zeekay f4ee7a0525 Publish under the org, not a person
Bylines, paper authorship, correspondence addresses and the founder blurb under
each post named an individual. They name the organisation that published the
work instead: the brand on posts and pages, the research byline on papers, and
research@ in place of a personal address. Both are what these repositories
already used elsewhere — nothing new was coined.

Co-authors are untouched. Where a paper named someone else alongside, they stay
named; only the one byline changed. Bibliography entries, running heads,
PDF metadata and affiliations move with it, so a citation still resolves to
whoever the cited paper names.

Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use
elsewhere, so no assertion changed meaning.

\begin{abstract}
We present a hybrid cryptographic architecture that combines classical elliptic curve
primitives (BLS12-381, ECDH on Curve25519) with NIST post-quantum standards (ML-DSA
FIPS~204, ML-KEM FIPS~203) via dual-signature and key-combiner constructions. The core
security property is \emph{compositional resilience}: an attacker must break \emph{both}
the classical and post-quantum components simultaneously to compromise any authenticated
message or key agreement. We prove this property formally under standard assumptions
(co-CDH for BLS, Module-LWE for ML-DSA/ML-KEM) and show that the hybrid construction
is strictly stronger than either component during the transition period when the
relative security of lattice assumptions remains uncertain. The architecture is
implemented as native EVM precompiles on the Lux C-Chain, adding 678\,$\mu$s to
signature generation (ML-DSA-65 keygen) and 1.2\,KB to signature size (dual BLS +
ML-DSA), while preserving backward compatibility with existing BLS-only validators.
We provide concrete benchmarks, a migration schedule, and an analysis of the
harvest-now-decrypt-later threat that motivates immediate hybrid deployment rather
than a wait-and-see approach.
