1//! # Integrity Chain
2//!
3//! HIPAA-5 §164.312(c)(1) Integrity Controls. Each event is signed with an
4//! HMAC over `(previous_signature || canonical_event_bytes)`, forming a
5//! tamper-evident chain: a single byte mutation invalidates every signature
6//! downstream.
7//!
8//! This module defines the trait + a default HMAC-SHA256 implementation +
9//! a small set of test vectors. Wiring into [`EventStore`](crate::event_store)
10//! lands in Step 2; the trait is stable now so projection-side verifiers can
11//! be written ahead of the storage migration.
12//!
13//! ## Why HMAC, not a public-key signature
14//!
15//! Per-event ECDSA/Ed25519 is overkill for a single-tenant audit chain — the
16//! threat is "someone with DB write access tampers with old rows", not "an
17//! external party impersonates the framework". A symmetric HMAC keyed by a
18//! secret only the application owns is sufficient evidence of tampering and
19//! ~50× faster on the write path.
20//!
21//! Future: Step 5 may add a public-verifiable mode for cross-organization
22//! audit hand-off.
