Abstract
eCommerce has rapidly turned into a trillion dollar a year industry. Now an integral part of modern economies, it is continuing to expand, especially in the form of M- commerce. Numerous solutions have been proposed to secure consumer-level eCommerce and M-commerce transactions. The recent shift toward chip-and-PIN cards in some jurisdictions, and similar technologies that require pre-transaction customer authorization, has begun to shift the legal liability for security breaches from the financial institutions onto the customers themselves. Because it is relatively easy to acquire someone's PIN (e.g., through shoulder surfing, cameras placed in the environment, touch sensitive overlays, or compromised debit or credit card terminals), a core issue is that customers are given no formal means by which they can prove their involvement (or lack thereof) in a given transaction. To make matters worse, the supposition becomes that they were careless with their PIN and, hence, by the card holder agreement, hold financial responsibility for the transaction(s). This work addresses said problem by developing a secure and efficient (<; 5 second) consumer-level eCommerce/M-Commerce transaction protocol that supports non-repudiation for the customer, merchant, and financial institution. Hence, post-transaction, each participant holds sufficient information to prove what the others did (or did not) do. To our knowledge this is the first transaction protocol to support such full 3-way non-repudiation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
