Supply chain identity demo

Every artifact carries a signer identity.

A build artifact or a content asset is only as trustworthy as the identity that signed it. Proofnet BTC treats Sigstore and C2PA evidence as adapters, records the verified signer state, and binds it under the same post-quantum proof as any other identity binding.

Normalized packet

Different adapters, same proof record.

Sigstore and C2PA evidence each resolve into the same Proofnet packet shape. A verifier does not need to understand upstream service internals to replay the record.

Why identity first

A build artifact without a signer is just a file.

01

Signer identity

The signer is validated as an identity under Proofnet AttestoBind before the artifact is accepted.

02

Artifact state

The artifact digest and release metadata are canonicalized into an accepted record.

03

PQ binding

SHA3-512 digest, ML-DSA-87 signature, identity-bound provenance record.

04

Durable proof

Memory Blocks preserve the record; Bitcoin anchoring is optional and opt-in.
