Standardization Strategy​

1. Purpose​

This document defines the long-term strategy for the international recognition of the VeriSeal Integrity Protocol (VIP) as a global integrity standard.

VIP is designed to evolve from:

Commercial deployment → Industry adoption → Institutional recognition → International standard candidate.

2. Strategic Positioning​

VIP positions itself as:

  • A deterministic integrity layer

  • Vendor-neutral

  • Jurisdiction-neutral

  • Compatible with sovereign infrastructures

It does not compete with blockchain protocols or signature standards.

It complements them through structural integrity anchoring.

3. Three-Phase Standardization Path​

Phase 1 — Commercial Legitimacy​

  • Multi-sector deployment

  • Institutional pilots

  • Audit transparency

  • Certification model implementation

Phase 2 — Industry Recognition​

  • Cross-border interoperability

  • Third-party implementations

  • Governance maturity

  • Registry stability

Phase 3 — Formal Standardization Candidacy​

  • Engagement with standard bodies

  • Structured documentation set

  • Multi-jurisdiction compatibility

  • Conformance validation programs

4. Non-Dependence Principle​

VIP must not depend on:

  • A single government

  • A single cloud provider

  • A single anchoring network

  • A single certification authority

Structural neutrality is mandatory for global acceptance.

5. International Credibility Conditions​

VIP must demonstrate:

  • Deterministic verification reproducibility

  • Threat-model transparency

  • Governance independence

  • Certification integrity

Only then can it credibly claim global standard candidacy.

6. Western / Global Compatibility​

VIP is designed to be:

  • Compatible with Western regulatory frameworks

  • Compatible with US evidentiary principles

  • Compatible with EU compliance frameworks

  • Deployable globally without jurisdiction lock-in

The objective is global interoperability, not regional dependency.

7. Long-Term Objective​

VIP aims to become:

A reference integrity protocol for digital evidence across sectors.

Not mandatory.

Not political.

Not ideological.

Structural, deterministic, and verifiable.
