The Reilly Government Integrity Protocol (RGIP) defines a standards-aligned method for producing permanent, independently verifiable public records by combining multi-algorithm content hashing, public blockchain anchoring via OpenTimestamps, DOI-based archival, decentralized storage, and web archiving into a single automated pipeline. This revision (01) expands the protocol to incorporate a Triple-Hash Chain architecture running SHA-256 [RFC6234], SHA3-512 [FIPS202], and BLAKE3 [BLAKE3] in parallel, bound together by a cryptographic Cross-Chain Hash at every block. RGIP introduces the REMID (Reilly EternaMark Identifier), a self- sovereign persistent identifier derived directly from artifact content, replacing reliance on externally assigned identifiers as the sole chain anchor. The protocol specifies the Evidence Receipt (ER), an expanded canonicalized metadata object binding the artifact's triple-hash fingerprint, a REMID, a DOI, an OpenTimestamps Bitcoin proof, an IPFS CID, and an Internet Archive URI. Processing steps, chain integrity procedures, autonomous verification, and post-quantum resilience properties are defined.
