Abstract:

   A response served by an inference provider carries no verifiable
   statement of what produced it.  A recipient cannot determine which
   model generated a given output, nor whether the endpoint that served
   it was authorized by the party whose name is on it.  Attribution
   today rests on the serving party's own account of events, offered
   after the fact and at its own discretion.

   This document specifies two mechanisms that together make that
   determination decidable by a recipient.  The Provenance Seal is a
   detached signature by which a provider binds a model identifier, its
   own identity, and a timestamp to the exact bytes of a served
   response.  The Serving Register is a signed document listing, for
   each provider, the endpoints authorized to serve its models, the
   public keys that validate its seals, and whether the provider
   declares that it seals every response.  A DNS record under the
   provider's own domain binds that domain to its register entry and to
   its declared sealing policy, so that a suppressed seal is detectable
   rather than merely absent.

   The design follows electronic mail authentication: the seal is
   patterned on DKIM, the register on SPF, and the declared sealing
   policy on the published policy record of DMARC.
