What is Policy Artifact?
A sealed, cryptographically signed governance object that defines the constraints, permissions, and enforcement rules for an attested subject. Policy artifacts are immutable once sealed, containing canonicalized policy definitions bound to specific subjects through cryptographic commitments.
Why It Matters
- Creates immutable policy definitions that cannot be retroactively altered
- Enables offline policy verification without trusted infrastructure
- Provides clear audit trail of what policies were in effect at any point
- Supports multi-stakeholder governance with verifiable policy handoffs
How Attested Intelligence Implements It
Policy Artifact corresponds to the 'Attested Governance Artifact' terminology in our patent filing. Attested Intelligence seals policy artifacts using canonicalization, BLAKE2b hashing, and Ed25519 signatures, creating immutable policy definitions that bind to subjects.
