9B REVOCATION REGISTRY · ARCHITECTURE LIVE · ROOTS PENDING CEREMONIES

Four-root no-cascade revocation registry.

When a signing root rotates, sunsets, or is emergency-revoked, the event is recorded in an append-only log. Verifiers consult the registry to surface key status; customer mirrors retain the full history independent of H33's continued operations.

What owns this page

The revocation registry governs the signing roots behind H33-74, which produces the 74-byte attestation these roots sign. This page is the revocation surface for that primitive — not a separate product.

Purpose: let any verifier check whether a signing root is still valid, and let customers mirror that status independently of H33.

Invariants (architecture LOCKED v0.2)

The four roots

R3 · 3-Year Rotation

Release Signing

AWAITING CEREMONY

Signs h33-verify binary releases. Closes the unsigned-checksum gap on /downloads/.

R1 · 5-Year Rotation

Commercial Attestation

AWAITING CEREMONY

Signs Commercial-profile attestation outputs: TDA, Submission, Bundle. The trust anchor for the H33 thesis.

R4 · 1-Year Rotation

PQ Envelope

AWAITING CEREMONY

Signs H33-PQ-1 envelopes on API delivery. Per-message provenance + replay detection.

R2 · 5-Year Rotation

Federal Attestation

AWAITING CEREMONY

H33-operated Federal-profile reference signatures (CNSA 2.0 aligned). Federal CUSTOMER keys remain customer-held.

Machine-readable surface

/revocation/index.json — registry root index. Lists the four H33-owned roots, the no-cascade invariant, the records-forever discipline, and per-root activation status.

/revocation/schema/log-entry.schema.json — JSON Schema for log entries. Validates registration, sunset, revocation, and reinstatement events.

Activation timing: when an R<n> ceremony completes, the corresponding /revocation/r<n>-…/log.json is populated with a registration event within 24 hours per the ceremony execution packet §9. The activation status in /revocation/index.json migrates from AWAITING_CEREMONY to OPERATIONAL automatically.

This registry uses — it does not redefine — its neighboring primitives: the roots sign attestations produced by H33-74, the underlying key custody is held by H33-Key, and revocation status is consumed at check time by Verification. Standards such as CNSA 2.0 are referenced, not owned.
