K-Veritas
Open Verification Protocol

The Science of
Certainty.

K-Veritas is an open protocol that produces cryptographically signed reports certifying the authenticity of computational experiment results without accessing training data.

Mission

K-Veritas is an open product that produces cryptographically signed reports certifying the authenticity of machine learning experiment results without accessing training data.

Why Now

Research output is scaling faster than trust infrastructure. Reviewers, funders, and partners need independent evidence that published results match what was actually executed.

01The Initiative

What We Build

01

Experiment Verification

Wrap an ML experiment to produce a cryptographically signed, tamper-evident PDF that binds a published result to the exact code, hardware, and time that produced it. Includes source-code integrity, a source bundle, and the HMCA consistency analyzer.

02

Compute-Cost Attestation

Prove the declared training work was physically performed on the reported hardware. K-Veritas checks the declared FLOPs against three physical bounds, time, energy, and memory, so a hard violation is a non-deniable physical impossibility.

03

Agent Non-Repudiation

Record a tamper-evident, hash-chained log of an AI agent's actions. A chokepoint records every designated action before it takes effect, so no party can later deny or alter what an agent did, with guarantees of existence, content, and order.

02The Workflow

How It Works

From experiment to verified submission in four steps.

1

Run Experiments

Prefix your training commands with kveritas run. Your code runs exactly as before.

2

Seal the Report

Metrics, hardware data, and source hashes are collected and signed with a key only the server holds.

3

Submit with Paper

Attach the signed PDF alongside your paper and optionally the source code bundle.

4

Reviewer Verifies

Upload to the web verifier for instant crypto status, metrics, and consistency checks.

03The Method

Our Approach

Observers capture execution metadata from computational experiments without accessing proprietary input data. Each report is sealed through cryptographic signing and remains verifiable by any external party.

Research facility
04Current Strategic Focus

Standardization

Strengthen open protocol requirements and public verification tooling.

Adoption

Expand pilots across varied computational domains and software ecosystems.

Governance

Independent oversight with open community participation and no investment-based control.

What is written in the paper should be what was truly gotten from the experiments.
