PSI-07: Receipts for Organic Production Records

Abstract

This document defines PSI-07, a domain profile of Proof of Stateful Integrity (PSI) for production records for organic certification, such as input purchases, field activities, and inspection notes. Each record is sealed as a PSI receipt so that later alteration, reordering, or removal is detectable. Only digests are sealed. PSI-07 shows integrity and ordering only; it does not show that a product is organic or that any certification standard was met.

Earlier revisions carried this title over an abstract describing regulatory monitoring signals. This revision makes the body match the title.

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This profile applies the receipt format of [PSI] to one record type. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", and "MAY" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

2. Record Profile

A record is a JSON object that MUST contain the following members and MAY contain others:

The record holder computes the record digest per [PSI] and submits only the digest for sealing. Records SHOULD NOT contain personal data.

3. Verification

A verifier given a record and its receipt verifies the receipt per [PSI]. Verification reports digest match and signature validity only.

4. Security Considerations

The considerations of [PSI] apply. A record that was false when sealed remains false; a record that was never sealed is not detected as missing unless records are chained.

5. IANA Considerations

This document has no IANA actions.
