Verify any signed report without contacting us.

Every report SkyeConnex produces is dual-signed with HMAC-SHA-256 and ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204). The ML-DSA-87 verification key is published here for pinning. Once pinned, you can verify any signed report entirely offline against the published key — using Python pqcrypto, Open Quantum Safe liboqs, AWS-LC, or any FIPS 204 verifier.

Fingerprint shown for illustration. Production keys are rotated and published live at app.skyeconnex.com/security with both fingerprint and raw base64 key. A machine-readable JSON variant at /api/security/posture returns the same data for automated procurement scans.

Certification posture

Where we are on every standard buyers ask about.

  1. Ready

    Every primitive in active use is NIST-published. ML-KEM-1024 and ML-DSA-87 in production. Cryptographic boundary candidates identified. Test suite already produces KAT-style round-trip evidence.

  2. CC EAL2-3

    Plausible

    Platform module is well-scoped for protection-profile selection.

  3. SOC 2 II

    Evidence in place

    Full audit-log and access-control infrastructure is in place. Evidence-collection plumbing exists.

  4. ISO 27001/27018

    Instrumented

    Encryption at rest and in transit, key management, and access logging all instrumented.

  5. Architecture fit IL2–IL5

    Geo-fencing supports US-only deployment regions. Continuous monitoring (provider heartbeats) running in production.

  6. Reference implementation

    SCC Technical Committee on Data Sovereignty engaged. Gap analysis: zero Critical, zero Material indicators outstanding at the Sovereign / Defence tier.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which cryptographic primitives are in active use?

AES-256-GCM (FIPS 197 + SP 800-38D) for frame encryption. AES Key Wrap (SP 800-38F / RFC 3394) for DEK wrapping. ML-KEM-1024 (FIPS 203) for hybrid post-quantum key wrap on Sovereign tier. ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204) for post-quantum signatures. HMAC-SHA-256 (FIPS 198-1) for legacy report verify. SHA-256 (FIPS 180-4) for integrity and provenance. HKDF-SHA-256 (SP 800-56C Rev 2) for hybrid combiner. scrypt (RFC 7914) for password-derived KEK. TLS 1.3 (SP 800-52 Rev 2) for transport. No proprietary algorithms.

Can I verify a signed report offline?

Yes. The issuer's ML-DSA-87 public key is published at /security as a SHA-256 fingerprint (for pinning) and as raw base64 (for direct use). Pin the fingerprint, then run any FIPS 204 verifier — Python pqcrypto, Open Quantum Safe liboqs, AWS-LC — to verify any signed report envelope without contacting the platform.

Is SkyeConnex FIPS 140-3 certified?

FIPS 140-3 module certification is in progress. Every primitive in active use is NIST-published; the test suite already produces KAT-style round-trip evidence; cryptographic boundary candidates are identified. The certification path is compressed because the platform uses no proprietary algorithms.

How are keys rotated?

The User Master Key (UMK) is versioned; the gateway tracks UMK versions on every write. Re-wraps are auditable and reversible. Tier changes are recovery-neutral by construction: both wrapped UMK variants (password and PQ-hybrid) are unwrap-attempted on every login, so moving between tiers never affects recoverability of previously encrypted files.

How do I report a security vulnerability?
