Security & Trust Model
ATTEST-R provides independently verifiable authorization proof without centralizing control inside the system being audited.
Overview
- ●Independent authorization outside the system being audited.
- ●Cryptographic evidence for intent, approval, and execution.
- ●Verification without relying on ATTEST-R alone.
Trust Boundaries
- ●Approvals are separated from CI/CD and ticketing systems.
- ●Execution proof is bound to the approved intent.
- ●Audit evidence is independently verifiable.
Data Minimization
- ●No source code or sensitive payloads are stored.
- ●Only hashes, metadata, and signatures are persisted.
- ●Evidence integrity can be validated without data access.
Cryptographic Evidence
Intent, approval, and execution are cryptographically linked. Approvals are single-use and bound to the exact action parameters.
Evidence can be validated independently by auditors without trusting operational systems.
Verification Flow
Auditors verify that the intent payload, approvals, and execution proof are cryptographically consistent and bound to the same action. This creates an independently verifiable audit trail.
Compliance Posture
SOC 2 readiness and security controls are aligned; formal audit is planned post-pilot.
