Self-contained, not self-trusting
The carrier holds its instance proof. A verifier supplies the trusted root; current revocation remains an online signal.
CANDIDATE STANDARD · 0.1Verification is open.
Verification is open.
Claims are earned.
HelixAuth 2.0 defines how evidence becomes a portable root, how that root becomes a physical design, and how a manufactured unit becomes a separately inspectable cryptographic, optical, and attachment record.
Generated by the work
The optical design commits to an immutable evidence root. Manufacturing variation is enrolled only after fabrication.
Tamper-destructive by test
Removal must break continuity or invalidate the registered optical response under a qualified attachment profile.
Enough detail to build an independent verifier.
Formats, signing domains, trust behavior, observations, result vocabulary, test vectors, security boundaries, and certification gates are open.
