Reilly Resilience Protocol (RRP): Tamper-Evident Proof of System Resilience

groupnone stateactive pages27 rev01 expires2026-09-22 canonicalhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-reilly-resilience-protocol/
The Reilly Resilience Protocol (RRP) standardizes a verifiable method to prove that IT systems, cloud infrastructures, and AI pipelines are continuously exercised and resilient. RRP transforms resilience claims into cryptographically signed, tamper-evident evidence persisted in immutable storage and batched into a daily Merkle root that is publicly time-anchored on public blockchains. The protocol outputs an executive Resilience Scorecard backed by independently verifiable cryptographic receipts. RRP composes with the Reilly EternaMark (REM) protocol to ensure dual-layer digital permanence using both DOI archival and blockchain timestamping. This document supersedes draft-reilly-resilience-protocol-00 and extends the protocol with a formal evidence schema, compliance mapping, a scoring algorithm specification, expanded threat model, implementation guidance, and key management requirements.
