ACTIS is a vendor-neutral cryptographic standard for verifying the integrity of transaction evidence through hash-chain validation, signature verification, and deterministic replay. It defines formats and algorithms allowing independent parties to confirm evidence has not been tampered with, but explicitly does not address dispute resolution, identity verification beyond signatures, or the truthfulness of the evidence itself.
A critical analysis arguing that C++26's new safety features (constexpr evaluation, contracts, standard library hardening) are insufficient responses to the memory safety crisis, and that the framing overstates their real-world impact—particularly regarding opt-in safety mechanisms and the misuse of the CrowdStrike incident and 70% vulnerability statistic as motivation.
