Cryptographic receipt verification for AI-assisted code changes

Titan Gate

Cryptographic change control for AI-assisted software engineering.

Every code change evaluated by Titan Gate produces a signed, chained, verifiable receipt — proof that the change was reviewed, scored, and not tampered with.

Why Titan Gate

AI writes code fast. SOC2 auditors ask: how do you know what changed, who approved it, and that the record wasn't altered?

Titan Gate answers that question with cryptographic receipts — not process docs.

• Deterministic — same input always produces same receipt hash
• Chained — each receipt links to the previous via prev_receipt_hash
• Tamper-evident — HMAC-SHA256 signature detects any modification
• Auditable — receipts travel with the repo at .titan/receipts/
• SOC2-aligned — maps directly to CC6, CC7, CC8 controls

Quickstart (2 minutes)

1. Add the secret

GitHub repo → Settings → Secrets → Actions → New secret
Name:  TITAN_SIGNING_KEY
Value: <output of: python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))">

2. Add the workflow

Create .github/workflows/titan-gate.yml:

name: Titan Gate

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]

jobs:
  evaluate:
    name: Cryptographic Change Evaluation
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - uses: Rehanrana11/titan-gate@v1.0.0
        with:
          signing-key: ${{ secrets.TITAN_SIGNING_KEY }}

3. Open a PR

Every PR now gets a cryptographic receipt stored at:

.titan/receipts/{date}/{receipt_id}.json

---

Verify a Receipt

Any party with the signing key can independently verify a receipt:

python scripts/titan_verify.py .titan/receipts/2026-03-06/<receipt_id>.json \
  --key <your-signing-key>

Output:

============================================================
TITAN GATE RECEIPT VERIFICATION
============================================================
Receipt ID   : 3ae452f4-3a75-44fb-899f-cef8f0fd79b0
Tenant       : Rehanrana11
Verdict      : PASS
Score        : 0.88
------------------------------------------------------------
VERIFICATION  : PASS

============================================================

How It Works

PR opened
  → Three-judge engine evaluates (structural + semantic + policy)
  → Composite score computed
  → Verdict: PASS / WARN / FAIL
  → Receipt signed with HMAC-SHA256
  → Receipt chained via prev_receipt_hash
  → Receipt stored at .titan/receipts/{date}/{receipt_id}.json
  → Daily Merkle root sealed
  → Receipt verifiable by anyone with the key

Scoring

composite_score = weighted(structural_score, semantic_score)

PASS  >= 0.70
WARN  >= 0.40
FAIL  <  0.40

Hard violations force FAIL regardless of score.

SOC2 Controls

Control	Coverage
CC6.1	Logical access — tenant isolation on all queries
CC6.7	Change management — signed receipt on every PR
CC7.1	Anomaly detection — tamper detection raises structured anomalies
CC7.2	Monitoring — evaluation manifest records all version constants
CC8.1	Change control — PASS/WARN/FAIL gate on every PR

---

Architecture

Five cryptographic layers:

1. Three-Judge Engine — structural, semantic, policy judges
2. Receipt Chain — HMAC-SHA256, canonical JSON, prev_receipt_hash
3. Merkle Ledger — merkle_v1, daily root sealing, immutable
4. Replay Engine — byte-identical replay, zero tolerance for drift
5. Anchor Notarization — daily Merkle roots anchored to GitHub

Test Suite

python run_tests.py

Ran 555 tests in 8.3s — OK

555 tests across 11 files. Zero regressions policy.
