Category: security

Tags: provenance, cryptography, offline-verification, merkle-proof, supply-chain

Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

A self-contained offline verifier for portable provenance records (capsules), bundling content fingerprints, signed attestation chains, Merkle proofs, and re-stamp trails. It's an interesting take on transparent, long-term verifiable records that don't depend on a live issuer, with honest disclosure of limitations and a built-in adversarial test suite.

Target audience: security engineers, backend developers
