VIII. Other Notes

Previous (#7595) This (#7651)

Certisyn has today filed specific disclosures covering draft-hillier-scitt-arp, draft-hillier-certisyn-essential-eight-verified and draft-hillier-certisyn-ai-governance-verified. This general disclosure covers draft-hillier-coverage-attestation, for which no patent application is yet on file.

Certisyn will supplement this disclosure as the position changes.

Additional notes

This disclosure updates IPR 7595, the general disclosure Certisyn, Inc. filed against draft-hillier-coverage-attestation on 1 September 2026 under RFC 8179 Section 5.1.1. 7595 recorded that an application was in preparation and undertook to file a specific disclosure identifying it once filed. The application was filed on 6 September 2026 and this disclosure identifies it.

The application named in Section V(A) contains two invention families. The family that reads on this Internet-Draft is accounted releasability: the separation of a conclusion from its evidence at a boundary, with an accounted and digest-bound withheld disposition. That is the subject matter of normative rules R3 and R4. The second family in the same application concerns credential sealing and personal identity-exposure assay and does not read on this Internet-Draft.

Certisyn, Inc. is the applicant and Joel Hillier is the sole inventor. The application is a United States provisional and has not published.
