Protocol Engineering
Protocol integrity from specification to operations
Protocol programs combine specification analysis, implementation validation, and operational controls to preserve deterministic behavior under adversarial pressure.
Phase 01
Specification analysis
Formal specifications are reviewed against runtime constraints and integration boundaries. Critical invariants are identified and translated into executable verification artifacts.
Phase 02
Implementation verification
Client and service implementations are tested for deterministic state transitions, consensus edge cases, and failure-handling behavior. Divergence between intended and observed behavior is treated as a primary risk surface.
Phase 03
Operational hardening
Production controls include key management discipline, upgrade path safety checks, telemetry for protocol anomalies, and incident response playbooks anchored to protocol semantics.
