Method Validation Attestation

JSON Schema for method-validation attestations in CycloneDX declarations format. Shape-only: predicate/status agreement, validUntil window checks, validator independence and Fulcio identity comparison are verifier (adbom-cli) checks. Normative requirements: https://sec.hypermedia.au/standards/method-validation/v1 Cross-document convention (ratified 2026-07-18): map.requirement cites the requirement's published URL (pattern-pinned, offline-checkable); claim.target is a cyberbench method URN (never a BOM-Link). These deliberately reference documents outside this BOM; resolution is via sec.hypermedia.au and BOM-Links.

What this attestation claims

It asserts one of these predicates:

  • method-validated
  • method-validation-failed

About: METH-001: a method URN — never a BOM-Link, finding, run, or case — matching ^urn:cyberbench:method/.+.

Reasoning: a written justification is optional.

Evidence: one or more references to evidence items, by bom-ref.

How it's scored

Each mapped requirement carries two independent 0.0–1.0 scores, each with a rationale: conformance (how fully the requirement is met) and confidence (how sure the assessor is of that judgement).

Signing & trust

Signed with ES256 / ES384 / ES512.

Keyless signing via a Fulcio certificate — the signer's identity is bound in the certificate path, so there's no long-lived key to manage.

Who may attest

Each attestation names an assessor described by:

bom-ref (required)
a BOM reference identifying the assessor entry
thirdParty
whether the assessor is an independent third party
organization (required)
the attesting organization (name + URL)
