Structural Authentication
Five things, in order.
One bootstrap, post-quantum.
Two parties exchange a single handshake using NIST-standardised post-quantum primitives. Both sides derive the same in-memory state. The bootstrap material is then discarded.
Both sides hold identical state in volatile memory.
No persistent secret on disk. No certificate to renew. No central authority to phone home to. The state lives only where it has to live: in memory at each endpoint.
Each request is an ephemeral credential.
The client builds a credential from the shared state and from public ambient inputs. The server independently builds the expected credential. Match? Authenticated. Mismatch? Rejected.
The state ratchets forward, autonomously.
Both sides advance their state through one-way functions on a schedule that needs no further communication. Years can pass between observations. Authentication still holds.
Resilience absorbs noise without weakening security.
Independent design parameters control security level and operational resilience separately. Transient ratchet ticks, oracle hiccups, schema transitions, and clock drift are absorbed transparently.
