xDispute: International Arbitration Evidence Protection

Fast Onboarding: 3 Acceleration Levels

Traditional arbitration platform integration requires manual DID generation, arbitrator registry setup, and evidence storage configuration. Xdispute provides three acceleration levels: Zero-Click (15 sec), CLI (90 sec), Deploy Button (10 min).

Example: Zero-Click

Auto-accept invite on first API call. Invite code comes from environment variable. Platform DID generated automatically. Arbitrator panel registered with threshold voting. Evidence storage configured with split custody.

# Step 1: Set invite code (from arbitration platform onboarding email)
export XDISPUTE_INVITE_CODE=XD-abc123

# Step 2: Create your first dispute (auto-accepts invite)
npx @private.me/xdispute create \
  --title "Smart Contract Dispute" \
  --claimant did:key:z6Mk...buyer \
  --respondent did:key:z6Mk...seller \
  --amount 1500000

# What happens automatically:
# [0%] Auto-accepting invite...
# [20%] Generating platform DID...
# [40%] Registering arbitrator panel (2-of-3)...
# [60%] Configuring evidence storage (split custody)...
# [80%] Provisioning case management dashboard...
# [100%] Dispute created
#
# ✅ Platform DID: did:key:z6Mk...xyz
# ✅ Arbitrator panel registered (2-of-3)
# ✅ Evidence storage configured
# ✅ Case ID: dispute-001
#
# Total time: ~15 seconds

Example: CLI

Explicit initialization via CLI. Platform DID saved to .env. Arbitrator panel configuration persisted. Evidence storage endpoints configured. Case management dashboard provisioned.

# Step 1: Install CLI globally
npm install -g @private.me/xdispute

# Step 2: Initialize platform
xdispute init

# Platform initialized:
# ✅ Platform DID generated
# ✅ Saved to .env
# Ready to create disputes

# Step 3: Create your first dispute
xdispute create \
  --title "Smart Contract Dispute" \
  --claimant did:key:z6Mk...buyer \
  --respondent did:key:z6Mk...seller \
  --amount 1500000 \
  --threshold 2 \
  --total-arbitrators 3

# Output:
# [0%] Validating configuration...
# [20%] Registering arbitrator panel...
# [60%] Configuring evidence storage...
# [100%] Dispute created
#
# ✅ Arbitrator panel registered (2-of-3)
# ✅ Evidence storage configured (split custody)
# ✅ Case management dashboard provisioned
# ✅ Ready to file evidence and decisions
#
# Total time: ~90 seconds

Example: Deploy Button

Click one button to provision arbitration platform server, evidence storage, arbitrator invite dashboard, and case analytics on Vercel/Netlify/Railway.

DEPLOY BUTTONS

After deployment:
• Environment variables auto-configured
• Platform DID auto-generated
• Ready to create disputes immediately
• Total setup time: ~10 minutes

The Problem

International arbitration involves sharing sensitive evidence across hostile jurisdictions where local courts may order seizure, and parties may attempt to tamper with or suppress evidence.

Arbitration evidence includes trade secrets, financial records, and strategic documents. When evidence is stored in a single jurisdiction, local authorities can compel disclosure, and opposing parties can seek injunctive access.

Chain-of-custody is critical for admissibility, but traditional custody logs are easily tampered with. Parties routinely challenge evidence integrity in cross-border disputes.

The Old Way

The PRIVATE.ME Solution

xDispute uses Double XorIDA to split arbitration evidence across independent jurisdictions. HMAC-chained custody logs provide tamper-evident evidence handling records.

Evidence is Double XorIDA-split: security threshold (K-of-N) plus erasure coding for survivability. Shares are distributed to custodians in independent legal jurisdictions so no single court order can compel complete disclosure.

Every custody event (upload, access, transfer, exhibit marking) is recorded in an HMAC-SHA256-chained log with DID signatures. The chain of custody is cryptographically verifiable and court-admissible.

The New Way

How It Works

xDispute combines Double XorIDA split custody with HMAC-chained evidence handling and DID-authenticated access across jurisdictions.

Use Cases

Integration

import { ArbitrationVault } from '@private.me/xdispute';

const vault = await ArbitrationVault.create({
  caseDid: caseDid,
  jurisdictions: ['CH', 'SG', 'UK'],
  threshold: { k: 2, n: 3 },
  doubleXorida: true
});

Security Properties

Verifiable Data Protection

Every operation in this ACI produces a verifiable audit trail via xProve. HMAC-chained integrity proofs let auditors confirm that data was split, stored, and reconstructed correctly — without accessing the data itself.

Ship Proofs, Not Source

xDispute generates cryptographic proofs of correct execution without exposing proprietary algorithms. Verify integrity using zero-knowledge proofs — no source code required.
