TIP is built on NIST post-quantum cryptographic primitives: ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203), ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204), and SLH-DSA (FIPS 205). The protocol covers three layers: TIP-ID for verified human identity, TIP-CONTENT for content provenance via the Canonical Normalization Algorithm 2.2 (CNA-2.2), and TIP-TRUST for reputation scoring across federated DAG nodes. The protocol is open under CC BY 4.0. The reference implementation is licensed TIPCL-1.0 with automatic conversion to Apache 2.0 on January 1, 2031. Compatible by design with EU AI Act Article 50 (enforceable August 2, 2026), the Colorado AI Act, India IT Act amendments, and analogous frameworks in China, Japan, Korea, and Australia.
