The Model State Attestation Framework

Evidence-Based Governance for Foundation Models


Three-tier architecture composing hardware-rooted trust, signed continuous internal invariant monitoring, and periodic deep verification anchors. Survey of 200+ papers (2022–2026) confirms no existing system composes these into a unified attestation artifact.

Mapped to EU AI Act, FDA SaMD, SR 11-7, US Federal Procurement, and AI Insurance. Theoretical ceilings documented honestly: Rice’s theorem, the Impossibility Sandwich, and TEE side-channel limits.
