	 <t>   Traceability of physical and digital Artifacts in supply chains is a
   long-standing, but increasingly serious security concern.  The rise
   in popularity of verifiable data structures as a mechanism to make
   actors more accountable for breaching their compliance promises has
   found some successful applications to specific use cases (such as the
   supply chain for digital certificates), but lacks a generic and
   scalable architecture that can address a wider range of use cases.

   This document defines a generic, interoperable and scalable
   architecture to enable transparency across any supply chain with
   minimum adoption barriers.  It provides flexibility, enabling
   interoperability across different implementations of Transparency
   Services with various auditing and compliance requirements.  Issuers
   can register their Signed Statements on any Transparency Service,
   with the guarantee that all Auditors and Verifiers will be able to
   verify them.
