Confium Transparency

Confium Transparency is the audit-trail product: append-only Merkle trees with cryptographic inclusion proofs. Tamper-evidence is proven, not claimed.

Components

• confium-transparency — RFC 6962 Merkle tree, OTS, ERS
• confium-log-server — production log server
• confium-log-monitor — third-party monitor (witness)
• confium-log-edge — Cloudflare Workers edge verifier

Concepts

These concepts are specified in the specs repo rather than duplicated here:

• RFC 6962 inclusion & consistency proofs
• Witness gossip & fork-resistance
• OTS anchoring to Bitcoin / public chains
• Evidence Record Syntax (ERS) long-term archival

How-to

Practical recipes live in the Cookbook:

• Stand up a local transparency log
• Anchor tree heads to Bitcoin via OTS
• Run a third-party witness
• Deploy a public HTTP verify endpoint

Reference

• Rust API
• Transparency log spec
• Witness gossip spec
• OTS anchoring spec
• ERS archival spec
