Halo Record

Openness

5 high confidence

5.0

license: Apache-2.0(OSI)
source: public
core features withheld: no

Recorder, verifier, witness client and report server are all in the Apache-2.0 repository, and the project states that the record format is open and free to implement. The author plans to fund it with a hosted witness service, which is offered beside the code rather than carved out of it.

Capability

4 medium confidence

4.0

Anyone holding a checkpoint can confirm the records behind it were never altered, without trusting whoever produced them. The records still describe what the operator's recorder saw, so they fall a step short of NVIDIA's hardware attestation of the execution itself.

"Any party holding a checkpoint of the chain can verify the records behind it were never altered, without trusting whoever produced them"; the chain alone "is tamper-evident against everyone except the party operating the recorder"
