The protocol section specifies the message flow between actors, the lifecycle of a sealed reserve unit, the cryptographic primitives, and the optional zero-knowledge integration. Every page in this section names its assumptions, what it proves, and what it does not.
Protocol
The CPHAR attestation flow — actors, lifecycle, seal attestation, reserve claims, ZK integration, and revocation.
Protocol Lifecycle
The six states of a CPHAR-sealed reserve unit, from manufacture to breakage or retirement.
DraftSeal Attestation
How a CPHAR-compatible cryptographic seal proves that a physical reserve unit remains intact under defined tamper assumptions.
DraftReserve Claims
How CPHAR composes individual seal attestations into auditable claims about reserve totals, including the no-double-counting construction.
DraftZK Integration
How zero-knowledge proofs can aggregate CPHAR seal attestations into selective-disclosure reserve claims.
