# ISCC - Crypto

[![Tests](https://github.com/iscc/iscc-crypto/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/iscc/iscc-crypto/actions/workflows/test.yml)

`iscc-crypto` is the cryptographic signing and verification module for the [ISCC](https://iscc.codes)
(*International Standard Content Code*) Framework.

> [!CAUTION]
> **This is a proof of concept.** All releases with version numbers below v1.0.0 may break backward
> compatibility. The algorithms and code of this repository are experimental and not part of the official
> [ISO 24138:2024](https://www.iso.org/standard/77899.html) standard. **This library has not undergone a formal
> security audit by independent third parties.** While we strive to follow best practices and have implemented
> various security measures, the absence of an audit means there may be undiscovered vulnerabilities.
> **Therefore, this library should not be used in production environments where strong security guarantees are
> critical.**

## Features

- Ed25519 key generation and management
- JSON canonicalization and signing
- W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Integrity proofs
- Multibase and multikey support
- Cryptographic nonce generation with embedded node identifier
- Command-line interface for key generation and identity management
- Minimal external dependencies for core cryptographic operations

## Installation

Use the package manager [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) to install `iscc-crypto`:

```bash
pip install iscc-crypto
```

## Quick Start

```pycon
>>> import json
>>> import iscc_crypto as icr

>>> keypair = icr.key_from_secret("z3u2So9EAtuYVuxGog4F2ksFGws8YT7pBPs4xyRbv3NJgrNA")

>>> # Sign a JSON document
>>> doc = {"title": "My Document", "content": "Important data"}
>>> signed_doc = icr.sign_json(doc, keypair)

>>> # Show the signed document structure
>>> print(json.dumps(signed_doc, indent=2))
{
  "title": "My Document",
  "content": "Important data",
  "signature": {
    "version": "ISCC-SIG v1.0",
    "pubkey": "z6MkpFpVngrAUTSY6PagXa1x27qZqgdmmy3ZNWSBgyFSvBSx",
    "proof": "z5xCgXk6tGJTVcvrcvVok5XgLn5Mefo49ztwwW8QCmjoySH4ZEkri4XoY2JjiyaD7yD4Na7eoGPqmhPoeM2uvBmF8"
  }
}

>>> # Verify the signed document
>>> icr.verify_json(signed_doc)
VerificationResult(signature_valid=True, identity_verified=None, message=None)
```
