Cryptographic Architecture

Independently Verifiable. No Vendor Trust Required.

Any third party — a regulator, a court, an auditor — can verify the receipt’s integrity without contacting Datacendia. All verification uses standard open-source tools.

🔒
SHA-256 Decision Hash
Every deliberation is hashed at completion. The hash covers the full decision packet — question, responses, recommendation, dissents, timestamps. Any change invalidates the hash.
Algorithm: SHA-256 · Output: 64-char hex
🌳
Merkle Tree Integrity
Four leaf hashes — deliberation, citations, agent responses, dissents — combined into a single Merkle root. Tampering with any leaf invalidates the root.
Leaves: deliberation · citations · responses · dissents
✏️
Ed25519 Digital Signature
Applied by the Datacendia KMS at generation time. Public key published for independent verification via standard openssl commands. No proprietary tools required.
Algorithm: Ed25519 · Verifiable: openssl dgst
🕐
RFC 3161 Timestamp
External timestamp authority anchors the exact moment of generation. Proves the document existed at a specific time — critical for regulatory and litigation timelines.
Standard: RFC 3161 · External TSA
📋
PDF/A Archival Format
Generated to PDF/A-1.7 standard — the archival format required by many regulatory bodies. Structured tags, embedded fonts, no external dependencies.
Standard: PDF/A-1.7 · Tagged: yes
🔐
Post-Quantum Option
Optional post-quantum signing with Dilithium or SPHINCS+ for organizations requiring long-term cryptographic durability against quantum computing threats.
Algorithms: Dilithium · SPHINCS+
Independent Verification

Verify Without Datacendia

The receipt is designed so verification requires no proprietary software, no Datacendia account, and no internet connection. Standard Unix tools only.

Shell Verification Commands (included verbatim in every court-admissible PDF)

Step 1 — Verify decision hash
$ echo "del-8f3a2c91-4b7e-4d1f-9c2a" | sha256sum # Expected: a3f8c2d1e4b7091f6e5d4c3b2a1908f7...
Step 2 — Verify Merkle root (recompute from leaf hashes)
$ cat deliberation.json citations.json responses.json dissents.json \ | sha256sum | awk '{print $1}' | sha256sum # Compare with Merkle Root in receipt header
Step 3 — Verify digital signature
$ openssl dgst -sha256 -verify datacendia_public_key.pem \ -signature receipt.sig receipt.json # Expected: Verified OK
Step 4 — Verify RFC 3161 timestamp
$ openssl ts -verify -in receipt.tsr -data receipt.json \ -CAfile tsa_ca.pem # Expected: Verification: OK
When You Need It

Built for the Moments That Matter

The Regulator’s Receipt™ is designed for high-stakes situations where AI decision accountability is demanded — not just preferred.

⚖
Regulatory Investigation
Regulator requests evidence of how an AI-assisted decision was made. Hand over the court-admissible PDF. The cryptographic chain speaks for itself.
⚖
Litigation Discovery
Opposing counsel demands AI decision records. The evidence package provides the complete deliberation transcript, agent reasoning, and dissent filings.
📋
SOC 2 / ISO 27001 Audit
Auditors require proof of AI governance controls. The receipt demonstrates human oversight, compliance gate checks, and immutable audit trail — in one document.
🏠
Board Accountability
Board members need to understand and stand behind AI-assisted decisions. The executive summary gives them the full picture in a format they can actually read.
🌎
EU AI Act Compliance
Article 14 requires human oversight of high-risk AI systems. The receipt documents human-in-the-loop approval with timestamp, approver identity, and decision context.
📈
Internal Post-Mortems
When a decision goes wrong, the evidence package provides the complete reasoning chain — who said what, what was cited, what dissents were filed, what was overridden.
