This repository is the **git-published face** of a transparency log of
formal-verification attestations: signed statements that the Lean 4 proofs
of specific software, at specific git commits, re-check with exactly their
documented assumptions. Its first twelve leaves attest four cryptographic
Rust libraries (Ed25519 implementations); as of **entry 13 (2026-07-16)**
the log also attests **its own accumulator machinery** — a kernel-checked
mechanization of the log's security analysis, so the log carries
kernel-checked proofs *about the accumulator model* underlying its own
inclusion and consistency reasoning, as one of its own entries (subject
[`ltl-accumulator-verified`](https://github.com/saymrwulf/ltl-accumulator-verified);
scoped to the mechanized model — it does not prove operator honesty,
signing, or execution provenance). Current head: tree size 13, root
`3488a2d0…`.

"""Standalone verifier for the published Lean Transparency Log.
Pure Python 3 standard library for hashing and structure; Ed25519
signature checking shells out to the `openssl` binary. Verifies, from the
Python 3 standard library ONLY - no pacta, no pip. Verifies, from the
files in this repository alone:
1. every entry's leaf hash,
2. every historical Signed Tree Head against the recomputed prefix root
(a split view or tampered entry fails here),
3. every STH Ed25519 signature,
4. every published receipt under receipts/ (with --all), and any receipt
supplied via --receipt FILE, as a FULL transparency receipt: type tag,
STH signature, REQUIRED key fingerprint, log id, presence of its STH
in the published history, REQUIRED leaf hash matching the named entry,
tree-size agreement, and the inclusion proof. Binding fields are
required, never compare-if-present.
FAIL-CLOSED: if signature checking is unavailable (no `openssl`, or the
public key is missing), the run FAILS signatures are load-bearing and a
"couldn't check" is not a pass. Use --structural-only to explicitly ask
for hashes/structure without signatures (it prints, and exits, as a
reduced check, never as full verification).
(this is the witness check: a split view or tampered entry fails here),
3. every STH Ed25519 signature (via the openssl binary, if available),
4. any receipt's inclusion proof (--receipt FILE).
Usage:
python3 verify.py --all
python3 verify.py --receipt receipts/dalek-ed25519-verified.receipt.json
python3 verify.py --all --structural-only # explicit reduced check
