ATBAE · Verification Checkpoint

Verify a seal.

Use this checkpoint to verify a signed ATBAE report — for anyone, free, forever. Research, development and demonstration reports may be unsigned; an unsigned report is not a seal. Verification is never charged and never metered; regulators and auditors are the reason the instrument exists.

Tamper Warning. A seal acts as a strict cryptographic commitment to exact bytes. Altering a report inherently invalidates its seal. The deliberate submission of altered, fabricated, or mathematically compromised seals to this checkpoint is permanently logged, constitutes a direct violation of our Terms, and may be referred to regulatory authorities. A good-faith submission is different: if you present a seal in honest belief and the artifact proves altered or mismatched, that is a verification finding — the response will say the bytes do not match, and no bad faith is attributed to you. If a seal fails, the artifact is rejected—the instrument remains sound.
Your identity is authenticated, not harvested. Every request requires declaring the requester and the principal; these details are subject to strict verification before any records are released. We do not disclose your inquiry to the commissioning client unless they have enabled Verification Transparency. Should a regulator lawfully direct us to withhold notice—we comply unconditionally.
Independent key channel. Every ATBAE manifest carries two signatures — classical Ed25519 and post-quantum ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204). Both fingerprints are published here — on this website, separate from any signed package — so they never travel solely inside the document they authenticate:
Current signing station (v3, from 2026-09-03):

A signature whose fingerprint matches neither this page's current pair nor — for artifacts sealed before a transition's effective date — the pair that preceded it is not ours, whatever the package claims. Both transitions are on the public record as signed notices: 2026-09-02 (precautionary custody hardening, hybrid-signed by the retiring keys) and 2026-09-03 (v2 passphrases rendered unrecoverable during hardening — no compromise; the notice is signed by the incoming v3 pair and recorded in the revocation registry as a non-revoking key_retired entry). The signed transition notices are available on request through this checkpoint. Retirement is not revocation: a retired key cannot seal new artifacts, but historical artifacts remain valid under the pair that sealed them, permanently — a retired key is never treated as revoked for the artifacts it sealed within its validity window. Manifests sealed before 2026-08-31 carry the classical signature only and verify as such — honestly labeled, never silently upgraded. One honesty note: both signatures issue from a single signing station — algorithmic diversity guards against a break of either algorithm, not against compromise of the station itself. That residual risk is managed by operational separation and human gating, and is stated here rather than implied away. These same fingerprints are additionally published on channels independent of this website — in DNS at _atbae-keys.atbae.ai (TXT record) and as a pinned post at atbae.substack.com — so a compromise of this website alone cannot substitute keys.
What the seal is

Every examination concludes with a sealed report: an immutable artifact bundle whose contents are cryptographically fingerprinted (SHA-256) and catalogued in a signed manifest. Alter a single byte of any constituent file, and the cryptographic verification fails. Each manifest carries two independent signatures issued by our signing station — classical Ed25519 and post-quantum ML-DSA-65. To defend against cryptographic downgrade attacks, a manifest sealed under the current scheme requires both signatures: omitting, stripping, or invalidating either one fails verification — neither may be stripped. Manifests sealed before 2026-08-31 carry the classical signature only and verify as legacy single-signed records, honestly labeled — eligibility for legacy status is determined from the signed manifest's own declared signature policy: only a manifest carrying no post-quantum signer identity at all may verify classical-only, and a manifest that declares one fails verification if either signature is missing or invalid. The manifest is independently time-stamped by an RFC 3161 Trusted Timestamp Authority: the timestamp attests that the signed digest existed no later than the stated time — a datum-of-existence proof, bounded by the timestamp authority's own integrity, not a statement about what happened before or after. That verified anchor, never a date printed in the report body, is the signing time enforced against the registered key's published validity window; within the authority's attestation, the chronological baseline cannot be backdated or postdated by us.

