attesting
Vouching for truth
Attesting is the present participle of attest, meaning to bear witness or provide evidence.
Someone attesting to a fact is confirming it, often formally: The notary is attesting to the authenticity of the signature.
Documents require attesting witnesses.
More loosely, anything that attests to something serves as proof: The packed stadium was attesting to the band's popularity.
