The FARO® Scan Verification Tool is a specialized application designed to verify the integrity of scan data captured by FARO Focus Laser Scanners and the FARO ScanPlan 2D Handheld Mapper. These devices automatically embed a cryptographic digital signature into each scan immediately after capture. This signature is based on a hash of the scan data, allowing users to confirm whether the scan has been altered post-capture. The tool provides a secure and reliable method for validating scan authenticity, which is critical in applications where data integrity is paramount—such as forensic analysis, construction documentation, and industrial inspection.

Features

• Verifies cryptographic digital signatures embedded in FARO Focus and ScanPlan scans.
• Ensures scan data has not been modified after capture.
• Manual hash verification via scanner GUI or ScanPlan interface.
• Supports secure workflows for forensic, industrial, and architectural applications.
• Available as a downloadable app from FARO.

Benefits

• Ensure Data Integrity: Confirms that scan data remains unchanged from the moment of capture.
• Support Legal and Forensic Standards: Provides verifiable proof of scan authenticity for court-admissible documentation.
• Enhance Trust: Builds confidence in scan data used for quality control, inspection, and design validation.
• Prevent Errors and Tampering: Detects unauthorized modifications to scan files.
• Streamline Verification: Simplifies the process of validating scan authenticity with a dedicated tool.
