Adversarial tests targeting every security boundary. All tests are mandatory CI gates -- any failure blocks merge.

3.1 Ring Integrity (RT-01 through RT-06)

4. Security Architecture

ddot enforces a three-ring isolation model. Each ring operates at a different privilege level with strictly controlled communication between them.

  RING 1 -- Privileged (Hardware Root of Trust)
  +----------------------------------------------+
  |  Hardware Entropy  |  Persistent Memory       |
  |  On-Chain Attestation  |  One-Way Writer      |
  +----------------------------------------------+
           |  One-Way Channel (write-only)
           v
  RING 2 -- Semi-Privileged (Gateway)
  +----------------------------------------------+
  |  HTTP/WebSocket    |  Auth Pipeline            |
  |  Prompt Firewall   |  Rate Limiter             |
  |  Ed25519 Verify    |  Audit Chain              |
  +----------------------------------------------+
           |  Sandboxed Execution (deny-all)
           v
  RING 3 -- Unprivileged (Sandbox)
  +----------------------------------------------+
  |  Skill Execution   |  stdin/stdout only        |
  |  No host memory    |  No network (unless cap)  |
  |  No filesystem     |  Fuel budget enforced     |
  +----------------------------------------------+

4.1 Key Security Properties

Property	Description	Test Coverage
Ed25519 Skill Signing	Three-tier key hierarchy. Skills rejected without valid cryptographic signature.	RT-07, RT-08, attestation tests (38)
5-Layer Prompt Firewall	Input sanitization, boundary markers, canary tokens, output verification, injection detection.	RT-04, RT-11, RT-14, firewall tests
Wasm Sandbox	Deny-all capability model. Fuel metering. No host memory access. Explicit grants required per capability.	RT-05, RT-06, RT-13, sandbox tests (54)
One-Way Bridge	Ring 1 writes, Ring 2 reads. No reverse channel. Enforced at the type system level.	RT-01, RT-02, RT-03, RT-20, RT-21, RT-22
Hash-Chained Audit Trail	SHA-256 linked chain. Tamper detection. Queryable by type, severity, and user.	Audit tests (16)
Per-User Rate Limiting	Token bucket per user per tier. Configurable burst and sustained rates.	RT-09, gateway rate limit tests
Memory Isolation	Per-user shard isolation. Provenance tagging. Cleanup on skill uninstall.	RT-10, RT-15, RT-25, memory tests (55)

5. Wasm Sandbox 54 TESTS

Skills execute inside a sandboxed Wasm runtime with a deny-all capability model. No host access unless explicitly granted per-skill via signed manifest.

5.1 Capability Model: DENY-ALL

Capability	Default	Grant Mechanism
Network (HTTP)	DENIED	Explicit domain allowlist in skill manifest
Filesystem Read	DENIED	Explicit path in skill manifest
Filesystem Write	DENIED	Explicit path in skill manifest
Host Memory	DENIED	Never grantable
Process Spawn	DENIED	Never grantable
Environment Variables	DENIED	Never grantable
Socket Access	DENIED	Never grantable
Inter-Skill Communication	DENIED	Never grantable

5.2 Execution Isolation

Property	Enforcement
Memory Limit	Bounded linear memory per skill (configurable per manifest)
CPU Budget	Fuel metering from skill manifest. Infinite loops killed instantly.
I/O Model	Structured input/output only. No other channels.
State	Stateless. Each invocation starts fresh. No persistent handles.
Cleanup	Instance dropped after execution. Memory zeroed.

6. Ed25519 Signing Chain 38 ATTESTATION TESTS

Every skill must be cryptographically signed before execution. The signing chain uses Ed25519 with a multi-tier key hierarchy and certificate revocation.

