Aerospace and defence eligibility verification
Aerospace and defence programmes need clear eligibility at facilities and partner boundaries. AffixIO returns signed allow or deny with post-quantum signatures suitable for long-lived audit expectations.

- Note
- Architectural capability, not a clearance authority
Aerospace and defence eligibility verification proves a subject may enter a facility or programme boundary under policy, as a signed cryptographic outcome. AffixIO is infrastructure, not a government clearance authority.
The challenge
Partner and facility identity sprawl
Prime and subcontractor systems each hold clearance-related attributes, increasing copy risk and audit complexity.
Attribute copies
Partners re-store sensitive clearance attributes.
Long audit horizons
Classical-only signatures age poorly for multi-year programmes.
Visitor and contractor churn
Short engagements leave stale access.
Use cases
Programme scenarios
Architectural patterns for eligibility at controlled boundaries.
Partner API gates
Eligibility before data exchange.
partnerProgramme checkpoints
Signed progress eligibility.

How verification works
- 01
Issue
Policy authority defines a Noir circuit for the rule set. Witness inputs come from systems that already own the records.
- 02
Bind
Proof is bound to event context: programme ID, expiry, geography, and anti-replay nonce. ML-DSA-65 signature applied at issue.
- 03
Present
User, agent, or device presents the credential via API call or secure QR at the service boundary.
- 04
Verify
Verifier receives allow or deny plus Merkle reference. No personal data retained at the verifier by default.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are you a clearance authority?
No. AffixIO verifies cryptographic eligibility outcomes. Clearance decisions remain with authorised bodies.
Why post-quantum?
Programme artefacts may need verification for many years.
