Does a tamper-evident log prove the data was true?
On its own a tamper-evident log proves the record was not changed after it was made. The Input Gate closes the other half: it proves each input came from the source that stands behind it and arrived unaltered, and it seals that proof with the decision. A source that vouches for wrong data has put its own domain and a permanent dated record behind it, so wrong data has an owner who can be held to it.
How it works
- Seal the decision so nobody can change it afterwards (https://sebbi.pro/receipts).
- Run every input through the Input Gate first, so each one is vouched for by its own source (https://sebbi.pro/garbage-in).
- Keep the two codes together: one proves what went in, the other proves what was decided.
