# Verify That Your Lattice1 Is Authentic

You can verify that your Lattice1 is a **GridPlus original** for peace of mind when managing your funds.

### How to Do It

Here's how to verify:

1. On your Lattice1 screen, go to **System Preferences.**
2. Select the second option - **Security & Privacy.**
3. Now select **Verify Lattice.**
4. Type in **any characters** and press enter (ENT).
5. The device will generate a **QR code** - if you go to the URL that's contained within, you should end up at a **gridplus.io subdomain** that confirms the authenticity of your Lattice1.

### How It Works

This process validates the **origin of the device** itself. Every Lattice1 has a **unique ID key pair** saved in the applet when it is initialized. The public key gets signed by the issuer (us - GridPlus) and that signature is saved in the applet - we call this signature **the certificate**.

When you type in **the characters** from step 4 of the guide above, your Lattice’s ID key signs that message and exports that signature along with the **certificate**. The data is displayed as a QR code and can be scanned, bringing the user to a gridplus.io subdomain page which informs them whether **both** the Lattice1’s ID key signed the provided message (what the user just typed in should be on the page as the **message**) AND if the card’s ID key was itself signed by the card issuer - GridPlus (if it was, you will see the **verified checkmark**). This is what the page the QR code sends you to should look like:
