AttestLayer

Institutional partners

For platforms, institutional channels, and public-sector pilots.

program.attestlayer.com is the home for partners who want to embed, distribute, or pilot AttestLayer-backed evidence packets at platform, institutional, or public-sector scale. AttestLayer is record-only. Partners keep the customer relationship and decide how to package AttestLayer-backed delivery.

AttestLayer provides record-only evidence issuance and verification support. It does not certify compliance, replace audit work, provide legal advice, or guarantee the underlying security/compliance state of the customer.

Who this is for

Platform / API partners

Platforms that want to embed AttestLayer packet issuance inside their own product surface so end customers receive verifier-friendly packets without leaving the platform context.

Institutional channels

Banks, PSPs, insurers, and other institutional channels that want a standardized packet for repeated diligence workflows.

Public-sector pilots

Public-sector pilots evaluating record-only evidence rails for procurement, vendor, AI-agent, or operational-resilience workflows.

Standardization rollouts

Industry groups, working groups, and consortia that want to align around a consistent reviewer-friendly evidence packet shape.

How institutional partners engage

1. Scope review

Confirm which lanes, surfaces, and customer segments the partnership covers.

2. Boundary alignment

Document the boundary explicitly: AttestLayer issues record-only packets and verifier paths; the partner retains decision-making, advisory, and approval authority.

3. Pilot

Run a focused pilot on a single lane or workflow with a clear evidence packet output and reviewer flow.

4. Rollout plan

Rollout plan covers volume, reserved capacity, support split, and reviewer-side communication.

What institutional partners do not get

  • do not get audit, certification, or regulatory authority on AttestLayer’s behalf
  • do not get private signing keys or non-public registry data
  • do not get permission to claim AttestLayer-backed compliance for downstream customers
  • do not get a guarantee of buyer, regulator, insurer, or counterparty acceptance

The AttestLayer trust model

AttestLayer’s trust model is intentionally narrow. It records what was submitted, what was accepted into scope, what was issued, and how the issued kit can be checked.

The model uses

  • SHA-256 artifact hashing
  • manifest-based evidence inventory
  • canonical receipt hashing
  • Ed25519 receipt signatures
  • JWKS public-key discovery
  • offline verification
  • fail-closed verification behavior

What it proves

  • files match the manifest
  • manifest matches the receipt
  • receipt key ID matches a public key
  • receipt signature verifies
  • the kit has not been modified since issuance

What it does not prove

  • company compliance status
  • company security status
  • controls are operating effectively
  • a buyer, auditor, insurer, bank, regulator, or PSP has accepted the packet
  • the evidence content is legally sufficient

Integrity and issuance evidence only. Not audit, certification, or compliance guarantee.
