Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? Find clear answers to the most common queries about enotar.io.
What qualifies as a trade secret?
Any information that (1) derives economic value from not being generally known and (2) is subject to reasonable measures to keep it secret: formulas, processes, methods, code, client lists, strategies, financial models, etc.
Do I lose secrecy by registering?
No. We store only hashes (cryptographic fingerprints) plus limited metadata. The original file never leaves your device unencrypted.
How is this different from a patent?
Patents disclose the invention publicly in exchange for exclusive rights. Trade secret registration here creates evidence of existence without disclosure, preserving secrecy.
Can I update a trade secret later?
Yes. Create additional registrations for new versions or milestones to form a chronological evidentiary chain.
What if the secret becomes public?
Once widely known, trade secret protection can be lost. Prior registrations still help prove what was confidential before disclosure and who owned it.
Is this a legal registry?
It's a technological evidence service: immutable timestamps plus integrity proofs admissible as supporting evidence in many jurisdictions.
What file types are supported?
Any digital file: documents, archives (.zip), code files, images, spreadsheets, presentations, databases exports (CSV, SQL dumps), etc.
How fast is registration?
Typically under a minute: encrypt locally, hash, transmit hash + encrypted blob, anchor and issue certificate.
