URI Scheme Name: sss

Status: Provisional

URI Scheme Syntax:
  sss-URI = "sss:" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]
  hier-part = "//" authority path-abempty
             / path-absolute
             / path-rootless
             / path-empty

URI Scheme Semantics:
  The "sss" URI scheme identifies consent-gated, bilateral-identity-verified protocol interactions within the Sovereign Source Secure (SSS) protocol. Each sss: interaction requires independent verification of both the originating and receiving parties before any value, data, or authorisation is transferred, and produces a court-admissible bilateral settlement record.

Applications/Protocols that use this URI scheme:
  Sovereign digital identity verification, consent management, data access governance, and payment-attributed bilateral settlement recording.

Security Considerations:
  1. Bilateral identity verification is mandatory.
  2. Each interaction is bound to an orbital timing epoch.
  3. Replay prevention is structural via epoch binding.
  4. AI agents are structurally excluded via hardware security element requirement.
  5. Post-quantum resistance is enforced via FN-DSA and ML-KEM.
  6. Court-admissible records are generated at point of interaction.
