Reserved state

TSP states that can never be self-issued: anchored, qualified-timestamped and registered.

Definition

The three states require independent attestation in the paid Seal layer: Merkle-root anchoring in the Evidence ledger, qualified time from a QTSP, and registration in the public register (following the Certificate Transparency model, still in design).

Why it matters

The line between self-attested and independently attested is the core of the trust model — payment never grants official status.
