Declares one export surface, sec-authority, carrying the Mode of Authority vocabulary and its machine-readable catalogs, with InfoTechCanon, InterfaceCanon, CommerceCanon and the Custodian as peers under CUST-ADR-006. The card validates against InfoTechCanon's interface-card schema. Imports are pinned against InfoTechCanon e1f98da0 in imports.json, recording path and SHA-256 for each of the five sources; all five were verified to match Git blobs at that commit with the sources unchanged in the review checkout. Reciprocal navigation runs both ways: this repository's interfaces README links the peer cards, and InfoTechCanon carries the SecurityCanon boundary review with its own README link, following the InterfaceCanon precedent. The prj-canon-federation G7 validator passes, and InfoTechCanon make check passes with 46 tests and clean validation. The validator pins card paths for three repositories only, so this card meets the same contract without yet being registered there; that is prj-canon-federation's change to make and the card says so.

security-canon
Orthogonal vocabulary and canonical model for security-related concepts.
SecurityCanon extends InfoTechCanon with a focused security domain model, in the same architectural role that CommerceCanon holds for commercial terminology and InterfaceCanon for interface terminology.
Its subject is architecture, not implementation: the relationships in which
authority is exercised, described before and independently of the mechanisms
that enforce them. Its first contribution is the Mode of Authority vocabulary
— seven auth modes (USE, OBSERVE, OPERATE, ADMINISTER, GOVERN,
CONSTRUCT, SOVEREIGN) read relative to a scope. CARING and the access-control
and identity models stay in InfoTechCanon, at the implementation layer and as
shared roots; see SEC-ADR-001.

| Document | What it holds |
|---|---|
| SEC-ADR-001 | the boundary decision — what stays upstream, and why |
| SEC-ADR-002 | the terminology separation — why AuthorityContext, not Subject |
| Mode of Authority assessment | review of the v0.1 draft and the proposed canon structure |
| Actor/Subject implications | the one open terminology question, analysed |
Status
Draft. The Mode of Authority vocabulary is published as a canon artifact with
machine-readable modes and dimensions; the v0.1 research draft is retained in
research/ as provenance. Stable promotion needs reviewed mappings and concrete
consumer evidence. See
SECURITY-WP-0001.
