🛡 Open Integrity Project: Cryptographic Roots of Trust for Open Source Development

The Open Integrity Project integrates cryptographic trust mechanisms into Git repositories, enabling them to serve as cryptographic roots of trust to ensure verifiable chains of integrity, provenance, and authorship. By leveraging Git's native SSH-based signing capabilities and structured verification processes, Open Integrity ensures transparency and immutability for software projects without requiring modifications to Git itself.

🎯 Project Goals

Immutable Proof-of-Origin – Verify the authenticity of software artifacts
Signed Commits & Tags – Ensure authorship integrity through SSH signatures (~128-bit security)
Tamper Detection – Maintain verifiable repository history
Trust Delegation – Enable controlled transition from inception key to authorized signers
Platform-Agnostic Validation – Work across GitHub, GitLab, and self-hosted solutions
