Trust Model
PAR is designed as an independent proof layer: it does not replace the authority that issues or preserves the original data.
Neutrality & Non-Custodial
Neutrality
Separation between proof infrastructure and the competent authority.
Non-Custodial
Proof can be preserved without turning PAR into a universal document repository.
Governance
Governance distinguishes technology ownership, operations, standardization, territorial nodes and competent authorities while preserving framework interoperability.
Security & Privacy
Minimization of stored content, access control, separation of roles and verifiability are structural principles of the model.
Audit & Continuity
Records, relationships and status changes are designed for subsequent verification, audit and reconstruction of the evidentiary chain.
Dispute, Suspension & Revocation
Proof status may reflect disputes, revocations, suspensions or changes without erasing the preceding evidentiary history.
Sovereign & Local Interoperability
The architecture can support local or sovereign nodes with territorial governance and compliance while maintaining controlled interoperability with the PAR standard.
