Section 05 · Security

Designed for a post-quantum, hostile world

Twelve-layer security matrix protects identity, routing, content, and the mesh itself.

Hybrid post-quantum cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, onion routing, Sybil & eclipse resistance, hardware attestation, and tamper-evident Merkle logs on every node.

End-to-end encryption

Double Ratchet + Kyber-768 hybrid.

Mutual authentication

X.509-DID + hardware attestation.

Zero-knowledge proofs

zk-SNARKs for selective disclosure.

Post-quantum crypto

Kyber KEM + Dilithium signatures.

Forward secrecy

Per-message ephemeral keys.

Anonymous routing

Onion routing + cover traffic.

Anti-spoofing

Signed link-state + cert pinning.

Anti-replay

Hash-chained nonces + windowed counters.

Sybil resistance

Proof-of-useful-work + social trust graph.

Eclipse resistance

Diverse-peer selection across S2 cells.

DoS resistance

Adaptive PoW + per-source token buckets.

Tamper-evident logs

Append-only Merkle DAG per node.
