Terminology dictionary

TermDefinition
Archive ObjectA data unit registered for preservation.
Evidence RecordCryptographic evidence bound to one or more data objects.
Archive Time-StampA timestamp plus the hash-tree context needed to bind data.
Archive Time-Stamp ChainOrdered archive timestamps connected through timestamp renewal.
Archive Time-Stamp SequenceOrdered chains whose evolution includes hash-tree renewal.
Reduced Hash TreeThe sibling digest values needed to reconstruct a root for selected data.
Timestamp RenewalA renewal that protects preceding timestamp evidence while the data hash remains suitable.
Hash-Tree RenewalA renewal that reprocesses archived data and prior evidence with a secure digest.
Time-Stamp TokenA signed TSA token binding a digest to trusted time.
Message ImprintThe algorithm identifier and digest submitted to the TSA.
NonceRequest context used to correlate a timestamp response when present.
Archive PolicyIdentified preservation and access rules applying to archived objects.
LTANS ProfileA versioned selection of policy, TSA, syntax and storage settings.
Archival PeriodThe agreed time or event-based period of preservation.
RetentionRules controlling how long an object remains preserved.
Legal HoldAn authorized restriction blocking disposition within a case scope.
Controlled DispositionApproved removal after retention, hold and storage-lock checks.
Deposit AcknowledgementAcceptance evidence that does not assert evidence generation has finished.
Archive GroupA set of related objects preserved with an explicit grouping context.
MetadataDescriptive information supporting retrieval and interpretation.
ReferenceAn identifier or locator whose possession alone does not grant access.
Data CustodyAllocation of payload, evidence and access responsibilities.
Provider-ManagedCustody where the provider retains agreed payload and evidence.
Customer-ManagedCustody where the customer retains the payload or storage control.
Bring Your Own StorageCustomer-controlled storage connected under durable access terms.
Hash-OnlyA model retaining digests while original data remains externally held.
External ReferenceA locator pointing to data whose availability needs separate assurance.
Original DataThe exact bytes whose integrity the evidence protects.
PayloadThe archived content as distinct from its evidence and metadata.
Evidence VersionAn immutable revision linked to the preceding preservation history.
Validation MaterialCertificates, revocation data and context required for verification.
Trust AnchorA verifier-selected trusted certificate or key for path evaluation.
Trust ContextVersioned trust inputs, validation time and governing policy.
Certificate PathThe certification chain evaluated under the selected trust policy.
Certificate StatusA status result whose source and freshness must be evaluated.
RevocationWithdrawal of certificate validity under issuer rules.
Verification ReportRecorded check outcomes and reasons for a specific data/evidence pair.
IndeterminateAn outcome where available material cannot establish validity or invalidity.
Algorithm SuitabilityAssessment of a cryptographic algorithm for a preservation horizon.
Crypto-AgilityThe ability to change cryptographic mechanisms through governed renewal.
DigestThe fixed-length output of a specified hash algorithm.
Hash TreeA structure aggregating data digests into a timestamped root.
Root HashThe top digest authenticating a hash tree.
CanonicalizationDefined processing that produces a deterministic representation.
Cryptographic InformationAlgorithm and validation context accompanying preservation evidence.
Supporting InformationAdditional material used to interpret or validate evidence.
Policy HistoryThe policy versions applicable over an object lifetime.
AuthenticationEstablishing the identity of a requesting principal.
AuthorizationDeciding whether an authenticated principal may act on an object.
Tenant IsolationControls separating one tenant's data and access from another.
Least PrivilegeGranting only the permissions needed for an assigned task.
Dual ControlRequiring separate authorized actors for sensitive decisions.
Privileged AccessElevated access subject to additional approval and auditing.
Service AccountA non-human identity for scoped machine integration.
IdempotencyEnsuring a retried command does not create duplicate effects.
Correlation IDAn identifier linking requests, jobs, events and audit records.
Request IDAn identifier for one individual request attempt.
Async JobA durable resource tracking deferred execution and its result.
RetryA bounded repeated attempt governed by error type and backoff.
BackoffIncreasing delay between retry attempts to reduce overload.
Dead Letter QueueA quarantine destination for messages requiring investigation.
ReplayAuthorized reprocessing of a retained event with duplicate protection.
OutboxA store committing outgoing events with the business transaction.
InboxA receiver-side record used to deduplicate event processing.
Domain EventA versioned statement of a completed domain fact.
WebhookAn outbound event notification to a registered HTTPS consumer.
Ordering ScopeThe aggregate boundary within which event order is preserved.
SchemaMachine-readable constraints for a contract object.
Error CodeA stable machine identifier for a specific failure category.
Rate LimitA deployment-agreed bound on request frequency.
Export PackageA portable collection of payload, evidence and contextual material.
ManifestAn inventory identifying package entries and integrity values.
TransferMovement of preservation responsibility with recipient verification.
Provider ExitA governed transition retaining evidence continuity beyond a provider relationship.
PortabilityThe ability to export and interpret preserved data outside a provider.
ReconciliationComparing independent records to identify missing or duplicate outcomes.
CheckpointA durable point from which interrupted work can safely resume.
BackupA recovery copy requiring restoration and consistency checks.
Disaster RecoveryProcedures restoring service and verifying data after disruption.
Business ContinuityPlans maintaining agreed critical activities during disruption.
Evidence ContinuityPreserving verifiable evidence history through changes and recovery.
Data ResidencyThe agreed geographic locations of payload, evidence and copies.
Encryption at RestEncryption protecting stored data under a governed key lifecycle.
Encryption in TransitTransport protection for data crossing service boundaries.
Key RotationReplacing active keys while retaining required decryption access.
Key DestructionIrreversible removal that may affect future access and renewal.
Object LockStorage enforcement preventing modification or deletion under retention rules.
Immutable StorageStorage controls restricting changes; evidence maintenance remains separate.
Audit RecordA record of an actor's action and decision context.
Transaction LogRecords of service requests, processing outcomes and correlation context.
Archived Log BatchA sealed set of log records preserved as an archive object.
ObservabilityLogs, metrics and traces used to understand system behavior.
