Primes¶

Attestation
- The construct also clarifies the trust anchor as the recurring weak point in every substrate — forged seals, compromised notaries, certificate-authority breaches, citation-ring abuses, audit-firm conflicts
  This sourceDocuments certificate-authority trust-anchor structure and the cascading failures when a CA — the anchor — is compromised.
  
  Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
  
  The abstract documents certificate-authority trust-anchor structure, but says nothing of the other four substrates or of CA compromise as a recurring weak point.
  
  “We investigate the trust relationships among root authorities, intermediate authorities, and the leaf certificates used by web servers, ultimately identifying and classifying more than 1,800 entities that are able to issue certificates vouching for the identity of any website.”
  From the publisher's abstract.

Verification¶

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
