Abstract

The Trust-State Standard defines a deterministic framework for evaluating and recording the integrity and authorization state of digital systems.

The specification establishes canonical evidence serialization requirements, rule identity derivation mechanisms, and replay-equivalent evaluation constraints necessary to ensure consistent trust-state determination across heterogeneous execution environments.

Conformance to this standard requires strict adherence to the defined canonicalization, hashing, invariant binding, and conformity artifact construction procedures specified herein. Identical canonical inputs and rule identities SHALL produce identical conformity artifacts without discretionary override.
