VAGP / CONFORMANCE & VALIDATION

Authority you can test.

Conformance connects the protocol’s stated invariants to observable implementation behaviour. The public CF-01 assets, vectors and Core profile are available in the VAGP repository.

PUBLIC / CF-01 CORE

Conformance tests

Canonical DNA, exact state binding, attenuation, permits, evidence and monotonic trusted-state behaviour. Verimand and the Go reference both pass 81/81 Core checks.

PUBLIC

Cryptographic vectors

Fixed Ed25519 / EdDSA evidence vectors pin canonical bytes, algorithms, key identifiers, signatures and tampered negatives.

PLANNED

VAGP certification

A potential future programme with defined criteria and independent assessment. No certification is currently offered or claimed.

Version and scope matter.

  1. 01

    Reference implementation

    Agent DNA, attested capabilities, exact-state mandates and linked signed evidence. Initial implementation: b3b697b.

  2. 02

    Independent validation

    Adversarial review found enforcement defects and gaps in regression and conformance coverage.

  3. 03

    Security hardening

    Revision concurrency, intent verification and uncertain provider outcomes addressed in bb18346.

  4. 04

    Independent retest

    The retest assessed bb18346 and identified remaining regression, persistence and vector work.

  5. 05

    SH-02 remediation

    Follow-on tests, persistence failure classification and fixed Ed25519 evidence vectors. P15 and V-13 made explicit.

CF-01 demonstrates Core conformance for the Verimand implementation and the independent clean-room Go implementation. It is not external certification and does not certify a production deployment. Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure live PoVs cover the frozen 0.2 profile.
