Advanced Topics

This section covers advanced ZAP features including post-quantum cryptography, distributed consensus, decentralized identity, and blockchain integration.

Security Architecture

ZAP implements defense-in-depth security:

  1. Transport Layer: Post-quantum hybrid TLS (X25519 + ML-KEM-768)
  2. Message Layer: ML-DSA-65 signatures for authentication
  3. Identity Layer: W3C DIDs with on-chain verification
  4. Consensus Layer: Ringtail threshold signing

When to Use Advanced Features

FeatureUse Case
PQ-TLSLong-term data protection against quantum attacks
RingtailMulti-party signing without single point of failure
Agent ConsensusAggregating responses from multiple AI agents
W3C DIDDecentralized identity without central authority
Lux IntegrationOn-chain verification and staking
