Core product

Give physical documents a verifiable digital identity.

T-CODE places a machine-readable TDOC DataMatrix on any printed document — linking it to a verifiable digital record that anyone with an ANANKE LABS account can check. No trusting a phone call. Verification, not guesswork.

Challenge

The problem we solve

Printed documents live in the real world — handed from person to person, photocopied, emailed as images. Once a document leaves your hands, there is no standard way to confirm it is genuine.

Countless
Printed credentials with no way to verify authenticity
Costly
Fraud from altered transcripts, fake certificates, forged letters
Slow
Phone-based verification: days or weeks, with no guarantee
Zero
Standard way to prove a physical document is unaltered

T-CODE bridges the physical and digital worlds. A small stamp on the page becomes the key to instant, cryptographic verification.

Overview

What is T-CODE?

T-CODE embeds a TDOC DataMatrix — a compact, machine-readable stamp — directly onto printed documents. This stamp encodes a reference back to a verified digital record, enabling any authorized user to verify the document by scanning it.

Physical + Digital
T-CODE bridges the physical and digital world, a printed DataMatrix that links back to a cryptographic proof.
Offline Verification
The DataMatrix carries enough data for instant verification from any mobile device, with no internet required for base checks.
Tamper-Evident
If any content is altered after stamping, verification immediately fails because the hash no longer matches.
TDOC Format

What a TDOC DataMatrix looks like

The TDOC DataMatrix is a compact, high-density barcode stamped directly onto the printed document. It carries the references needed for verification and fast scan checks.

What it encodes
Issuer and document references with verification metadata
Size
Small enough to fit in a document footer or margin without disrupting the layout
Scan method
ANANKE Mobile app — built-in scanner decodes and triggers verification automatically
Offline decoding
The mobile app can run quick local checks and then connect for full status

Capabilities

What T-CODE does for your organization

Key capabilities that bring verifiable trust to your printed documents.

Make any printed document verifiable

Stamp a TDOC DataMatrix on certificates, transcripts, letters, or any printed document. Anyone with an ANANKE LABS account can scan and verify instantly.

Detect fraud and tampering

If the physical document has been altered, the stamp will not match the original digital record. Verification fails clearly and immediately.

Access the digital twin

After scanning, verifiers can view the protected digital version of the document — a sealed copy of the original PDF. Compare the physical document to the digital twin side by side.

Track lifecycle in real time

Revoked a certificate? Suspended a license? Scanning the T-CODE stamp always reflects the current status — even if the physical copy was printed months ago.

Issue at institutional scale

Stamp single documents through the web application, or process thousands at once via bulk upload. The T-CODE process runs alongside ANANKE Trust issuance.

Build a defensible audit trail

Every stamp creation, scan, and status change is recorded. Full accountability for compliance and dispute resolution.

Workflow

How it works

From stamping to scanning — the complete T-CODE workflow.

1

Issue and stamp your documents

When you issue a document through ANANKE Trust with T-CODE enabled, the system generates a TDOC DataMatrix and embeds it onto the protected PDF. Use the web application or the Integration API.

2

Print and distribute

Print the stamped document and hand it to the recipient, mail it, or post it. The TDOC DataMatrix travels with the document — no separate QR card, no extra attachment.

3

Scan to verify

Anyone with the ANANKE Mobile app scans the TDOC DataMatrix. The app performs scan checks, connects to the ANANKE platform, and returns a full verification result in seconds.

4

View the digital twin

After verification, the mobile app gives access to the digital twin — the protected, sealed version of the original document. Verifiers can compare the physical copy to the original side by side.

Digital Twin

The digital twin: bridging physical and digital

When a T-CODE stamp is scanned, the verifier does not just get a 'valid' or 'invalid' answer. They get access to the digital twin — a sealed, protected version of the original document stored securely in ANANKE infrastructure.

Compare the physical document to the original digital version — detect even subtle alterations
The digital twin is the exact PDF the issuer protected at issuance, stored in encrypted, organization-isolated infrastructure
Access is time-limited and controlled — verifiers receive a temporary viewing window
Useful for embassy staff, HR teams, auditors — anyone who needs to confirm that a printed page matches the original
Verification

What a verifier sees after scanning

When someone scans a TDOC DataMatrix, the ANANKE Mobile app presents a clear, structured result — not raw data. The issuer controls what fields are visible to verifiers.

Verdict
Authentic and valid, or not — a clear, color-coded status at the top of the screen
Document details
Name, type, lifecycle status (active / suspended / revoked / replaced), issuance date, and expiration if applicable
Issuer identity
The verified organization that issued the document — legal name, country, sector, and verification level
Approved metadata
Only the fields the issuer chose to share with verifiers — full control over what is disclosed
Digital twin access
View the sealed, protected PDF of the original document — for side-by-side comparison with the physical copy
Lifecycle history
When the document was issued, and any status changes since — with reasons if provided
T-CODE Verification

Scan a T-CODE to instantly verify any document.

Roadmap

Coming soon: T-Object

T-CODE currently supports TDOC — a DataMatrix stamp for printed documents. We are building T-Object, which extends the same verification model to physical products and non-document items.

Verify physical products, packages, equipment, or assets — not just documents
Same scan-and-verify workflow through the ANANKE Mobile app
End-to-end verification with full lifecycle management — same trust guarantees as TDOC
T-Object is on our roadmap and under active product design

Use Cases

Who is T-CODE for?

Any organization that prints documents others need to trust.

MVP

Universities

Print diplomas and transcripts with TDOC DataMatrix stamps. Employers scan to verify instead of calling your registrar office.

Research

Government agencies

Permits, birth certificates, licenses — any official document that circulates in printed form and needs to be verified across borders.

Security

Security and data handling

T-CODE is built for organizations that handle sensitive printed documents. Here is how we protect your data:

The TDOC DataMatrix encodes a reference — not the document content itself
Only minimal verification references are shared externally — no personal data
Protected PDFs (digital twins) are stored in encrypted, organization-isolated infrastructure
Cryptographic keys are managed in hardware security modules — never in application code
Digital twin access is time-limited: verifiers receive a temporary viewing window that expires automatically
Full audit trail for every stamp and scan — accountability without exposing document content
