ARALLIA

Verify a demonstration

Is this demonstration authentic?

Enter the short code printed on the poster or leaflet, or the SHA-256 fingerprint of a sheet or manifest. ARALLIA tells you whether it matches a demonstration published by an identified movement.

How verification works

  1. Every published demonstration receives a 6-character short code, used in its QR code and its short link.
  2. Every sheet and every manifest has a SHA-256 fingerprint: if a single character changes, the fingerprint changes.
  3. Verification compares what you enter with what the movement published, down to the version.

“Authenticated” means that the document exists and comes from an identified movement. ARALLIA judges neither ideas nor demands.

What the badges guarantee

On an event page, three badges sum up facts the platform can check. Each one says what it guarantees, and also what it does not.

  • Charter adopted

    What it guarantees
    The movement has published a charter of commitments (non-violence, transparency, independence), adopted following its own decision rule. It can be read on its page, version by version.
    What it does not guarantee
    ARALLIA does not check that the movement actually follows its charter. A charter is not a quality label: if a commitment is not kept, the “Report” button lets you say so.

  • Demands frozen

    What it guarantees
    The demands of the event are locked in a numbered, dated version with a digital fingerprint. If the movement changes them afterwards, a new version is published and a banner announces it on the page: nothing changes silently.
    What it does not guarantee
    The demands are not judged: frozen does not mean fair, realistic or endorsed by ARALLIA. Nor does it guarantee that the place or the time will not change: those changes have their own notices on the page.

  • Designated administration

    What it guarantees
    At least one person holds the administration role of the movement: the page has designated people in charge, listed in the “Who organises, who supports” section.
    What it does not guarantee
    ARALLIA does not check the real identity of these people at this stage: “designated” means designated by the movement, not checked by the platform. This badge says nothing about their experience or their reliability.

A dashed badge means the condition is not met. It does not mean the event is doubtful: only that this guarantee is not provided.

Does a badge look misleading to you? Use the “Report” button on the event page.

Verify it yourself

Do not take our word for it: a manifest signature can be verified offline, with the public key, by any Ed25519 tool. Fetch the signed manifest, recompute its fingerprint, then check the signature.

Pin the key: note the signing key fingerprint once from a source independent of this site (platform announcement, public repository, DNS record) and reject any signature from another key. Without pinning, a verifier can only conclude that the document is consistent.

# 1. Récupérer le manifeste signé et les clés publiques
curl -s https://<site>/api/public/v1/movements/<mouvement>/manifest -o manifeste.json
curl -s https://<site>/.well-known/arallia-keys.json -o arallia-keys.json

# 2. Vérifier hors ligne, en épinglant l'empreinte de clé publiée HORS du site
arallia-admin verify-manifest manifeste.json --keys arallia-keys.json --pin <empreinte-sha256>
# code 0 : valide ET clé épinglée | 3 : valide mais clé non épinglée | 4 : partiel | 1 : invalide | 2 : non signé
