# saymrwulf

**I verify the systems society uses to agree on things.** Signatures, votes,
certificates, money, consensus — built, accelerated, and increasingly
machine-checked. Trust-systems engineering for institutions: the
cryptographic substrate (PKI, HSM, PQC) that survives the move from
operations to research and back.

The thesis has been the same for twenty years: how order arises from local
rules in noisy adversarial networks, and what cryptographic primitives make
that order legible to regulators, auditors, and downstream systems.

## Start here

- **[dalek-ed25519-verified](https://zkdefi.org/saymrwulf/dalek-ed25519-verified)** — machine-checked proofs, in Lean 4, that the ed25519 code everyone ships is correct. Three production forks get the same treatment ([Solana](https://zkdefi.org/saymrwulf/anza-ed25519-verified), [RISC Zero](https://zkdefi.org/saymrwulf/risc0-ed25519-verified), [Betrusted](https://zkdefi.org/saymrwulf/betrusted-ed25519-verified)).
- **[verifying-crypto-with-lean](https://zkdefi.org/saymrwulf/verifying-crypto-with-lean)** — the 106-page book that teaches you to read (and extend) those proofs, from `1+1=2` up.
- **[swisspost-evoting-go-poc](https://zkdefi.org/saymrwulf/swisspost-evoting-go-poc)** — Switzerland's federal e-voting protocol, distilled from 500K lines of Java to 52 Go files.
- **[crisis](https://zkdefi.org/saymrwulf/crisis)** — DAG-BFT consensus by virtual voting, with a ten-chapter slow-motion visualizer.

## Where else

- **[blog.zkdefi.org](https://blog.zkdefi.org/)** — one post per repo, the reasoning behind the code. Best reading order: blog post first, then repo.
- **[zkdefi.com](https://zkdefi.com/)** — the CV.

## What this instance is

The authoritative mirror of every repository at `github.com/saymrwulf`,
pulled every 24 hours, plus a daily reconciler for new repos. Issues are
not mirrored — open them upstream on GitHub. If GitHub ever disagrees
with this instance, this instance is the one I operate.
