5651 & Compliance

5651 compliance, engineered as proof

Every access record is bound into a tamper-evident chain, sealed daily, and signed with an independently verifiable timestamp. Not just logging — producing legally defensible evidence.

Chain of evidence

A record's tamper-evident journey

Four layers of sealing, from each event to a signed evidence pack.

  1. 1

    Hash chain

    Each event is chained to the previous with SHA-256; append-only.

  2. 2

    Daily Merkle root

    Each day's records are gathered into a single root hash.

  3. 3

    RFC 3161 TSA

    The daily root is signed by the TÜBİTAK Kamu SM timestamp authority.

  4. 4

    Signed export

    An independently verifiable evidence pack is produced.

Signed export

One click in an audit produces an independently verifiable evidence pack.

web_access.csv

Who accessed what destination, when, and from which IP.

manifest.json

Hash-chain roots and TSA timestamp references.

verify.sh

A script that lets a third party verify the evidence independently.

Two modes

Correlation and Inline

Correlation mode (Lite / Standard)

Firewall syslog + NAC session table are merged into an enriched access record.

Inline mode (Pro / On-Prem)

The Edge N100 bridges traffic and captures the destination (HTTP Host, TLS SNI, DNS) directly, without MitM.

Why it's stronger

Beyond log-only tools

Tools like FortiLogger collect logs; Anchor turns those logs into legally defensible evidence.

Hash chain (SHA-256)

Append-only; the smallest change is detected instantly.

RFC 3161 TSA anchoring

The daily root is signed by TÜBİTAK Kamu SM — not alterable retroactively.

Sigstore Rekor + cosign

Supply-chain signing and a transparency log.

Independent verification

The signed export pack can be verified by a third party.
