Authority-Bound Governance of Heterogeneous AI Security Decisions in Telecom and IoT Networks
Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled security decision systems in telecom and IoT networks can draw on heterogeneous models whose outputs may trigger operational actions. Recording such decisions on a blockchain does not establish that they are authorised, applicable, policy-consistent, or still valid at execution time. This paper presents governance-2, an authority-bound and fail-closed architecture that separates upstream scientific decision formation from downstream operational enforcement. Each governed case is bound to registered dataset, model, policy, deployment, and optional refiner authorities. Smart-contract checks enforce role separation, authority compatibility, score-to-state and state-to-action consistency, lifecycle validity, replay protection, pause control, authority revocation, and exact-action execution. Evaluation uses two independent branches: a controlled spectrum-access replay with four frozen heterogeneous decision configurations and a measured radio-frequency branch based on WiFiSpectralJam. Across eight frozen measured-data decision streams, governance-2 processes 153,744 stream-case instances derived from 19,218 measured captures while preserving interference-specific semantics and unresolved review states. The full contract rejects all tested invalid operations; stateful invariant testing completes 2,000 generated transaction sequences with zero invariant violations; and single-capability ablation shows that removing an enforcement family exposes its assigned invalid operations while unrelated protections remain active. The results indicate that heterogeneous AI security decisions can share a common governance plane across telecom and IoT settings without redefining their scientific semantics.
