Protocol // Active Interrogation

Closing the Analog Hole.

Passive, after-the-fact deepfake classifiers struggle to keep pace with generative AI. Verified Reality records evidence at the point of capture with Active Interrogation— binding digital files to device telemetry and physical-world sensor readings so later changes can be detected.

The Capture Edge

Hardware-Locked Reality

We do not trust the file. We interrogate the environment capturing it.

PRNU

PRNU Sensor Fingerprinting

Every camera sensor has microscopic manufacturing defects. The VRA app extracts this unique Photo-Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) signature and associates it with the specific camera sensor at the point of capture. PRNU identifies the sensor hardware — it does not by itself verify who was holding the device.

KINEMATIC

Kinematic Decoupling & 3D Parallax

Flat screens don't parallax. VRA actively cross-references optical-flow pixel motion against live gyroscope and accelerometer streams. If the video moves but the physical device is static, the spatial lock fails.

SHA-256

SecureStore Hashing

At the point of capture, the local hardware sensor array computes a SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprint of the media, sealing it into a Truth Packet and attaching C2PA credentials on the device paths that support the standard.

Panel A · Risk Model

The Strict Forensic Risk Model

We operate on a "Founder's Override" protocol. Missing data is treated as an active attack, not a harmless anomaly. Rooted OS layers, hex-edited GPS sidecars, or mismatched Network Time Protocol (NTP) timestamps trigger an automatic technical quarantine pending review. Seal once. Change once. Flagged once.

Panel B · Six Pillars

The Six Pillars of Truth

Once a Truth Packet reaches our servers, it is subjected to a deterministic audit that recomputes six integrity indicators: Software Origin, Device Integrity, Session Integrity, Temporal Alignment, Content Provenance, and Chain of Custody continuity.

Infrastructure

Bifurcated Storage & Agentic APIs

The Sovereign Vault (Arweave Permaweb)

For missions that need multi-year evidentiary retention common in legal and insurance work, AES-256-GCM encrypted Truth Packets can be anchored to the decentralized Arweave permaweb — a ledger designed for durable, tamper-evident storage. This lowers, but does not eliminate, the risk of evidence loss.

The Agentic Economy API

Autonomous AI agents cannot physically see the world. Our API infrastructure allows external AI systems to programmatically dispatch independent human Verifiers to establish a physical handshake with reality before executing high-value smart contracts.
