Berkeley Transport Protocol (BTP): A Post-Quantum Application Substrate with Witness-Anchored Identity

Authors/Creators

Description

This whitepaper accompanies the BTP v0.7.0 reference implementation
  at https://git.securityops.co/cristiancmoises/btp. The normative
  protocol specification (SPEC.md and the family of SPEC-*.md addenda)
  is the load-bearing artefact; this paper summarises and contextualises
  those specifications.

  Status of the protocol: pre-1.0. The remaining v1.0 gates are
  operational, not implementation; see §10 of the paper for the
  complete list. The conformance test suite is included in v0.7.0
  (29 normative test vectors); the reference implementation passes
  29/29 MUST-level vectors.

  The author retains the BTP trademark per TRADEMARK.md in the
  source repository. The text of this whitepaper is CC-BY 4.0;
  the reference implementation is Apache-2.0.
