Architectural Structure

VTI Frame defines the canonical relationships between trust-state generation, authorization outcomes, enforcement, and verification.

Core Architectural Principles

• Canonical trust-state representation
• Explicit, bounded authorization evidence
• Cryptographic integrity and lineage preservation
• Independent verification without issuer access

Separation of Concerns

Systems that generate trust-state, enforce authorization, and verify evidence are architecturally separated. No component requires implicit trust in another system’s runtime behavior.

Cross-Domain Evaluation

Evidence structured within the Frame may be evaluated across organizational, technical, and jurisdictional boundaries without re-issuance or reinterpretation.
