1. Executive Summary This technical document describes the methodology used to certify the authorship, integrity, and temporal precedence of the proprietary protocols "SmartTap Color Code™" and "The TAPIA Protocol". Addressing the inefficiencies of traditional patent registries in early-stage development, a Cryptographic Commitment Scheme is implemented using SHA-256 hashing and public blockchain anchoring (Ethereum/Polygon). This method establishes irrefutable evidence of "Prior Art" without...
