Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Traditional electronic document management systems (EDMS) suffer from the drawbacks of centralization, the risk of forgery, and a lack of transparency. This paper discusses and proposes an architectural model for use in a mobile document management system (EDMS) combining Secure Enclave (SE) hardware, biometric validation (Face/Touch ID), and a decentralized blockchain-based registry (Python Backend). This study aims to demonstrate that such integration provides the highest level of digital trust, non-repudiation, and key security required for cryptographic document certification. Essentially, Secure Enclave ensures that private keys do not leave the hardware module, while on the blockchain (Blockchain 3.0), the digital notary records cryptographic hashes and timestamps of various documents in a unique and immutable distributed registry.
