator and pivotal factor in society’s growth. COVID19 has once more shown us how vitally we need the technology to fuel society. We make billions of documents of many kinds each day globally all to accomplish a specific purpose. For example, an airline launching a COVID travel package to board on the plane where individuals at their own responsibility can upload a COVID test document. Did we ever enquire about the authenticity and validity of that document? What tools have we given to the crews of the airline to check its authenticity and validity? One super spreader entering a country can infect millions of people. There have been many incidents during this period across the globe where someone forged someone else’s test document or change the date or change the test result to board the plane. As we are entering a new era where COVID or for that matter new viruses might be part of our lives and we have to live fighting against it. We need to devise a mechanism globally to ensure that these tests and vaccines documents are authentic and valid; which could be near impossible to forge. To ensure that we need to place a mechanism ensuring the presence of individuals in the test centre, test centres should function in a way where it would be nearly impossible even for the test centre to forge a document or to make a new forged test document; and to ensure that the personal information is protected and available as and when needed for others to verify, the information couldn’t be forged or tampered with and if it is, the mechanism will identify instantly; it is multilingual, it is damn cheap and affordable and most importantly the sources are authentic globally. DOCVALY has just done that.certificates, LC documents, bank certificates, return authorization issued by the government entities, and many more. As we proceed towards a convenient digital world, we need to ensure that digital documents based on which we settle a contract or a business decision are authentic and valid. This will make our day to day life activities easy, affordable and pave the way for businesses to flourish based on this trusted, authentic, multilingual, multicurrency system.
Simplicity
As we had been developing the system, our focus was to provide a flawless user experience considering the minimal user denominators. The platform is pretty simple to use and abstracted at its highest leaving the complex mechanism at the backend. We tried to keep the user input as minimum as possible and as familiar as possible while generating different documents. The platform looks quite ordinary in comparison to contemporary fancy platform cluttered with thousands of options making the user experience confusing and bemused. We sincerely believe in simplicity.
Sustainability
We are in the information age but continuing the legacy of the industrial age. For example, we still produce hard copies on paper and the same thing in the digital environment. We are consuming our natural resources in both ways: keeping the legacy intact and thriving towards modern digital development. If we could only rely on digital documents, we could reduce our fossil fuel burning and reduce carbon emission just by half. DocValy is pursuing to achieve something to that end and this is one of our core motivations. As we indulge in consumerism; we continuously produce thousands of digital contents not that we need those but due to the mere consumerism mindset which we even may not notice. These contents are resource hungry and prime factor against the sustainability issue. This is one of the reason we introduced the ‘PAY AS YOU GO’ model not only to reduce user cost and bring it down to bare minimum cost as below as five-cent but also to put a hold on our ‘consumerism’ mindset.
Data Security
DocValy is a strong proponent of individual data security and protection. We tried to maintain a standard beyond the level of PSD2 while introducing our algorithm for data security at various levels but still keeping it publicly available. This itself is a gigantic task and needs a lot of deliberation, tests and trials. We continue modifying, customizing and improving our security standard in all seven layers of communication.
Affordability
We recognize that building such a system by everybody may not be that cost-effective and hence even the governments and prime business entities evaded the ‘Authenticity and validity’ part or compromised in data security etc. But a platform like DocValy can provide the best of all the factors and still made it affordable for all.
