Cryptographic Attestation & Verification Model (CAVM)

NeuroCP implements a new cryptographic verification layer that confirms the origin, accuracy, and trustworthiness of outputs created by decentralized agents. It uses a combination of digital signatures, zero-knowledge proofs, and deterministic context states to ensure each result is verifiable—without needing any central authority.

1. Formal Representation of NeuroCP Model State

Let a NeuroCP Agent be defined by a deterministic function

fθ:XYf_\theta : X \to Y

where (X) is the input space, (Y) the output space, and (\theta \in \mathbb{R}^n) the fixed model parameters.

To cryptographically bind an output to a specific model instance, derive a state commitment using a collision-resistant hash function (H):

C=H(fθθm)C = H(f_\theta \| \theta \| m)

where (m) is the input message or prompt, and (|) denotes byte-level concatenation.

  1. Attestation Signature Scheme

Each agent instance is initialized with a public-private key pair ((pk, sk)). Upon producing output

y=fθ(m)y = f_\theta(m)

the agent signs the tuple ((m, y, C)) with a digital signature algorithm such as EdDSA:

σ=Signsk(m,y,C)\sigma = \text{Sign}_{sk}(m, y, C)

The attestation package ((m, y, C, \sigma, pk)) can be independently verified:

Verifypk(m,y,C,σ)=true\text{Verify}_{pk}(m, y, C, \sigma) = \text{true}

3. Deterministic Output Verification

To ensure deterministic outputs, NeuroCP uses seed-locked generation:

y=fθ(m;s)y = f_\theta(m; s)

where (s) is a shared PRNG seed. This guarantees that the same input and seed always produce the same output:

fθ(m1;s)=fθ(m2;s)    m1=m2f_\theta(m_1; s) = f_\theta(m_2; s) \implies m_1 = m_2

The seed is also included in the attestation hash:

C=H(fθθms)C = H(f_\theta \| \theta \| m \| s)

4. Zero-Knowledge Proof of Execution

For sensitive models, NeuroCP optionally supports zk-SNARK attestation, where a prover generates a succinct proof (\pi):

π=Prove(Rf,m,y)\pi = \text{Prove}(R_f, m, y)

with (R_f) encoding the execution of (f_\theta). Verification is performed as:

VerifyZK(π,m,y)=true\text{Verify}_{ZK}(\pi, m, y) = \text{true}

This allows trusting model outputs without revealing model internals.

5. Blockchain Anchoring

NeuroCP commits attestation hashes periodically to a smart contract on Ethereum:

SubmitAttestation(C,t)on-chain\text{SubmitAttestation}(C, t) \to \text{on-chain}

where (t) is a timestamp or block height, creating an immutable log of responses.

6. Security Assumptions

NeuroCP’s security relies on:

  • Collision resistance of hash function (H)

  • Unforgeability of the signature scheme under UF-CMA

  • Soundness and completeness of zk-SNARK protocol

  • Determinism of (f_\theta) under fixed seeds

Together, these guarantee cryptographic binding of outputs to specific models and inputs, enabling trustless AI verification.
