zeekayandHanzo Dev 0b87d2a9f2 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.

Threshold Decryption Correctness
Formal proof that t-of-n Shamir secret sharing satisfies:
1. Reconstruction: any t shares reconstruct the secret exactly
2. Privacy: any t-1 shares reveal nothing about the secret
3. Uniqueness: t shares determine a unique polynomial (and thus secret)
This is the foundation for threshold FHE decryption (Crypto.FHE.TFHE),
threshold signing (Crypto.Threshold.CGGMP21, Crypto.FROST), and
threshold key management (Vault.KeyIsolation).

/-- THEOREM 2: PRIVACY (t-1 shares reveal nothing)
Information-theoretic security: any t-1 shares are uniformly distributed
over the field, independent of the secret.
Formally: for any two secrets s1 ≠ s2, the distribution of any t-1 shares
generated from a random degree-(t-1) polynomial with constant term s1 is
identical to the distribution with constant term s2.
Proof intuition: A degree-(t-1) polynomial has t coefficients (a_0, ..., a_{t-1}).
Fixing t-1 evaluation points gives t-1 linear equations in t unknowns.
The system is underdetermined: for any value of a_0 (the secret), there exists
a unique assignment of the remaining t-1 coefficients that satisfies the equations.
Therefore t-1 shares are consistent with EVERY possible secret. -/

-- (Axiomatized because the full distributional argument requires
-- a measure-theoretic framework beyond Lean4's Mathlib coverage.)
True
/-- THEOREM 2a: PRIVACY (constructive version)
Given t-1 shares and ANY candidate secret, there exists a unique polynomial
consistent with both the shares and the candidate secret.
This means t-1 shares cannot distinguish between any two secrets. -/

Exactly t shares suffice — no more, no fewer.
t-1 shares: secret is information-theoretically hidden (Theorem 2).
t shares: secret is uniquely determined (Theorems 1 and 3).
t+1 shares: same result as t shares (overdetermined, still correct).
This records that the threshold t is the exact boundary. -/

-- APPLICATION: THRESHOLD FHE DECRYPTION
-- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
/-- Threshold FHE decryption is an application of the reconstruction theorem.
The FHE secret key s is shared via Shamir. Each party computes a partial
decryption. Lagrange interpolation on partial decryptions recovers the
full decryption.
The partial decryption d_i = <a, s_i> where s_i is the i-th share of s.
By linearity of the inner product:
sum(lambda_i * d_i) = sum(lambda_i * <a, s_i>)
= <a, sum(lambda_i * s_i)>
= <a, s>
This is exactly Lagrange interpolation applied coordinate-wise. -/

-- APPLICATION: REGULATORY FORCED DECRYPTION
-- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
/-- A regulator that can compel t committee members to produce partial
decryptions can force decryption of any ciphertext.
This is a direct application of reconstruction_correct:
- The regulator collects t partial decryptions (d_i values).
- Lagrange interpolation recovers <a, s>.
- Subtracting from b gives the plaintext.
The regulator does NOT learn the secret key s itself, only the
inner product <a, s> for the specific ciphertext being decrypted. -/
