CBRS-000 — The Questions Before the Answers
A charter for the work that follows.
CoreBond Research Series
Trust is a decision. What supports it?
The CoreBond Research Series examines the assumptions underneath device identity, authentication, evidence, authority, retained state, recovery, uncertainty, and continuous evaluation. This page hosts local PDFs for reliable access while preserving Zenodo DOI links as the permanent scholarly archive.
Synthesis
CBRS Bounded Trust Framework v1.2
The Bounded Trust Framework is the synthesis layer derived from CBRS-001 through CBRS-012. It is not a product proposal, protocol, implementation standard, or certification scheme. It is an analytical framework for making, using, preserving, revising, and recovering trust decisions.
Paper archive
CBRS papers
Local CoreBond-hosted PDFs are provided for reliable reading access. Zenodo remains the DOI-backed archive of record.
CBRS-001 — Actor Governance
What does the audit record actually establish?
CBRS-002 — The Device Should Not Know Its Own Identity
A provocation about persistence, privacy, recovery, and trust in device identity.
CBRS-003 — Hidden Lifecycle Cost of Device Credentials
What must remain synchronized, replaceable, recoverable, and trustworthy after authentication succeeds.
CBRS-004 — Authentication: Credential, Proof, Result, and Time
What authentication proves now, what it does not prove forever, and when a system should ask again.
CBRS-005 — Zero Trust: Decision Dependencies, Freshness, and Failure
How stale, unavailable, delayed, inconsistent, or compromised dependencies affect access decisions.
CBRS-006 — Behavior Before Identity
Why behavioral evidence can support bounded response before attribution is complete.
CBRS-007 — Authority Has a Boundary
What an authoritative output actually entitles another system to conclude.
CBRS-008 — Evidence Is Not a Verdict
Why valid evidence can still be insufficient for the decision that follows.
CBRS-009 — Memory Is Not Authority
Why persistence alone does not grant retained state continuing decision weight.
CBRS-010 — Recovery
What may be preserved, what must be broken, and what must be established again.
CBRS-011 — Uncertainty
Why qualified appraisal semantics should not vanish before the decision boundary that needs them.
CBRS-012 — Continuous Evaluation
When a trust decision is finished, and when later inheritance needs to be bounded.
Purpose of the archive
This page exists so the research remains readable even when an external repository is slow or unavailable. The local PDFs are convenience copies. The DOI links remain the permanent publication records.
