      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document defines a profile of the SCITT (Supply Chain Integrity,
   Transparency, and Trust) architecture for creating tamper-evident
   audit trails of AI-driven algorithmic trading decisions and
   executions.  The VeritasChain Protocol (VCP) applies the SCITT
   framework to address the specific requirements of financial markets,
   including high-precision timestamps, regulatory compliance
   considerations (EU AI Act, MiFID II), and privacy-preserving
   mechanisms (crypto-shredding) compatible with GDPR.  This profile
   specifies how VCP events are encoded as SCITT Signed Statements,
   registered with Transparency Services, and verified using COSE
   Receipts.  It further defines SCITT conformance profiles for
   interoperability and an ERASURE event type that records crypto-
   shredding operations as immutable audit events.

   Changes from -02:

   *  Updated to align with VCP Specification v1.2

   *  Added SCITT Alignment Object and conformance profiles
      (Section 4.4)

   *  Added ERASURE event type recording crypto-shredding operations
      (Section 6.3)

   *  Corrected the post-quantum SignAlgo registry value from DILITHIUM3
      to DILITHIUM2 (ML-DSA, FIPS 204)

   *  PolicyID examples migrated to the Issuer Domain + Local ID naming
      convention defined in VCP v1.2
