How to add proof and verify a listing with Authenk
Adding Authenk proof to a listing lets you publicly demonstrate the authenticity of content posted online. Each proof creates a unique ID and a public verification page anyone can access.
This proof is useful for a property listing, holiday rental, business offer or any important post. Anyone can check the status and compare the certified information.
Authenk also lets you add proof to files and media (photos/videos) to establish their integrity and certification date. You can then share a public link or QR code for immediate verification.
How can you avoid online rental scams?
Rental scams are increasingly common online, including on platforms such as Airbnb, Leboncoin and Booking. Fake landlords, copied listings and stolen photos make it hard to tell a trustworthy listing from a scam.
To avoid a scam, check several things: whether the information is consistent, whether a verification link is present and, above all, whether independent proof supports the listing’s authenticity.
With Authenk, each listing with proof has a timestamped record, a unique ID and a public verification page. Anyone can quickly check the listing without relying solely on the platform where it appears.
Before booking or paying, we recommend checking the listing through an Authenk link or official ID. This simple step can help prevent significant financial losses and make the transaction safer.

Frequently asked questions about Authenk proof
Why add proof and certify a listing?
Certifying a listing (adding proof) shows that the published information has not been changed. Authenk proof creates a unique ID and a public verification page open to everyone.
How do I verify a certified listing?
Every Authenk certification has a public link or unique ID. Open the Authenk verification page and compare the displayed information with the listing.
What content can have proof added?
With Authenk, you can add proof to a listing, file or media item. The platform creates timestamped proof with a cryptographic hash to establish the content’s integrity.
Is Authenk verification public?
Yes. Anyone with the link or ID can view the verification page and check the certification status and associated information.
Understanding digital certification with Authenk
Authenk is a digital certification service that helps establish the existence, authenticity and integrity of content at a specific time. The content can be a listing, file or media item; the aim is clear, timestamped and verifiable proof.
Every proof creates a unique cryptographic fingerprint (hash), an ID and a public verification page. This approach helps secure digital exchanges and build trust in content posted online.
The Authenk guide covers the main uses of the platform: adding proof to a file, listing or media item, verifying proof, consulting certificate history and using the available checking tools.
Timestamped, verifiable and accessible proof
When you certify content with Authenk, a digital record is created to attest to its state at that moment. It relies on a cryptographic fingerprint of the content and a timestamp showing that it existed in that form on a given date.
Verification can then use a public link, unique ID or QR code. Anyone can view the associated proof and compare the content presented with the certified content.
Independent proof improves transparency and helps limit the risks of fraud, undetected changes or disputes over published content.
Add proof, verify and track your content over time
Authenk is designed to support the full life cycle of trust in digital content: initial proof, public verification and later follow-up through a certificate history available to the user.
Whether it is a listing, document or media item, each certification can be retrieved, shared and checked at any time. Users have a clear view of their proofs and easy access to key information.
By bringing certification, verification and history together on one platform, Authenk provides a simple, clear and reliable framework for securing digital content.
Reduce scams: timestamped proof + a public verification page anyone can view.
