This implementation deals with cryptographic security, so we pay special attention to:
- Information Leakage: Ensuring zero-knowledge property is maintained
- Soundness: Preventing proof forgery attacks
- Post-Quantum Security: Resistance to quantum computer attacks
- Side-Channel Attacks: Timing, memory, and other side channels
- Implementation Security: Buffer overflows, injection attacks, etc.
- Zero Information Leakage: Proven through comprehensive testing
- Configurable Soundness: 32-256 bit security levels
- Post-Quantum Cryptography: Dilithium signatures, quantum-resistant hashes
- Secure Random Generation: Cryptographically secure randomness
- Memory Safety: Go's memory safety features
We maintain comprehensive security testing including:
- Information Leakage Analysis: Automated detection of secret exposure
- Soundness Verification: Mathematical proof validation
- Performance Security: Timing attack resistance
- Fuzzing: Input validation and edge case testing
- Static Analysis: Code security scanning
Security updates will be:
- Prioritized: Security fixes take precedence over features
- Tested: Thoroughly tested before release
- Documented: Clear changelog and impact assessment
- Coordinated: Responsible disclosure timeline followed
We appreciate security researchers who help improve the security of quantum cryptographic systems. Responsible disclosure helps protect all users.
