How it works

Trust is established
before protected submission continues.

ColorShield ID validates the authorized interaction context and issues a short-lived authenticity proof before protected form submission can proceed.

Protected Interaction Flow

Trust is established before protected submission continues.

  1. JavaScript SDK initializes

    SDK active

    The ColorShield ID SDK loads in the protected application environment.

  2. Protected interaction context is established

    Context established

    The interaction context for the protected form is prepared for validation.

  3. ColorShield ID validates context

    Domain · flow · session · form validated

    Domain, flow/path, session, form context and license/policy are evaluated.

    Domain Flow / Path Session Form identity License / Policy
  4. Short-lived signed authenticity proof is issued

    Short-lived proof issued

    A time-bound authenticity proof is issued for the validated interaction.

    Short-lived authenticity proof
    Signed Time-bound Interaction-specific
  5. Pre-submit validation confirms the current interaction

    Pre-submit state confirmed

    Validation confirms the interaction remains authorized before submission continues.

  6. Policy determines the outcome

    Policy outcome

    Policy decides permit, warn, or block based on the validation result.

    Permit Warn Block

    Policy determines whether the protected interaction may continue, requires warning and evidence, or must be blocked. AuditGuard records evidence for warn and block outcomes.

Why copying the page is not enough

Why cloned HTML is not enough

Copying HTML, CSS or JavaScript does not automatically reproduce the authorized interaction context or a valid short-lived authenticity proof. ColorShield ID is designed so that lookalike pages without valid interaction context cannot present a trusted protected form experience.
