The SHA-256 digest was recalculated from the downloaded manifest bytes.
The manifest matches the deterministic ContentLedger RFC 8785 serialization profile.
The associated Wayback URL passed the plugin’s HTTP availability check.
Any previous-manifest digest resolves to an earlier sealed record in this ledger.
Legacy records do not receive retroactive content-digest claims.
The protected public key verifies the JWS and its claims bind this exact manifest digest and ledger entry.
The JWS issuedAt value is a signed claim, not an independent timestamp. did:web exposes current state and cannot by itself prove which key was authorized at that claimed time.

Cryptographic validity, historical authorization evidence, authorization at a claimed signing time, and current declared-DID authorization are separate results. None independently establishes legal ownership, human identity, original authorship, first publication, or a trusted signing time.

Download the canonical manifest without modifying it and calculate its SHA-256 digest with a local tool. The result must equal the manifest digest printed above.
sha256sum wp-contentledger-62056285-b1b3-42a7-8575-aa4849862b9a.json
After installing the official OpenTimestamps client, independently verify a downloaded proof against the manifest digest:
ots verify -d 3d93b0468653f754fbd9a0f5c4746c2e11299d77e83518723f55da0187b060ce wp-contentledger-62056285-b1b3-42a7-8575-aa4849862b9a-PROOF-ID.ots
The signature is an RFC 7515 compact JWS using the fully specified RFC 9864 Ed25519 algorithm and an RFC 8037 public JWK. An independent verifier should validate the JWS, confirm its manifestDigest claim equals the SHA-256 above, and resolve the kid against the identity resource declared by that signature: its did:web document or did:webvh JSONL log.
