Report Files Integrity
Starting with version 5.4.0, Scanning Solution introduces a new Report Files Integrity feature.
Every generated report (e.g., PCI Detailed Report, Attestation Report, etc.) now has a pair of cryptographic checksums (hashes) attached to it.
This ensures that:
- You can verify a report has not been altered or corrupted after it was generated.
- Customers, auditors, or compliance teams can trust the authenticity of downloaded PDF files.
- The same report file is always verifiable against its unique Document ID.
We use SHA-256 and SHA-512 cryptographic algorithms for checksum validation.
How to Verify a Report File
Option 1: Using the UI Portal
- Go to the Reports page in the portal.
- Click on Verify Report for the file you want to check.
- In the modal form:
- Upload the report file you want to verify.
- Enter the Document Key (this is the Document ID shown on the cover page of the report).
- The portal will calculate the checksum of the file in your browser and compare it with the known values.
If the file is correct, you will see a “File Verified” message.
info
Important:
- The report file is never sent to our servers.
- The checksum calculation and validation happen entirely in your browser for maximum security.
