Digital
Public Goods.
Build verifiable government services, transparent procurement processes, and auditable public records with cryptographic attestations that citizens and oversight bodies can trust.
Why Governments Need Verifiable Infrastructure
Public trust depends on accountability. When government agencies issue permits, certifications, and procurement decisions, there should be a way for citizens, auditors, and oversight bodies to independently verify that those records are authentic and haven't been altered.
Transparency
for Public Accountability
Every attestation issued by a government body is recorded in a tamper-evident transparency log. Oversight bodies and the public can independently verify that records haven't been altered.
Efficiency
for Service Delivery
Replace manual document verification with instant cryptographic checks. Permits, licenses, and certifications that used to take weeks to verify can be confirmed in seconds.
Integrity
for Procurement
Create auditable records for every stage of a procurement cycle — from bid submission to contract award. Tamper-evident logging ensures that the process is defensible under scrutiny.
Government Use Cases
Truthlocks enables government agencies to issue verifiable attestations for permits, procurement decisions, professional licenses, and public records.
Transparent Procurement
Create tamper-evident audit trails for public procurement cycles. Every bid submission, evaluation decision, and contract award is recorded in the transparency log — defensible under FOIA requests and public scrutiny.
Verifiable Permits & Licenses
Issue building permits, business licenses, and regulatory approvals as cryptographic attestations. Citizens and inspectors verify permit validity instantly via QR code or attestation ID.
Professional Credentialing
Government licensing boards issue verifiable attestations for professionals — from teachers and social workers to engineers and contractors. Employers and agencies verify credentials in seconds.
Regulatory Inspections
Record inspection results as cryptographic attestations. Businesses receive verifiable proof of compliance that they can share with partners, insurers, and other government agencies.
Public Records Integrity
Anchor public records — from court filings to property registrations — in the transparency log. Citizens can verify that official records haven't been tampered with after issuance.
Inter-Agency Verification
Enable government agencies to verify attestations issued by other agencies without building point-to-point integrations. A single verification infrastructure serves multiple departments.
Data Sovereignty
by Design.
Government data requires the highest level of control over where it is stored and processed. Truthlocks is designed to respect data sovereignty requirements at every level.
Regional Deployment
Truthlocks infrastructure runs on AWS with region selection available. Government customers can specify which AWS region their data is processed in to satisfy data residency requirements.
On-Premise Option
For agencies that require maximum control, Truthlocks offers on-premise deployment options on the Institutional plan. Deploy within your own infrastructure or sovereign cloud environment.
Immutable Audit Logs
Every administrative action — attestation issuance, status change, key rotation, team modification — is recorded in a SHA-256 integrity-chained audit log. Tamper-evident and exportable for oversight.
Encryption at Rest & In Transit
All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.2+. Signing keys are managed through the Key Governance system with full lifecycle tracking.
Compliance Framework Alignment
Truthlocks' RBAC, audit logging, and key governance capabilities align with the access control and record-keeping requirements of major compliance frameworks.
SOC 2
Access control, monitoring, audit logging
Tamper-evident audit trails, role-based access control, and key lifecycle management satisfy SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria for security and availability.
GDPR
Data protection, right to access
Data minimization by design — Truthlocks processes attestation metadata, not personal data. Audit logs track who accessed what and when.
FISMA
Federal information security
Encryption, access controls, continuous monitoring, and incident response capabilities align with NIST 800-53 controls referenced by FISMA.
ISO 27001
Information security management
A.9 Access Control, A.10 Cryptography, A.12 Operations Security — the platform's security controls map to ISO 27001 Annex A requirements.
How It Works for Government
A typical government deployment follows three phases.
Phase 01
Set Up Your Organization
Create your agency's Truthlocks account, configure team roles (Owner, Admin, Operator, Viewer), and set up issuers for each department or service. API keys are scoped to specific permissions.
Phase 02
Issue Attestations
Start issuing verifiable attestations for permits, licenses, inspection results, or procurement decisions. Use the Console for manual issuance or integrate the API into existing government systems.
Phase 03
Enable Public Verification
Citizens, businesses, and oversight bodies verify attestations at verify.truthlocks.com or via QR code. Every verification is recorded in the audit log for accountability.
Build Transparent
Digital Public Services.
Replace paper-based processes with cryptographic proof that citizens, auditors, and oversight bodies can independently verify.
