+# Trust Identity Protocol (TIP) Whitepaper v5.0
+
+The canonical 140-page specification for the Trust Identity Protocol, the open, post-quantum, federated standard for verified human identity and content provenance on the internet.

+This Hugging Face mirror is provided so the ML and AI research community can discover, download, and discuss the specification alongside other open AI infrastructure.
+
+## What is TIP?
+
+TIP is a three-layer protocol: TIP-ID (identity), TIP-CONTENT (provenance), and TIP-TRUST (reputation). The cryptography is built on NIST post-quantum standards (FIPS 203 ML-KEM-768, FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65, FIPS 205 SLH-DSA). The network is a federated DAG of cryptographically signed records operated by accredited Node Operators. The governance is an independent multi-stakeholder council.
+
+## What is it not?
+
+TIP is not a watermarking scheme, a content classifier, or a learned detection model. It is a cryptographic protocol that binds verified human identity to signed content and to a public registry record. The complementary technologies (C2PA for device-side capture, classifiers for AI-generated content detection) compose with TIP; they do not replace it.
