Open Trust Infrastructure

Signed, independently verifiable data can preserve trust across system boundaries.

Data loses its verifiable context every time it crosses an API, a pipeline, or a model. Open Trust Infrastructure is the open technical work behind portable data integrity and provenance, so trust does not stop at a system boundary.

Why portable trust matters

When data moves between systems, the ability to prove what it is, where it came from, and that it has not changed usually gets left behind. That gap is where fraud and error hide.

The open work behind it

This section explains the open protocol and tooling for signed, independently verifiable data.

• MSD Protocol: the open protocol for signed, verifiable structured data.

• MSD SDK & Network: the tooling and optional trust services that support it.

Open maturity, stated honestly

Open-source components are described with realistic maturity labels, kept clearly separate from Staple's commercial platform. We link to the protocol property rather than restating its full documentation here.

• Current maturity status for open components.
