Single repo, one canonical impl + spec + proofs + KAT + cut tool.
Per "ONE and ONLY ONE way to do things" the prior dual-repo split
(luxfi/pulsar = production library, luxfi/pulsar-mptc = NIST MPTC
submission framework) is collapsed into a single canonical home at
github.com/luxfi/pulsar. SINGLE-IMPL-PLAN.md (now marked COMPLETED)
describes the steps; this commit lands the final step.

Files merged (16 overlapping, mptc-canonical chosen because newer +
post-rewire-correct; pulsar versions still bore stale "Pulsar-M" /
"pulsarm" branding):
README.md, BLOCKERS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, LICENSE, LICENSING.md,
SECURITY.md, .gitignore, bench/run_all.sh, vectors/dkg.json (v1.0.7
regen), scripts/{bench,build,gen_vectors,sbom,test}.sh,
spec/{pulsar,parameters,system-model}.tex,
CRYPTOGRAPHER-SIGN-OFF.md (path refs).
Pulsar-only spec supplements preserved:
spec/{blockers,design-decisions,family-architecture,nist-mptc-
category,patent-notes,threat-model}.tex.

Narrative collapses (no more two-repo framing):
SUBMISSION.md "At a glance" — single Repository row
SYNC-STATUS.md — rewritten to single-repo state
SINGLE-IMPL-PLAN.md — marked COMPLETED 2026-05-18
HANZO-CRYPTO-SUITE.md — tier 1 row = single canonical home
scripts/cut-submission.sh — replace/vendor dance removed; cuts
directly from in-tree canonical sources
go.mod: dropped mptc's replace directive (no longer needed since this
IS the canonical pulsar repo). Module path is github.com/luxfi/pulsar.
Deps: cloudflare/circl v1.6.3, golang.org/x/crypto v0.32.0.

Test vectors
Two formats per NIST MPTC submission norms:
-
kat-v1.json— input/output vectors per MPTC §IO-Testing. Each entry is a single threshold ceremony with full(n, t, party_seeds, public_params, shares, commitments, preprocessing_transcript, message, per_party_messages, final_signature, verify_result, abort_evidence). -
kat-v1.rsp— CAVS-style response file for compatibility with legacy ACVP-inspired tooling. One signature per stanza, deterministic from a 48-byte seed.
transcripts/ holds full-protocol KATs for (n, t) sweeps —
transcripts/n3-t2.jsonl, transcripts/n7-t5.jsonl, etc. — each line
a complete protocol run.
Cross-validation against FIPS 204
The headline interchangeability claim (Class N1) requires every
final_signature in kat-v1.json to verify against unmodified FIPS 204
ML-DSA.Verify(pk, message, signature) returning accept. The
cross-validation harness at test/interoperability/ runs each KAT
through:
- the reference implementation in
ref/go/ - the FIPS 204 reference (Dilithium pq-crystals C reference)
- a third independent ML-DSA implementation (BoringSSL FIPS or OpenSSL 3.0 PQ provider, whichever is available)
A KAT mismatch with any of the three is a release blocker.
Determinism
Every entry in kat-v1.json is reproducible from master_seed (a
48-byte hex value at the head of the file). scripts/gen_vectors.sh
must produce byte-identical output on any fresh checkout. Drift here
is a CI failure.
Status
- KAT generator (
ref/go/cmd/genkat) — implementation pending - First v1 KAT set
- FIPS 204 cross-validation
- Independent-impl cross-validation
- Encoded into
vectors/transcripts/for(n, t) ∈ {(3,2), (5,3), (7,5), (10,7), (16,11), (32,21)}
