| Threat Vector | JL‑SPP Mitigation | |---------------|-------------------| | (server breach) | Verifiers are encrypted with AES‑GCM‑SIV; even if ciphertext is stolen, the attacker lacks the master key and the Argon2id pre‑hash adds computational cost. | | Online Guessing | NIZKP is bound to a fresh session nonce; replay attempts are rejected. Rate‑limiting can be added at the API gateway. | | Quantum Adversary | The security of Ring‑LWE is based on worst‑case lattice problems that have no known polynomial‑time quantum algorithms. | | Side‑Channel Leakage | All public‑facing operations (hashing, NIZKP verification, verifier comparison) run in constant time; the library is audited against timing and cache‑timing attacks. | | Key‑Compromise Impersonation | Master key for verifier encryption lives in a dedicated KMS (AWS KMS, HashiCorp Vault, or Azure Key Vault). Rotation is supported without re‑enrolling users. | | Man‑in‑the‑Middle (MITM) | All network traffic should be protected with TLS 1.3; the proof includes a server‑generated challenge bound to the TLS session transcript. |
