Trust Fabric
A layered architecture of trust: Root/Vault, Trust Center, Edge and Client.
Trust Fabric explains how cryptography, policy, auditability and human responsibility connect into a secure research infrastructure.
Root & Vault Layer
Offline root, encrypted storage, key governance, policies
Offline root, encrypted storage, key governance, policies
Trust Center Layer
Intermediate/issuing CA, DID registry, audit log, CRL/OCSP, APIs
Intermediate/issuing CA, DID registry, audit log, CRL/OCSP, APIs
Edge & Client Layer
Edge node, VPN/mTLS, web clients, future iOS agent
Edge node, VPN/mTLS, web clients, future iOS agent
Root of trust → issuance & audit → controlled clients
Security posture
Zero Trust
Least privilege, explicit verification, no implicit trust across layers.
No public secrets
No private keys, seed phrases, banking credentials or sensitive operational details are published.
Auditability
Public-facing status and changelog are separated from internal logs and sensitive telemetry.
Trust Center status
Trust Center is in design/prototype phase. No production certificates are issued to third parties unless explicitly documented.
