EG-VERIFY-001 Cryptographic Runtime Verification Requirements

1/11 Execution Governance Standards Initiative

Version: Draft v0.1

Classification: Public Infrastructure Specification

Specification Family: Runtime Verification Standards

Abstract

EG-VERIFY-001 defines cryptographic runtime verification requirements for regulated AI and orchestration infrastructure environments.

The specification establishes mandatory verification controls including runtime integrity validation, cryptographic authorization proofing, immutable verification continuity, distributed governance synchronization, fail-closed execution enforcement, and execution lineage verification propagation.

The framework positions runtime verification as a deterministic execution governance enforcement system rather than a passive monitoring mechanism.

1. Runtime Verification Principle

Execution MUST NOT proceed without cryptographic runtime verification validation.

Verification enforcement SHALL include:

• authorization proof validation• runtime integrity verification• execution artifact inspection• governance synchronization continuity• immutable proof generation• fail-closed enforcement validation

Unverifiable execution SHALL result in deterministic denial.

2. Verification Coordination Requirements

Governed runtime environments SHALL maintain verification coordination systems responsible for:

• runtime verification propagation• cryptographic proof synchronization• governance telemetry coordination• execution integrity continuity• distributed trust synchronization• immutable audit continuity

Verification coordination SHALL remain synchronized across distributed runtime systems.

3. Cryptographic Validation Requirements

Execution governance systems SHALL validate:

1. Authorization Artifacts

2. Runtime Integrity Proofs

3. Signed Governance Decisions

4. Execution State Continuity

5. Cryptographic Trust Chains

6. Immutable Verification Records

7. Distributed Verification Consistency

Cryptographic verification SHALL occur prior to execution approval.

4. Fail-Closed Verification Enforcement

Runtime governance environments MUST operate under deterministic fail-closed verification enforcement.

Failure conditions SHALL trigger execution denial including:

• invalid cryptographic signatures• unverifiable authorization artifacts• runtime integrity mismatch• governance synchronization failure• proof continuity interruption• distributed verification inconsistency• immutable audit corruption• telemetry desynchronization

Execution MUST default to denial during verification uncertainty.

5. Runtime Integrity Verification

Governed execution systems SHALL inspect runtime integrity including:

• workload configuration integrity• orchestration dependency consistency• environment synchronization continuity• telemetry integrity validation• execution context consistency• runtime state verification

Integrity failures SHALL trigger fail-closed governance protections.

6. Immutable Verification Requirements

Execution governance environments SHALL maintain immutable verification continuity supporting:

• tamper-evident governance records• immutable proof persistence• distributed verification replication• cryptographic lineage continuity• governance evidence synchronization• audit integrity continuity

Verification continuity SHALL remain immutable and verifiable across distributed runtime systems.

7. Distributed Verification Synchronization

Distributed runtime governance systems SHALL synchronize:

• verification state continuity• cryptographic proof propagation• governance routing consistency• runtime telemetry continuity• execution integrity synchronization• immutable audit persistence

Desynchronization SHALL trigger execution containment protections.

8. Execution Lineage Verification

Governed execution environments SHALL maintain immutable verification lineage continuity including:

• authorization verification records• runtime integrity telemetry• cryptographic proof references• governance synchronization events• execution state transitions• audit persistence records• distributed verification metadata

Verification lineage SHALL remain immutable and cryptographically verifiable.

9. Verification Lifecycle Flow

1. Runtime Request Submission

2. Authorization Artifact Validation

3. Cryptographic Signature Verification

4. Runtime Integrity Inspection

5. Governance Synchronization Validation

6. Immutable Proof Generation

7. Fail-Closed Enforcement Validation

8. Execution Approval or Denial

9. Verification Lineage Synchronization

10. Immutable Audit Persistence
