Cryptography

Current implementation, supported use and explicit qualification limits.

Experimental Feature

This feature is experimental and may change significantly in future versions.

Current release status

Public document hashing and exact integer aggregation are live with signed results. Native consensus, mining, issuance, COMPUTE payments and rewards are inactive. Independent operation is not yet demonstrated.

Implemented cryptography

The public service uses Ed25519 execution signatures and SHA-256 content commitments under explicitly pinned policies. Legacy receipts retain sha256:ca5ccb4ac07f505c8cdc69d5368b677bb2b99c4eb3704655d689fa94c30e7f8e; the qualified patched-runtime policy is sha256:1b6ae938262ac0ba88b717cf416035def35f223eb5aed75ca149928fbe7eabcf. Embedded public keys alone are not a trust anchor.

What signatures do not prove

A valid signature binds a message to a key. It does not prove independent administration, truthful physical execution, sufficient scarce resources, universal computational correctness or financial finality.

Research mechanisms

General ZK/zkVM, universal correctness proofs and hardware-attestation integrations are not qualified public features. Do not interpret diagrams/placeholders as deployed cryptographic guarantees.

Trust boundaries and practical checks

Security comes from specific controls and explicit assumptions. No website badge, AI review or internal test count is an independent security audit.

BoundaryImplementation / evidenceMeaning
Browser boundarySame-origin HTTPS / fixed upstream routesNo caller-selected upstream or server-side wallet signing
Evidence boundaryPinned policy / canonical commitments / Ed25519Reject altered, duplicate, unknown or mismatched attestations
Execution boundaryFixed source, bounded input/runtime, non-root isolationNo arbitrary uploaded program or privileged host command
Economic boundaryProduction activation remains gatedA receipt cannot authorize issuance, payments or governance

Practical procedure

  1. 1Verify software/policy provenance through an independently trusted channel.
  2. 2Keep private identities local with restricted permissions.
  3. 3Retain authentic evidence and classify the scope of each successful check.
  4. 4Stop on source/state/runtime mismatches; never replace a failed check with a simulated success.

Limits and failure cases

  • Signatures do not prove independent administration or arbitrary computation correctness.
  • Internal tests are scoped evidence; they are not an external audit or economic-security guarantee.
  • No certified SOC/ISO/GDPR service or paid bounty commitment is claimed.
