ALPHA Protocol

Authority and Lawful Policy Handshake for Action. The gate that must close before any execution begins.

What it does

ALPHA evaluates policy, authority, and intent before any action. It produces a signed decision and a receipt that binds the execution to a specific policy state.

Deterministic decision

The same inputs and policy state yield the same verdict, every time.

Authority capture

Every execution is linked to explicit authority, not inference or assumption.

Receipt sealed

A cryptographic receipt records the decision, policy hash, and context.

Trace anchored

The decision becomes the root of a trace and evidence chain.

MECHANICAL GOVERNANCE

Governed execution is a closed loop. Every action is bound to a policy-ratified decision and anchored in a tamper-evident evidence pack.

THE ENFORCEMENT LOOP

Unlike traditional logging, Keon's governance is pre-emptive. The ALPHA Protocol provides the cryptographic gate that must close before any system action (Federation) is allowed to begin. The resulting Evidence Pack contains not just what happened, but the exact policy state and authority that mandated it.
