The technical brief,
on request.
Sovereignty is a question of jurisdiction, not hosting. The Northfleet architecture brief covers the sovereign supply chain at the depth a defence-prime engineering team or federal accreditation authority will expect: protocol, attestation chain, threat model, and accreditation mapping. It is not a public document.
At engineering depth.
- 01
Protocol design and attestation chain
How artifacts move from build environment to classified deployment without a back-channel: the bundle protocol, signature flow, and verification path.
- 02
Threat model
What Northfleet defends against, and what it deliberately does not. Adversary assumptions, trust boundaries, and the reasoning behind every excluded threat.
- 03
Cryptographic posture
Signing, verification, key management, and the supply-chain integrity model, including the offline verification path a cleared operator can reproduce without Northfleet tooling.
- 04
Accreditation mapping
ITSG-33 control coverage, evidence schemas, audit-trail format, and the path from Northfleet's evidence to accreditation package.
- 05
Operational topology
The operating model: who runs what, and the responsibility split between Northfleet (vendor) and the customer (operator). Where jurisdiction lands across the five surfaces a procurement review examines: operator, trust roots, supply chain, runtime, and corporate parent.
- 06
Roadmap and out-of-scope items
What Northfleet commits to, what is in scoping, and the capabilities Northfleet has deliberately decided not to build.
Written for the people who will accredit it.
The brief is intended for engineering directors, principal and staff engineers, security architects, and accreditation authorities at Canadian defence primes, federal departments, and allied multilateral buyers.
It assumes operational familiarity with Kubernetes, classified deployment environments, and ITSG-33. It is not a marketing document and does not pretend to be one.
