Technical requirements: hash, signature and chaining
Your system (with or without VeriFactu) must:
- Generate cryptographic fingerprint (hash) by registration and chain her up with the previous one.
- Keep event log (additions, permitted modifications, justified cancellations).
- Save company and, where applicable, unit’s QR code for traceability.