What the seal proves — and what it does not

It proves byte-level integrity and attested origin: our signing station attests, under its keys and at the stated timestamp, that these exact bytes are what the examination produced — a signature proves that we signed these bytes; the provenance claim rests on that attestation and on the report's own signed evidence chain, which records how the examination was conducted. It does not act as an endorsement, a warranty, or a guarantee of future model behaviour — signatures attest the integrity of the record; the empirical evidence speaks for itself. Verification is free, permanent, and unmetered; inquiries are strictly authenticated, never anonymous, and we never disclose who checked to the commissioning client unless that client explicitly elected Verification Transparency.

How to verify

Submit the seal string through the form below, or transmit it directly to our intake. A seal-string lookup establishes that a seal exists, the subject it was issued for, and whether it stands — it does not, by itself, authenticate a document in your hands. Byte-level authenticity requires the artifact itself, or its SHA-256 digest, checked against the signed manifest: a genuine seal string attached to an altered file is a mismatch, and the response will say so. We verify the signature chain, record date, and subject identifier against the active revocation registry; if current revocation status cannot be established at answer time, the response is status unknown — never clean. Before trusting any signed report, independently confirm our public signing-key fingerprints against the canonical keys published on this page and in the transmittal cover note.

Standard disclosure · general requestors

Authenticity, nothing more.

A basic verification returns only:

  • whether the seal is genuine,
  • the examination date(s),
  • the subject model identifier recorded at firing.

It never returns results, grades, or findings.

Every verification is additionally checked against our signed, append-only revocation & supersession list: a cryptographically genuine seal on a revoked or superseded report is reported as revoked / superseded — never as clean. Verdicts issued from v3.0.0 onward are version-stamped so a report can always be matched to the doctrine it was examined under; the current adopted doctrine is v3.3.0 (adopted 2026-09-08); historical reports retain their original version stamps, and the v3.3.0 delivery rehearsal is pending completion.

The record, for those with standing.

After manual credential verification, a regulatory agency or government body may additionally receive:

  • the examination outcome,
  • the commissioning party,
  • the scope of examination.
Free · days, not hours · no fixed turnaround
I · The seal
The seal appears on the report's sealing page. Copy it whole; a single altered character is a failed verification by design.
A seal-string lookup confirms a seal exists and stands; byte-level authenticity of a document in your hands requires comparing its digest against the signed manifest. On Windows: certutil -hashfile report.pdf SHA256; on macOS/Linux: shasum -a 256 report.pdf. Paste the 64-character result here and we check it against the manifest — a genuine seal over altered bytes is reported as a mismatch, never as clean.
II · Who is asking
III · Are you a regulatory agency or government body?
How extended verification works. Credential checks are manual and take days, not hours — we publish no fixed turnaround, because each request is verified individually. We will require: 1) a written request on official government letterhead, sent by postal mail, bearing verifiable phone, email, and postal addresses; 2) an email address on the agency's official domain; 3) an independent callback through the agency's published switchboard to confirm the request and the requestor; 4) where warranted, confirmation through the agency's human-resources or administrative office that the requestor is who they claim to be. Falsely claiming regulatory status is unlawful in many jurisdictions and will be reported.

Pressing this prepares your complete request on this machine and shows it below, attempts to download a dated copy for your records, and may open your email application with a draft addressed to us. If that draft is shortened, paste the complete request from below — or manually attach the downloaded copy — before sending. Nothing is sent until you press send in your own client. This page stores nothing and transmits nothing on its own — your email is the channel, and verification itself is free.

Request composed

Your verification request is ready.

If your email client opened, it now holds a draft addressed to contact@pinnacleglobal.pro — this page cannot confirm that; please check. If nothing opened, copy the full text below into an email to that address yourself. If the draft's body carries a "CUT SHORT" notice at the top, paste the complete text from below (or attach the downloaded file, if a copy downloaded) before sending. If a dated copy downloaded to your machine, keep it as your record; this page cannot confirm the download, so please check. Nothing is sent until you press send in your own client. Basic verifications are answered by return correspondence; extended regulatory verifications proceed only after the credential checks described above — days, not hours.
