| 8 | +DRIFT is a decentralized identity and trust layer that propagates **traceable context** ā such as sessions, prompts, user metadata, and spans ā across AI tools and services in **event-driven environments** like the Model Context Protocol (MCP). |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## š§ Background: Understanding Data Drift |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +In software engineering, **data drift** is a key concern that can affect system reliability and trust in data processing pipelines. DRIFT helps mitigate these risks by making identity and changes traceable. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Three common types of drift include: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- **Infrastructure Drift** ā Changes in the software environment that can break or invalidate infrastructure configurations. |
| 17 | +- **Structural Drift** ā Changes to the data schema that may invalidate databases or data contracts. |
| 18 | +- **Semantic Drift** ā Changes in the meaning of data without altering its structure, often caused by multiple developers independently modifying system components. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +By assigning decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and enforcing consistent, signed metadata, DRIFT supports systems in managing and auditing these types of drift. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## š What DRIFT Does |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +DRIFT enables trusted interoperability between distributed AI components by providing unique, verifiable identities for all parts of an AI pipeline. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## ⨠Features |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +- ā
Assigns [DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers)](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/) to all entities: |
| 30 | + - Sessions |
| 31 | + - Prompts |
| 32 | + - Users |
| 33 | + - Tools |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +- š Uses **public/private key cryptography** to: |
| 36 | + - Sign events |
| 37 | + - Verify authenticity of actions and actors |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- š§± Defines a **consistent metadata structure** for: |
| 40 | + - Events |
| 41 | + - Tools |
| 42 | + - Services |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +- š Supports **verifiable logs and data lineage**: |
| 45 | + - Track where and how data was processed |
| 46 | + - Ensure transparency in AI workflows |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +## š¦ Use Cases |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +- Model Context Protocol (MCP) pipelines |
| 51 | +- Distributed AI systems |
| 52 | +- Event logging with trusted provenance |
| 53 | +- Prompt and session tracking across tools |