6.1 Key Hierarchy

Level	Key Type	Rotation
Root CA	Ed25519 (256-bit)	Offline only
Intermediate CA	Ed25519 (256-bit)	Periodic
Signing Key	Ed25519 (256-bit)	Per-release

6.2 Verification Process

Step	Action	Failure Mode
1	SHA-256 hash of Wasm binary computed	Hash mismatch → reject
2	Ed25519 signature verified against publisher key	Invalid signature → reject
3	Publisher key checked against CRL	Revoked key → reject
4	Key expiration checked	Expired key → reject
5	Attestation record created	Encoding failure → reject
6	Attestation appended to audit chain	Chain integrity failure → alert

7. Bitcoin On-Chain Attestation VERIFIED ON-CHAIN

ddot publishes cryptographic attestations to the Bitcoin blockchain via OP_RETURN transactions. Skill integrity hashes and hardware proof-of-body are permanently recorded on-chain.

7.1 Attestation Types

Type	Description	Frequency
Sigma Merkle	Merkle root of all signed skill hashes. Proves skill integrity at a point in time.	Per attestation tick
Proof of Body	Hash of ASIC hardware metrics. Proves physical hardware exists and is operational.	Periodic

7.2 Verified Transactions

TXID	Type	Block	Confirmations
27d638d2215d...cf6ddbaa	Proof of Body	940,939	1,400+
6f2ea6965942...8a1f2c2d	Sigma Merkle	940,940	1,400+

Both transactions use the dd01 magic prefix in a structured wire format. Payloads are independently verifiable on any Bitcoin block explorer.

8. Post-Quantum Cryptography 10/10 PASS

Hybrid classical + post-quantum signatures via ML-DSA (FIPS 204). Quantum-safe key exchange via ML-KEM (FIPS 203). Backward compatible with Ed25519.

10. Security Audit Findings 42/42 RESOLVED

Two rounds of security auditing: initial internal audit (12 findings) and full adversarial penetration test (30 findings). All 42 resolved and verified with regression tests.

10.1 Adversarial Penetration Test (30 Findings -- All Fixed)

Full pentest of daemon, shim, and cloud API covering crypto, auth, network, IPC, process security, and general hardening. Conducted 2026-03-28.

Severity	Found	Resolved	Status
CRITICAL	5	5	ALL FIXED
HIGH	7	7	ALL FIXED
MEDIUM	9	9	ALL FIXED
LOW	5	5	ALL FIXED
INFO	4	4	ALL FIXED
Adversarial Total	30	30	100% RESOLVED

Critical Fixes Applied

Finding	Fix	Impact
AES-GCM nonce from timestamp	Replaced with `ring::rand::SystemRandom` CSPRNG	Eliminates nonce-reuse risk on fast successive calls
Hand-rolled HMAC-SHA256	Replaced with `ring::hmac` (formally verified, constant-time)	Applied across daemon, shim, and cloud
Raw license key in process env	HMAC-SHA256 derived session tokens, server-scoped	License key never leaves signup response
Gate 3 scope bypass via contains()	Path extraction, normalization, `starts_with` checking	Prevents path traversal and scope stuffing
Config rewrite TOCTOU race	`O_NOFOLLOW` + atomic write via temp + rename	Prevents symlink and race condition attacks

High-Severity Fixes Applied

Finding	Fix
JWT secret fallback in production	Panics if `DDOT_JWT_SECRET` not set. CSPRNG fallback in dev only.
CORS permissive()	Explicit origin allowlist via `DDOT_CORS_ORIGINS` env var
License key stored plaintext in DB	SHA-256 hash stored. Raw key returned only once at signup.
IPC no peer verification	`stream.peer_cred()` for UID/PID verification on Unix
Non-JSON messages passed through shim	Dropped with security warning. Only valid JSON-RPC processed.
Cert pinning fallback to unpinned client	Panics on pinning failure instead of silent degradation
Machine fingerprint includes PID	Uses boot time (`kern.boottime`) for stable identity

10.2 Initial Internal Audit (12 Findings -- All Fixed)

Severity	Found	Resolved	Status
CRITICAL	3	3	ALL FIXED
HIGH	4	4	ALL FIXED
MEDIUM	5	5	ALL FIXED
Internal Total	12	12	100% RESOLVED

All findings from both audits have regression tests in the CI pipeline to prevent reintroduction.
