Abstract:

   The Reilly Resilience Protocol (RRP) standardizes a verifiable
   method to prove that IT systems, cloud infrastructures, and AI
   pipelines are continuously exercised and resilient.  RRP transforms
   resilience claims into cryptographically signed, tamper-evident
   evidence persisted in immutable storage and batched into a daily
   Merkle root that is publicly time-anchored.  The protocol outputs
   an executive Resilience Scorecard backed by independently
   verifiable cryptographic receipts.  RRP composes with the Reilly
   EternaMark (REM) protocol to ensure dual-layer digital permanence
   using both DOI archival and blockchain timestamping.

   This document supersedes draft-reilly-resilience-protocol-01.  It
   corrects the Merkle tree construction of -01, which duplicated the
   final leaf of an odd-cardinality set and incorrectly attributed
   that construction to RFC 9162.  It further addresses the principal
   structural gap of -01, namely that the protocol proved the
   integrity of the evidence that was produced but could not prove
   that any particular evidence was ever required to exist.  This
   revision adds the Evidence Continuity Chain, the Control Coverage
   Attestation, field-level commitments with selective disclosure,
   governed autonomous remediation with blast-radius classes, hash
   and signature migration for long retention horizons, a coverage
   factor and weight renormalization rule in the scoring algorithm,
   and an implementation status section describing running code.
