Pent-Lock Architecture

Five gates must be satisfied for a final credential. All state is server-authoritative (SSOT). The UI does not compute locks.

Time

Minimum logged effort (40h provisional, 120h final). Server-authoritative; no client-side time calculation.

Skill

Evidence scored via PAL against rubric. Min score 85 (or program-defined). Skill lock unlocks when threshold is met.

Evidence

Hashed submissions (e.g. SHA-256). Stored in vault; integrity verified before scoring.

Defense

Live Viva evaluated by PAL. Max 3 attempts. Pass unlocks defense lock.

Deployment

Human admin verification (ATO/XTO). Pilot proof reviewed before deployment lock.

ALF — Append-only Audit Log Format

The ALF export is a comprehensive snapshot of an enrollment's journey: time blocks, evidence items (with hashes), outbox events, and enrollment state.

The entire bundle is serialized to canonical JSON and a SHA-256 checksum is computed. This guarantees the export has not been altered. Cryptographic signatures on credentials use the same principle: payload + server secret, hashed.

ALF is available to org admins via the Admin Authority (export-alf). No client-side calculation of checksums.

Enter a credential ID at the verification page to confirm validity and view payload. Provisional credentials display a clear warning: NOT A LICENSE.
