ATTESTOR · INTEGRATION

Satoshium Attestor Integration

Attestor Integration defines how Attestor connects to the Satoshium ecosystem by producing trust statements from authoritative records, without replacing the systems that created them.

Integration answers one fundamental question: how does certification become an attestation?

Purpose

Attestor Integration establishes the institutional boundary between authoritative records and trust statements derived from those records.

Core Distinction

Certifier certifies. Registry catalogs. Chronicle preserves history. Anchor preserves integrity. Beacon publishes discovery. Attestor produces trust statements.

Integration Philosophy

Attestor does not replace authoritative records. It references them while creating structured attestations that support future trust evaluation.

Reference-Based Design

Attestations should reference authoritative records instead of duplicating their contents. Authority remains with the originating system.

Relationship Within the Suite

Attestor integrates with every major operational component by consuming their outputs rather than recreating them.

Atlas creates intelligence.
Certifier creates certification.
Registry creates registry entries.
Chronicle creates historical events.
Anchor creates integrity references.
Beacon creates discovery signals.
Attestor creates trust statements.

Relationship to Certifier

Attestor may reference Certification Packages, SCPRs, SCRs, SCRDs, and future certification artifacts when producing attestations.

Relationship to Registry

Attestor may reference SREG Registry Entries to identify the public cataloged records supporting an attestation.

Relationship to Chronicle

Attestor may reference Chronicle events to provide historical context supporting trust statements.

Relationship to Anchor

Attestor may reference integrity records preserved by Anchor while leaving integrity preservation and verification to Anchor itself.

Relationship to Beacon

Beacon may publish discovery signals that help users locate attestations, while Attestor remains responsible for producing the trust statements those signals reference.

Beacon helps people discover. Attestor helps people evaluate.

Future Interoperability

Future Attestor implementations may support interoperable trust statements, attestation schemas, machine-readable attestations, APIs, digital signatures, policy frameworks, and verification ecosystems while preserving references to the originating authoritative records.

Authority establishes truth. Attestations express accountable trust.
