## Critical Vulnerabilities Fixed
|
||||
|
||||
### Before Audit: 🔴 INSECURE
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// ❌ XOR cipher (trivially broken)
|
||||
let ciphertext: Vec<u8> = plaintext.iter()
|
||||
.zip(self.encrypt_key.iter().cycle())
|
||||
.map(|(p, k)| p ^ k)
|
||||
.collect();
|
||||
|
||||
// ❌ Random bytes (not post-quantum secure)
|
||||
let public = (0..1184).map(|_| rng.gen()).collect();
|
||||
let secret = (0..2400).map(|_| rng.gen()).collect();
|
||||
|
||||
// ❌ Timing leak in MAC verification
|
||||
expected.as_slice() == signature
|
||||
|
||||
// ❌ Secrets not zeroized
|
||||
pub struct PostQuantumKeypair {
|
||||
secret: Vec<u8>, // Stays in memory!
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### After Audit: ✅ SECURE
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// ✅ ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD (IND-CCA2 secure)
|
||||
let cipher = ChaCha20Poly1305::new(&key.into());
|
||||
let ciphertext = cipher.encrypt(nonce, plaintext)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ CRYSTALS-Kyber-1024 (post-quantum secure)
|
||||
let (public, secret) = kyber1024::keypair();
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Constant-time comparison (timing-safe)
|
||||
expected.ct_eq(signature).into()
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Automatic zeroization
|
||||
#[derive(Zeroize, ZeroizeOnDrop)]
|
||||
struct SecretKeyWrapper(Vec<u8>);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
