Proof · v3.6.0 · Aug 8, 2026

Detection claims need receipts. Three components turn claims into evidence.

Every Pipelock detection claim is backed by an open corpus you can re-run, signed rules you can verify, and Ed25519-signed reports your auditor can keep. No marketing assertions. No closed-source vendor box. Run it yourself.

Recorded decisions

Watch a secret get stopped

Real requests agents made, replayed. Each scene runs twice: first with nothing in the path, then through Pipelock. Recorded with Pipelock v3.3.0, Aug 5, 2026. Signed, so you can check every one.

Blocked: secret exfiltration over a URL

The escape

A bare agent puts a credential in a query parameter and the value escapes to the collector.

The block

Pipelock's DLP layer detects the credential shape in the URL before any DNS resolution and blocks the request. The signed receipt records the block; the value never leaves.

https://collector.example.com/collect?token=[redacted-value]

The receipt

The decision is signed by the mediator. The shipped verifier checks the signature offline; a receipt that was altered after signing fails the check.

Not everything is blocked: the same recording shows a safe read to a read-only lab documentation endpoint passing, and that allow decision is signed too.

Signed bundles verified at install time. pipelock rules verify checks signatures against your trusted keyring.

One flipped byte is fatal. Run 2026-08-24 against a copy of the installed bundle:

$ pipelock rules verify
OK    pipelock-community (signature OK)

All 1 bundle(s) verified.

# flip ONE byte in bundle.yaml, then verify again:
$ pipelock rules verify
FAIL  pipelock-community: integrity check: bundle signature: no matching signer found
1 bundle(s) failed verification

The trust model is public: which key signs what, and what a failed check refuses to load. Install flow + trust model.

Ed25519-signed bundles are tamper-evident. Demo bundles verify against the Pipelock demo key; customer bundles verify against the deployment's pinned key.
Offline by design. No phone home, no telemetry, no third-party verification service.

Cryptographic anchors

What is signed

Three surfaces, three trust anchors: official rules key, Pipelock demo/report key, and customer deployment key.

Rules bundles

Each YAML bundle is signed at publish time. pipelock rules verify checks the signature against your trusted keyring before load. A tampered bundle fails to load and the proxy keeps the previous state.

official rules key · 70b991eb…79f6c63e

Action receipts

Every block decision can emit a signed action receipt. The receipt is short-form (verdict, layer, classes detected, redaction class counts), and the signature is verifiable against the deployment's pinned public key. Public Pipelock demo receipts use the Pipelock demo key.

pipelock demo key · 91dfb238…12eb755a

Assess reports

pipelock assess writes a hash-chained bundle with Ed25519 signatures over each section. Auditors verify with pipelock assess verify using the trusted public key. No network call.

customer deployment key · pinned per deployment

Verify yourself

$ pipelock rules verify
$ pipelock assess verify ./assessment-a1b2c3d4/
$ pipelock verify-receipt ./receipt.json --key 70b991eb77816fc4ef0ae6a54d8a4119ddc5a16c9711c332c39e743079f6c63e

The key above is the official rules signing key, not a universal receipt key. Rules verify against the official key, public demo reports verify against the Pipelock demo key, and customer receipts verify against the deployment's pinned key.
