# HXP-010 — Standards Mapping, Governance, Versioning and IPR

Status: Candidate Standard 0.1

Helix maps material-good performance evaluation to ISO 22383, offline carrier data to ISO/IEC 20248, product-signature interoperability patterns to GS1 Digital Signatures, and post-quantum signatures to NIST FIPS 204 and 205. It does not claim conformance where its post-quantum encoding or physical profiles extend those standards.

Verifier-facing schemas, domains, algorithms, thresholds, test vectors, trust behavior, result vocabulary, and reference implementation are open. Issuance services, manufacturing recipes, inverse design, calibration controls, vendor operations, and commercial certification remain proprietary.

Protocol versions are immutable. Compatible additions use profile registries; incompatible changes create a new major protocol. Deprecated profiles remain verifiable with explicit status. Security errata and claim corrections publish without rewriting historical packages.

HelixAuth controls certification marks and profile approval. The project becomes a standard only through independent implementation, laboratory reproducibility, documented governance, and adoption; product publication alone is insufficient.
