zeekay 6907bfc6e6 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.

Quasar Consensus Composition
Models the adversarial security of Quasar consensus across three chains,
each protected by an independent cryptographic hardness assumption:
- P-Chain: BLS12-381 aggregate signatures (discrete log over pairing groups)
- Q-Chain: Corona threshold lattice signatures (Module-LWE / Module-SIS;
Ringtail-derived parameter regime)
- Z-Chain: ML-DSA-65 identity signatures rolled up via Groth16 (Module-LWE)
MAIN THEOREM (quasar_triple_defense):
An adversary that forges a finalized QuasarCert must have broken
all three hardness assumptions: DiscreteLog AND ModuleSIS AND ModuleLWE.
Proof strategy: contrapositive on each component.
If any one assumption holds, the corresponding signature layer is
unforgeable, so the composite certificate cannot be forged.
Axiom budget:
- AdvBreak (adversary capability predicate)
- bls_unforgeable, corona_unforgeable, mldsa_rollup_unforgeable
(each: assumption holds => forgery of that layer is impossible)
All theorems proved by contradiction against the unforgeability axioms.
Zero sorry gaps.

-- 1. Hardness Assumptions
-- ============================================================================
/-- Cryptographic hardness assumptions underlying the three layers.
Each is modeled as a predicate: "assumption X holds" means no
efficient adversary can solve the corresponding problem. -/
inductive Assumption where
| DiscreteLog : Assumption -- ECDL over BLS12-381 pairing groups
| ModuleSIS : Assumption -- Module-SIS (Corona, short vector)
| ModuleLWE : Assumption -- Module-LWE (ML-DSA-65, noisy inner product)
/-- An adversary is an abstract entity that may or may not break assumptions. -/
structure Adversary where
id : Nat
/-- AdvBreak adv assumption: the adversary has broken the given assumption.
Axiomatized because the actual breaking is a computational event
outside the scope of this algebraic proof. -/
axiom AdvBreak : Adversary → Assumption → Prop
-- ============================================================================
-- 2. QuasarCert: Triple Signature Certificate
-- ============================================================================
/-- A QuasarCert bundles three independent signature aggregates.
A finalized block carries exactly one of these.
Fields model the verification result of each layer:
- blsValid: BLS12-381 aggregate reached quorum on P-Chain
- coronaValid: Corona threshold lattice sig verified on Q-Chain
- mldsaValid: Groth16 proof of N ML-DSA-65 sigs verified on Z-Chain -/
structure QuasarCert where
round : Nat
blockHash : Nat
blsValid : Bool -- BLS12-381 aggregate reached quorum (P-Chain)
coronaValid: Bool -- Corona threshold sig verified (Q-Chain)
mldsaValid : Bool -- Groth16 rollup of ML-DSA-65 sigs verified (Z-Chain)
quorum : Nat -- required threshold (2f+1 out of 3f+1)
blsCount : Nat -- number of valid BLS signatures aggregated
-- ============================================================================
-- 3. Adversary Model
-- ============================================================================
/-- An adversary forges a QuasarCert if it produces a certificate where
all three layers verify, without honest participation.
"Without honest participation" is implicit: the adversary controls
the inputs to all three signature components. If any component
required honest signers, the adversary could not have produced it
alone -- that is what the unforgeability axioms capture. -/
def AdvForge (_adv : Adversary) (cert : QuasarCert) : Prop :=
cert.blsValid = true ∧
cert.coronaValid = true ∧
cert.mldsaValid = true
-- ============================================================================
-- 4. Signature Unforgeability Axioms
-- ============================================================================
-- Each axiom states: if the hardness assumption holds, then the adversary
-- CANNOT produce a valid signature component. This is the standard
-- game-based security definition: Pr[Forge | Assumption] = negl(lambda).
-- We model negl(lambda) = 0 (asymptotic).
/-- BLS unforgeability: if DiscreteLog holds, the adversary cannot
produce a valid BLS aggregate that reaches quorum.
Computational basis: EUF-CMA of BLS12-381 reduces to co-CDH
in the random oracle model. co-CDH reduces to ECDL.
Under ECDL, forging a BLS signature requires computing
H(m)^sk without knowing sk. -/
axiom bls_unforgeable :
∀ (adv : Adversary) (cert : QuasarCert),
¬AdvBreak adv .DiscreteLog →
cert.blsValid = false
/-- Corona unforgeability: if ModuleSIS holds, the adversary cannot
produce a valid Corona threshold lattice signature.
Computational basis: Corona EUF-CMA reduces to finding short
vectors in module lattices (Module-SIS). Under Module-SIS hardness,
the adversary cannot find a short preimage that satisfies the
verification equation A * z = t mod q with ||z|| < beta. -/
axiom corona_unforgeable :
∀ (adv : Adversary) (cert : QuasarCert),
¬AdvBreak adv .ModuleSIS →
cert.coronaValid = false
/-- ML-DSA Groth16 rollup unforgeability: if ModuleLWE holds, the
adversary cannot produce a valid Groth16 proof of N ML-DSA-65 sigs.
Two attack paths, both closed:
(a) Forge an ML-DSA-65 signature: reduces to Module-LWE.
Under Module-LWE, the adversary cannot distinguish A*s + e
from uniform, so cannot recover the secret key s.
(b) Forge the Groth16 proof itself: reduces to q-PKE (Knowledge
of Exponent) in the AGM. This is a weaker assumption than ECDL,
already covered by DiscreteLog. But even without (b), path (a)
suffices: the Groth16 circuit checks ML-DSA verification, so
a valid proof requires valid ML-DSA sigs as witness.
We axiomatize: ModuleLWE => no valid mldsaValid. -/
axiom mldsa_rollup_unforgeable :
∀ (adv : Adversary) (cert : QuasarCert),
¬AdvBreak adv .ModuleLWE →
cert.mldsaValid = false
-- ============================================================================
-- 5. Main Theorem: Quasar Consensus Composition
-- ============================================================================
/-- QUASAR CONSENSUS COMPOSITION:
Any adversary that produces a valid QuasarCert must have broken
all three independent hardness assumptions.
Proof: by contradiction on each component.
For each assumption X, suppose the adversary has NOT broken X.
Then by X_unforgeable, the X-component of cert is false.
But AdvForge requires it to be true. Contradiction. -/
