Evidence scope
An inspection and protocol requirement drawn from safeguards and enclosure studies, not a reported break of a deployed AI verifier 11.
Johnston argues that a seal is no better than the protocols for using it, and that inspectors are usually given little useful information on how to detect tampering. The Sandia survey notes that larger enclosures are hard to inspect fully and that sensor data must be authenticated.
