Source: Federal Rules of Evidence 901 and 902 govern the authentication of evidence in US courts. Rule 901 requires evidence to be authenticated — proof that it is what its proponent claims. Rule 902(13) and 902(14) (the 2017 amendments) make certain electronic records and copies authenticated by a qualified-person certification of a hash / digital process self-authenticating. KYE Protocol™ governs whether an AI-generated assertion / characterisation may PROCEED to a consequential litigation action with a replay-provable provenance pin and a signed, hash-bound Evidence Pack, so the AI review is authenticable under FRE 901/902 and no AI-asserted fact or citation is relied on without a pinned, verifiable source. KYE does not judge the substantive admissibility or relevance of the evidence. · License: The Federal Rules of Evidence are a US government work in the public domain; KYE registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the official rule identifier for mapping purposes only.
