Reading a warrant canary
Check VPSDEN canary publication status and understand the limits of signatures and update schedules.
Has VPSDEN published a signed warrant canary?
Start with the current status
The canary page and JSON status both report that no canary has been issued. Do not interpret this as a missed scheduled issue or a signed statement of zero legal requests.
What verification would require
For any future signed document, obtain its exact text, date, stated scope and verification key through a trusted channel. Check the signature against those bytes and read the actual statements. A signature establishes control of a key, not independent proof of all facts asserted.
A missing update has several explanations
An unavailable page, an overdue date or a changed sentence does not by itself establish the cause. Seek clarification and use other information when assessing a provider. Current contact and request policies are available through published information.
