Method and system for verifying a recording

A method for verifying a recording comprising the steps of:

• a) Creating the recording using a first electronic device;
• b) Generating, using the first electronic device, an electronic recording file, the electronic recording file comprising information based on the recording, one or more further pieces of data associated with the recording, and a cryptographic hash function based on the recording;
• c) Generating, using the first electronic device, a pair of certification requests based on at least a portion of the information in the electronic recording file, wherein a first of the pair of certification requests is based on the cryptographic hash function, and a second of the pair of certification requests is based on the cryptographic hash function in combination with the one or more further pieces of data associated with the recording, wherein the one or more further pieces of data comprise metadata associated with the recording and/or the first electronic device, and sending the pair of certification requests to a blockchain;
• d) Receiving, with the first electronic device, confirmation of the approval of the pair of certification requests by the blockchain, and sending, from a certification server, the confirmation of the approval to the first electronic device;
• and
• e) Generating and/or displaying a verification confirmation on the first electronic device.

A method of confirming a verification of a recording by a blockchain, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) Retrieving a recording from electronic memory associated with a first electronic device;
• b) Generating, using the first electronic device, an electronic recording file, the electronic recording file comprising information based on the recording, one or more further pieces of data associated with the recording, and a cryptographic hash function based on the recording;
• c) Sending, using the first electronic device, the electronic recording file to a certification server;
• d) Retrieiving, from electronic memory associated with the certification server, blockchain record details associated with the electronic recording file;
• e) Sending, using the certification server, the blockchain record details to the first electronic device;
• f) Generating and/or displaying a verification confirmation associated with the blockchain record details on the first electronic device;
• and
• g) Optionally verifying the electronic recording file with a blockchain that generated the blockchain record details,
• wherein a pair of certification requests are generated by the certification server, the pair of certification requests being based on at least a portion of the information in the electronic recording file, wherein a first of the pair of certification requests is based on the cryptographic hash function, and a second of the pair of certification requests is based on the cryptographic hash function in combination with the one or more further pieces of data associated with the recording, wherein the one or more further pieces of data comprise metadata associated with the recording and/or the first electronic device, and sending, from the certification server, the confirmation to the first electronic device.
