SHP Public Website & Information Architecture Specification v1.2

This specification defines the required information architecture, publication model, discovery structure, presentation boundaries, qualification requirements and structural governance of the public Structured Hardening Project website.

Status: Active

Version 1.2 is a Minor amendment adding the implemented Platform Admission Record publication model, explicit platform-support derivation, support/readiness separation and historical current-version discovery.

It also closes the permanent publication-governance reconciliation requirement carried forward from PWIA v1.0 and v1.1.

No certification mathematics, tier meaning, platform control meaning, threat model, cryptographic trust semantics or certification outcome semantics are changed by this amendment.

Platform support publication

A platform is publicly represented as supported only where an applicable Active Platform Admission Record has admission status supported.

Platform specifications, control catalogues, website pages, testing or historical implementation do not independently establish support.

Support and operational readiness

Platform support is separate from production certification-signing readiness and certification-service availability.

An Active Platform Admission Record does not itself assert that production intermediate private-key material exists or that a certification service is operational.

Historical versions

Superseded specification pages remain available for historical interpretation and provide an explicit route to the current published successor.

Historical normative artefacts remain immutable.

Repository location and commit history provide provenance and traceability. They do not determine SHP normative authority, lifecycle status, platform support, or certification eligibility.
