HAREGov
HAREGov is designed to provide runtime governance for government AI—intended to support evidence integrity, FOIA disclosure, classification levels, and retention schedules through cryptographic evidence.
Sector Disclaimer: Vertical examples illustrate intended application domains. Sector-specific compliance requires independent legal and technical validation.
The Challenge
Evidence, public records, and classified information all require verifiable chain of custody. When AI touches these records, you need proof of every access, every transformation, every disclosure decision.
Evidence Workflow
An illustrative governed workflow for evidence handling, chain-of-custody, and public records disclosure. Vertical workflows illustrate intended governance patterns and are not production deployments.
Body cam video, documents, photos ingested as Capsules. Cryptographic hashes recorded. Chain-of-custody begins at intake with Proof-of-Action.
EXECUTE + PoAEvery handoff—evidence room, lab, prosecutor, court—is a custody event. Each event produces a PoA with RLTA timestamp and actor identity.
Custody TrackingFOIA request logged to the evidence capsule. Request scope, requester, and timeline captured with Evidence Artifact.
Request LoggingFOIA officer uses AI to identify sensitive segments: minors, undercover officers, ongoing investigations. AI proposes redaction map—nothing committed yet.
EVALUATE modeValidation Gate checks redaction against FOIA statute, case status, legal holds. Legal counsel approval captured with PoA.
Dual ControlRedacted disclosure committed. Evidence Artifact records: what was disclosed, what was redacted, which policies applied, who approved.
EXECUTE + PoAIf court orders suppression, keys are crypto-shredded but lineage preserved. You can prove the evidence existed and was properly suppressed.
RevocationCapabilities
Every touch of evidence—physical or digital—is recorded with RLTA timestamp, actor identity, and cryptographic proof. Chain designed to support evidentiary requirements.
AI-assisted redaction with human approval. Every redaction decision is evidenced: what was redacted, why, by whom, under what authority.
Clearance levels enforced at runtime. User without SECRET clearance cannot query SECRET-classified Capsules—even through AI.
Records retention enforced by policy. Can't delete before retention window expires. Can prove records were retained as required.
State vs. federal, cross-border, inter-agency—data routing enforced by jurisdiction policy. Evidence stays where law requires.
Court-ordered suppression crypto-shreds content but preserves Merkle continuity. Prove evidence existed and was properly handled.
Regulatory Alignment
| Requirement | Standard | HARE Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| FOIA | 5 U.S.C. § 552 | Auditable redaction, disclosure evidence |
| FedRAMP | NIST 800-53 | Access control, audit trails, encryption |
| CJIS | FBI CJIS Security Policy | Chain-of-custody, access logging |
| Records Management | 44 U.S.C. Chapter 31 | Retention enforcement, disposition proof |
| Classification | EO 13526 | Clearance-gated access, need-to-know |
Use Cases
Body cam footage, digital forensics, case files—all with cryptographic chain-of-custody designed to support defense scrutiny.
FOIA requests handled with AI assistance. Auditable redaction decisions. Proof of timely and complete disclosure.
Classification-level enforcement for AI queries. Compartmentalization enforced at runtime. Need-to-know verified before every access.
