Pending Acquisition

These are named by the TUF publication list but were not already available as public AIWG REF entries or as local source files in this checkout:

  • Survivable Key Compromise in Software Update Systems
  • Diplomat: Using Delegations to Protect Community Repositories
  • *Mercury: Bandwidth-Effective Prevention of Rollback Attacks Against

Community Repositories*

  • A Look In the Mirror: Attacks on Package Managers

They should be acquired through the research corpus workflow before AIWG adds paper-specific claims beyond the high-level TUF summary in REF-072.

The issue body names `.aiwg/architecture/` ADR files, but this checkout's public `.aiwg` artifact tree does not include that architecture directory. The available public operator contract, `docs/install/web-backed-resources.md`, now links the final public REF entries under its Research Basis section.
