clearinghouse

The Clearinghouse issues every RIN.

A robot doesn't get to speak on the network until the Clearinghouse verifies its identity, its manufacturer, and the organization responsible for it.

Verification

A registrar reviews the submitted robot, its documents, and its hardware identity.

Issuance

A cryptographic RIN is bound to a public key and to a responsible organization.

Lifecycle

Ownership transfers, software changes, recalls and retirements are all recorded.

Revocation

Compromised or non-compliant robots are suspended or revoked.

Public lookup

Anyone can verify a RIN against the Clearinghouse.

Governance

Registrar and network governance operate under published policy.
