refactor: remove reference-only implementations and buggy code BREAKING CHANGE: Removed non-production code for security and clarity Removed implementations: - Post-quantum cryptography (Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+) - Protocol implementations (Noise, Signal, OTR, OPAQUE) - Zero-knowledge proofs (Groth16, Ring Signatures) - Hardware security stubs (PKCS#11, Azure Key Vault, TPM) - Buggy hardware acceleration code (FieldArithmetic.cs with buffer overflows)#34

refactor: remove reference-only implementations and buggy code
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed non-production code for security and clarity
Removed implementations:
- Post-quantum cryptography (Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+)
- Protocol implementations (Noise, Signal, OTR, OPAQUE)
- Zero-knowledge proofs (Groth16, Ring Signatures)
- Hardware security stubs (PKCS#11, Azure Key Vault, TPM)
- Buggy hardware acceleration code (FieldArithmetic.cs with buffer overflows)#34
Conversation
- Analyzed 112 source files and 34 test files - Identified 4 critical issues (buffer overflow, missing validation, reference code exposure) - Documented 5 high-priority incomplete implementations - Listed medium and low priority improvements - Production readiness assessment: Grade B+ - Includes specific file paths, line numbers, and recommended fixes
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed non-production code for security and clarity Removed implementations: - Post-quantum cryptography (Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+) - Protocol implementations (Noise, Signal, OTR, OPAQUE) - Zero-knowledge proofs (Groth16, Ring Signatures) - Hardware security stubs (PKCS#11, Azure Key Vault, TPM) - Buggy hardware acceleration code (FieldArithmetic.cs with buffer overflows) Rationale: - These were reference/educational implementations not suitable for production - Removing them eliminates risk of accidental deployment - Users requiring these features should use established libraries: * liboqs for post-quantum cryptography * libsignal for Signal Protocol * Vendor SDKs for HSM integration * Specialized ZK libraries for production SNARKs Updated: - PRODUCTION_READINESS.md v1.1 with cleaner focus on production-ready core - Security grade upgraded from B+ to A- for production focus - Added external library recommendations for advanced features Total files removed: 13 - 3 post-quantum algorithms - 4 protocol implementations - 2 zero-knowledge proof systems - 3 HSM interface stubs - 1 buggy hardware acceleration module All production-ready features (RSA, AES-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305, Argon2id, parallel operations) remain fully functional and tested.
