Hive Inference Provenance generates a cryptographic receipt for every AI action — model identity, provider, token counts, latency, and a post-quantum ML-DSA-65 signature. No chain dependency. No shared secret. Verifiable by any regulator, anytime.
EU AI Act Article 13 and Annex IV set specific logging obligations. Here is how Hive satisfies each one.
Every inference call records the model identifier, provider, and version — unambiguously tied to the action that occurred.
model_id · provider · versionToken counts, prompt hash, and completion hash are embedded in every receipt — enabling reconstruction without storing raw content.
token_counts · prompt_hash · completion_hashAn ML-DSA-65 post-quantum signature covers the entire receipt payload. Any mutation invalidates the signature instantly.
ML-DSA-65 · self-authenticatingReceipts are self-contained JSON documents. No database query, no chain access, no Hive infrastructure required for verification.
self-contained JSON · offline-verifiableNIST-selected ML-DSA-65 (CRYSTALS-Dilithium) is quantum-safe. Records signed today remain verifiable after the cryptographic transition.
NIST FIPS 204 · quantum-safeThe open /verify endpoint accepts any receipt ID. No login, no fee, no Hive account — any auditor or regulator can verify independently.
Side-by-side with KITE AI and conventional logging approaches.

No changes to your agent logic. No new infrastructure to operate.
Hive intercepts the call, records model identity, provider, token counts, and latency — all before the response reaches your agent.
model_id · provider · tokens · latency_msThe full record is signed with a NIST FIPS 204 post-quantum key. The receipt is now self-contained and tamper-evident — no external reference needed.
ML-DSA-65 · FIPS 204 · self-containedAny regulator or auditor pastes a receipt ID into /verify. Instant cryptographic proof. No Hive account, no fee, no infrastructure dependency.
Hive PQ Receipts and Inference Provenance address obligations across multiple regulatory and standards frameworks.
Every agent call produces a signed, portable, regulator-ready audit record. ML-DSA-65 post-quantum signatures. Offline-verifiable. No chain dependency for the verifier. EU AI Act Article 13 compliant from the first inference.
