Signet Core™

The cryptographic engine the whole platform is built on.

Overview

The cryptographic engine the whole platform is built on.

Signet Core is the cryptographic and data engine every Signet module is built on — FIPS-track AES-256-GCM, SHA-2/3 and HKDF alongside the NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms ML-KEM-768 and ML-DSA-65, plus the tamper-evident audit-chain and verifiable crypto-erasure primitives the rest of the platform depends on.

Capabilities

What it delivers

01

Post-quantum by default

ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204), with hybrid X25519 + ML-KEM key establishment.

02

FIPS-track classical suite

AES-256-GCM, SHA-2 / SHA-3, HKDF and DRBG, with hardware acceleration.

03

Audit-chain & erasure

Tamper-evident hash-chaining and verifiable crypto-erasure, reused across every module.

04

Crypto-agile

Algorithms sit behind a selectable interface, so new standards drop in without re-architecting.

05

Encrypted Parquet — Signet Forge

A companion library brings modular + post-quantum encryption to Apache Parquet — with a WebAssembly demo you can try in your browser. See Signet Forge →

Status, stated honestly
A library and engine, in active use across the platform — not a standalone app. FIPS 140-3 module validation (CMVP) is in preparation, not yet certified.
Part of the Signet Data Trust Network Platform — built on Signet Core and the platform's shared cryptographic foundation.
