ProofLink

Architecture and draft protocol for verifying the origin and authorization of public communications across publishing platforms. ProofLink is a working name.

This repository currently contains a design, the original brief, and documentation checks. It has no signing service, verifier, website, or deployed infrastructure. The protocol is a review draft, not a production security claim or a published standard.

• Architecture recommendation and system design
• Draft protocol, data formats, and verification rules
• Threat model
• Architecture decisions
• Implementation roadmap and first ten tasks
• Technical sources and research status
• Original brief
• Security review requirements
• Public repository review and corrections

Run the repository checks with Node.js 22 or newer; no dependencies are needed:

npm run check
npm test

The checks validate documentation links, JSON examples, required deliverables, and repository metadata. Ten regression tests exercise the documentation checker. Neither command tests a protocol implementation.
