Object and version
Stable identifier and a clear relationship among original, correction, consolidation and derivative.
Identity of the act · integrity · time
Public authenticity
Authenticity is not “having a coat of arms” or “having a hash”. It means being able to demonstrate what the object is, who had authority, which version was published, when this occurred and whether the historical chain remains intact.
Verification model prepared · no fictitious seals of legal forceConstitutional proposal: proposed text · not promulgated
Layers of proof
A robust public record does not depend on a single artefact
Competence
A valid signature does not create competence that the issuer did not possess.
Preserved content
A hash, seal, signature or equivalent mechanism can prove integrity only within its actual scope.
Relevant moment
Legally important date and time must be verifiable when the applicable norm so requires.
Visible corrections
A new version does not silently erase the one that produced effects before it.
Independent verification
No single domain, interface or provider may be the only way to prove a critical act.
chain of proof
Public authenticity is a relationship, not an isolated seal
