Rust protocol lab

VAJRA Secure Link

A secure-link prototype focused on packet structure, handshake clarity, retry behavior, and audit-ready proof.

Secure-link protocol graph with sender, verifier, receiver, and packet flow states.
Prototype under audit

Primary goal

Make the handshake, retry, and verification states visible enough to critique.

Evidence

Handshake diagram, packet traces, code tests, and audit notes.

Limit

The cryptographic claims should remain conservative until reviewed.

What this mission proves

VAJRA is framed as a secure communication lab, not as an overclaimed encryption product. The strongest proof is the ability to show packet states, negative paths, retry decisions, and the limits of the current implementation.

Evidence model

The protocol graph should be paired with packet traces and tests. A recruiter or reviewer should be able to follow the path from a message to its validation result without reverse-engineering the whole repository.

Current limit

Security language must stay precise. Until the code is reviewed and the threat model is explicit, the page should describe a secure-link prototype and audit surface rather than a finished security system.

Mission Timeline

Trace The Work

Each entry keeps the project inspectable by linking a system state to an evidence expectation.

  1. Phase 1

    Packet structure

    Define stable fields, nonce boundaries, and explicit failure states.

  2. Phase 2

    Handshake path

    Map sender, verifier, and receiver behavior so the protocol can be inspected quickly.

  3. Phase 3

    Negative tests

    Add malformed packet, replay, timeout, and retry cases to the proof archive.

  4. Phase 4

    Audit pass

    Publish limitations and review notes alongside the implementation.

Evidence

Proof Slots

These cards are intentionally concrete. Replace placeholder frames with real logs, screenshots, photos, CAD exports, and code traces as they are available.

Symptom
Visitors scrolled, shrugged, and closed the tab. Nothing stuck.
Root cause
The operator hid behind generic panels. Zero risk taken, zero easter eggs shipped.
Fix
Rebuilt as a living lab: boot sequence, command palette, and a public failure log.
