BATEN SEAL
D7_SEAL cryptographic certification act

BATEN SEAL is the certification layer of BATEN CODE. The audit identifies structural integrity. The seal is the opposable act. It binds score, source-state hash, timestamp, and BATEN signature into a publicly verifiable certificate.

What the seal certifies
Technical assertions
  • Audit score at issuance time
  • Invariant profile and BATEN engine version
  • Deterministic audit context
  • Project hash (SHA-256 fingerprint)
Legal and institutional value
  • Timestamped, signed, archivable record
  • Third-party verifiability
  • Due diligence and procurement evidence
  • Traceability to BATEN root authority
Certificate payload (example)
{
  "type": "D7_SEAL",
  "standard": "BICS v1.0",
  "project_hash": "sha256:...",
  "score": 87,
  "status": "STABLE",
  "issued_at": "2026-06-19T12:40:00Z",
  "issued_by": "BATEN Root Authority",
  "signature": "RSA-4096 / SHA-256"
}

The seal does not replace your internal CI checks. It certifies a specific code state as an external trust artifact.
