Hardware-rooted trust and distributed verifier consensus for PQ-RASCV
Documentation
//! Post-Quantum Federation Transport
//!
//! Implements strict, post-quantum secure transport semantics for verifier-to-verifier
//! communication within the federation. Utilizes ML-KEM for shared secret establishment
//! and `ChaCha20Poly1305` for AEAD symmetric encryption.
//!
//! # Security Properties
//!
//! ## Identity-Bound PKI (Issue 1 Fix)
//! `PqTransportSession::establish` now binds directly to `VerifierIdentity`. The
//! ML-KEM encapsulation public key is extracted from `remote.ml_kem_public_key`, not
//! from a centralized `FederationKeyring`. Keys are verifiable through the certificate
//! chain, not hardcoded static mappings.
//!
//! ## HKDF Chain Ratchet (Issue 2 Fix)
//! After each message, the session key is ratcheted forward:
//! `K_{n+1} = SHA3-256(K_n || b"ratchet")`.
//! This provides bounded post-compromise security: a leaked session key for
//! message N does not expose messages N+1 onward.
//!
//! ## Replay Resistance
//! Sequence numbers are strictly monotonic. Any regression or unexpected gap
//! causes the session to fail closed.
