Proof Evidence Model

Evidence is the material required to inspect a verification claim.

Evidence
├── identity
├── source reference
├── artifact reference
├── integrity identity
├── verification result
├── provenance
└── metadata

Evidence should be:

  • attributable to an explicit source
  • immutable or historically preserved
  • independently inspectable
  • portable
  • machine-readable where possible
  • bound to a verification contract

A claim says:

This result is valid.

Evidence allows another party to ask:

What supports that statement?
