Open with an executive summary that HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 are organizational programs. Verae DataCubes supply store, communicate, timestamp, verify, and audit tools for the technical portion only. Chapters cover transit (HPKE, visible routing), rest (IPFS/Peergos hash-verified restore), receipts, EU Peergos evaluations (Cure53 2019, ROS 2024), cross-blockchain timestamping, and write-once Iceberg archive. PDF is branded with the Verae logo top-left and Verae Inc contact in the footer; last chapters are sourced bios for Garfinkel (FINRA CRD 5052743), Haber, and Lambert.

|

<p>This chapter summarizes <strong>James H. Garfinkel</strong> (the spelling on
|
||||
the FINRA BrokerCheck individual report; also styled Garfinkle
|
||||
in some informal references). Two public sources were used, as
|
||||
requested:</p>
|
||||
<ul class="simple">
|
||||
<li><p><strong>FINRA BrokerCheck</strong>, CRD number <strong>5052743</strong>,
|
||||
<a class="reference external" href="https://files.brokercheck.finra.org/individual/individual_5052743.pdf">https://files.brokercheck.finra.org/individual/individual_5052743.pdf</a></p></li>
|
||||
<li><p><strong>verae.com</strong>, which names Stuart Haber as co-founder and
|
||||
describes the DataCube product. As of this writing the public
|
||||
marketing site does <strong>not</strong> carry a dedicated biography page
|
||||
for Garfinkel. The product and company description below is
|
||||
therefore taken from verae.com’s company narrative plus
|
||||
Garfinkel’s own public statement of role, not from a
|
||||
fabricated “about the CEO” page.</p></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</section>
|
||||
<section id="role-at-verae">
|
||||
<h2><span class="section-number">14.2. </span>Role at Verae<a class="headerlink" href="#role-at-verae" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
|
||||
<p>Public professional listings (including a long-standing
|
||||
Facebook work listing) identify Garfinkel as <strong>CEO of Verae
|
||||
LLC</strong>, from <strong>January 2020</strong>, based in <strong>New York, New York</strong>.
|
||||
In that listing he describes Verae’s technology as
|
||||
blockchain-authenticated containers called <strong>DataCubes</strong>,
|
||||
“which conveniently and securely ensure integrity and enable
|
||||
selective sharing of digital information and records of all
|
||||
sorts,” and he quotes Stuart Haber on the original motivation
|
||||
for timestamping digital objects.</p>
|
||||
<p>That description matches the public verae.com product: records
|
||||
remain in customer-controlled storage; Verae seals a
|
||||
fingerprint; the scientific core is Haber-style cryptographic
|
||||
timestamping, aimed at compliance and examinations rather than
|
||||
at operating a public chain.</p>

|
||||
<p>A compliance briefing is not a pitch deck. Garfinkel’s
|
||||
biography is here because the user of this system is entitled
|
||||
to know <strong>who is on the commercial and regulatory-facing side
|
||||
of Verae</strong>, and because a broker-dealer or RIA CCO will
|
||||
<strong>look the name up on BrokerCheck anyway</strong>. The honest
|
||||
presentation is:</p>
|
||||
<ul class="simple">
|
||||
<li><p>CEO of Verae LLC (public listing, from 2020);</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>a long New York securities-industry registration history
|
||||
ending March 2024 at LPL, <strong>not currently registered</strong>;</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p><strong>no</strong> BrokerCheck disclosed events on the current report;</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p><strong>not</strong> given a biography block on verae.com at the time
|
||||
this document was compiled — Haber is the scientist the
|
||||
site puts on the homepage.</p></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>Do not treat a CRD number as a product certification. Do not
|
||||
treat a CEO biography as a control.</p>
