Abstract:

   Signature verification answers whether a key produced an artifact.
   It does not answer why a relying party accepts that key, or whether
   the key holder had authority for the action.  This document specifies
   two composable artifacts.  An Authority Document introduces and
   rotates an organization's evidence-issuing keys through a signed,
   hash-chained sequence.  A Scoped Authority Proof records the
   authority held by a subject at a registry snapshot, including role,
   action scope, material limits, policy binding, validity, and
   revocation status.  A relying party evaluates both artifacts under
   its own pinned trust inputs and policy.  The design does not make a
   self-presented key authoritative, does not turn log inclusion or
   domain control into automatic trust, and does not equate a valid
   signature with permission to act.
