The evidence journal
Every decision recorded, chained and timestamped, so you can show what you did and when.
Under Evidence journal, every decision you record is kept in order: products added and changed, releases uploaded, vulnerabilities assessed, reporting cases opened and reports marked as submitted, exercises, policies written, documents reviewed, advisories published.
Why it can be trusted
- Each entry carries the hash of the one before it (SHA-256): changing or removing an entry breaks the chain.
- Once a day, the latest hash is timestamped by an outside authority (RFC 3161), which proves the journal existed in that state at that date.
- Export the journal (JSON) gives you the whole chain. The open-source command
provetry verify-journalchecks it on your own computer, timestamps included.
What it is for
If a market surveillance authority asks what you did about a vulnerability and when, the journal answers with dates that you could not have changed afterwards.
