Security
&
Operational Integrity
Security within the National AI Feed is centered on verified Authority Records, provider-scoped authorization, structured publishing controls, cryptographic proof fields, and operational trust boundaries rather than standalone public account systems.
Authority Records • Provider authorization • Attribution integrity • Cryptographic provenance
Attribution Integrity Depends on
Verified Operational Boundaries
AI systems increasingly interpret, summarize, compare, and restate public-sector information outside the original publishing environment. Operational publishing integrity depends on preserving clear relationships between verified government authorities, verified Authority Records, participating GovTech Providers, cryptographically signed feed records, and structured machine-readable publishing workflows.

Operational Authorization Controls
Provider and Authority Record Authorization
Participating GovTech Provider systems operate through provider-scoped authorization environments tied to verified Authority Records. Authorization controls are designed to preserve structured publishing integrity, verified authority continuity, and National AI Feed participation boundaries.
Operational publishing relationships are validated prior to downstream National AI Feed processing.
Verified Authority Validation
Publishing authority remains tied to verified government operational identity, jurisdiction continuity, verified Authority Records, and attributable public communication environments.
Structured publishing workflows preserve machine-readable provenance and attribution relationships throughout downstream processing environments.
Server-Side Publishing Controls
Authorization logic, Authority Record validation, provider relationships, and structured publishing controls are enforced server-side and are not configurable through public publishing environments.
Operational publishing constraints are designed to preserve attribution integrity and reduce unauthorized publishing risk.
Cryptographic Provenance Controls
Verified Authority Record publications submitted through the GovTech Provider API may receive cryptographic proof fields after authority validation, queue processing, and National AI Feed normalization.
Record Hashing
After a record completes processing, Aigistry generates a SHA-256 hash from the finalized machine-readable record. The hash functions as a tamper-evident fingerprint for the publication.
Ed25519 Signatures
Aigistry signs the finalized record hash using Ed25519 cryptographic signatures. The resulting signature is attached to the feed record together with signing metadata and a public key reference.
Public-Key Verification
Downstream systems may validate signed records using Aigistry’s public verification key. If a signed record is modified after signing, the signature no longer validates against the published record hash.
Cryptographic provenance does not replace authority verification, jurisdiction attribution, timestamps, or source publication. It adds a verifiable integrity layer to signed National AI Feed records after validation and processing.
Signed Feed Record Fields
Signed National AI Feed records may include proof fields that allow record integrity to be independently evaluated after publication.
Example Proof Fields
{
"record_hash": "sha256:...",
"signature": "...",
"signature_algorithm": "Ed25519",
"signed_at": "2026-06-02T17:45:01+00:00",
"public_key_id": "aigistry-registry-key-1"
}
These proof fields indicate that the record passed through the verified Provider API publishing pipeline, was normalized into the National AI Feed workflow, and was signed after processing.
Infrastructure Integrity Controls
Token and Authorization Controls
Operational authorization environments may include provider-scoped authorization, Authority Record validation, temporary authorization tokens, expiration controls, operational verification checks, and constrained publishing workflows.
Authorization environments are designed to reduce operational misuse and preserve publishing continuity.
Queue and Processing Integrity
Structured publishing records are processed through controlled downstream infrastructure workflows designed to preserve machine-readable attribution continuity, operational validation, structured publishing consistency, and cryptographic signing readiness.
Processing environments maintain operational separation between Provider systems and downstream attribution infrastructure.
Reduced Operational Attack Surface
National AI Feed infrastructure prioritizes narrowly scoped operational publishing environments, constrained authorization pathways, Provider validation, Authority Record validation, cryptographic proof fields, and structured publishing boundaries to reduce unnecessary exposure.
Operational publishing workflows remain intentionally constrained to preserve attribution integrity and machine-readable reliability.
Security within the National AI Feed is achieved through verified Authority Records, provider and Authority Record authorization, structured publishing controls, constrained infrastructure boundaries, cryptographic feed integrity, and machine-readable attribution reliability.
Aigistry Secures the
Attribution Infrastructure Layer
Existing GovTech Provider systems remain responsible for their own operational environments, internal workflows, user management, dashboards, reporting, exports, audit history, customer support, and communication systems. Aigistry operates independently as downstream attribution infrastructure designed to preserve structured provenance, verification continuity, cryptographic integrity, and machine-readable publishing reliability.
Scope and Infrastructure Role
Infrastructure Scope
Aigistry secures downstream attribution infrastructure, Authority Record validation, structured publishing authorization, machine-readable provenance continuity, cryptographic record integrity, and National AI Feed processing environments.
The registry does not govern internal agency communication workflows, operational publishing systems, records systems, Provider-managed environments, dashboards, reporting systems, exports, audit history, customer support, or client-facing operational history.
Operational Separation
GovTech Provider systems remain the primary operational publishing environments while Aigistry operates downstream as structured attribution infrastructure designed for AI interpretation and citation continuity.
This operational separation helps preserve neutrality, interoperability, provider independence, cryptographic integrity, and machine-readable attribution reliability across participating environments.
