Identity and proof verification gateway
Verify is the verification gateway of the HBCE system.
It exposes two complementary surfaces:
Public verification checks the visible state of an IPR identity object.
Technical verification reproduces deterministic proof through exact byte hashing and strict PASS / FAIL logic.
Missing, invalid, or non-reproducible states are treated as failure by design.
Public IPR verification
This surface is designed for readable identity-state checks. Insert an IPR identifier and inspect the visible result. In the MVP, this page performs a strict local-format check and returns a visible state response.
IPR identifier
Insert an IPR ID in canonical format. Example: IPR-USER-002341
Visible identity state
Public verification returns a readable state. Missing or invalid identifiers are treated as failure.
Position in the system
Verification is not a standalone utility. It is the reconstruction layer of the HBCE system: identity establishes attributable state, registry exposes public proof, and verification reproduces deterministic comparison or visible identity status.

PUBLIC PROOF / EXPECTED CONDITION

VALID / FAIL
Technical deterministic verification
Paste the local release content exactly as stored and compare it against the expected public hash. No normalization is applied. Determinism requires byte-level equivalence.
Local release text
Paste the full content of the release object under holder custody.
Expected proof hash
Paste the expected SHA-256 from the public registry state.
Run technical verification
Execute deterministic comparison between local release bytes and expected public proof.
No normalization
The technical verifier hashes the exact bytes provided by the user. Determinism requires byte-level equivalence.
Missing means failure
Missing release text, invalid identifier format, invalid hash format, or mismatch always produce failure.
invalid → FAIL
mismatch → FAIL
Use the result operationally
Valid proof means the visible or technical state can be trusted. Failure means the infrastructure state must not be trusted.
