+# noqtis for Python
+
+Post-quantum signatures, key encapsulation, hashes and sealed file
+capsules, from the [noqtis](https://github.com/rootcoder007/noqtis) C
+library. The library is compiled into the package: no runtime
+dependencies, and wheels for Linux (glibc and musl), macOS and Windows on
+x86-64 and arm64, one abi3 wheel per platform for CPython 3.9 and later.
+
+| Family | Algorithms | Standard |
+|---|---|---|
+| Signatures | ML-DSA-44/65/87 | FIPS 204 |
+| | SLH-DSA-SHA2 and SLH-DSA-SHAKE, 128/192/256, s and f | FIPS 205 |
+| | Ed25519; hybrids ML-DSA-44/65/87+Ed25519 (both parts must verify) | RFC 8032 |

+| Hashes | SHA-224 ... SHA-512/256, SHA3-224 ... SHA3-512, SHAKE128/256, HMAC | FIPS 180-4, FIPS 202 |
+
+```sh
+pip install noqtis      # or: uv add noqtis

+
+## Signatures
+
+```python
+from noqtis import sign
+
+pk, sk = sign.keygen("ML-DSA-65")
+sig = sign.sign("ML-DSA-65", sk, b"message", ctx=b"app-v1")
+assert sign.verify("ML-DSA-65", pk, b"message", sig, ctx=b"app-v1")
+```
+
+- `keygen(alg, seed=None)` returns `(pk, sk)`; a seed gives the
+  standard's deterministic key pair.
+- `sign(alg, sk, msg, ctx=b"", deterministic=False, prehash=None)`:
+  `prehash="SHA-512"` (or any name from `noqtis.hashes()`) selects
+  HashML-DSA / HashSLH-DSA; `msg` is still the message.
+- `verify(...)` returns `True` or `False`; it never raises for a bad or
+  malformed signature.
+
+## Key encapsulation
+
+```python
+from noqtis import kem
+
+pk, sk = kem.keygen("ML-KEM-768")
+ct, ss = kem.encap("ML-KEM-768", pk)
+assert kem.decap("ML-KEM-768", sk, ct) == ss
+```
+
+A tampered ciphertext decapsulates to an unrelated secret rather than an
+error (implicit rejection, as FIPS 203 requires).
+
+## Hashes
+
+```python
+import noqtis
+
+noqtis.hash("SHA3-256", b"abc")
+noqtis.hash("SHAKE256", b"abc", 100)   # 100 bytes of output
+noqtis.hmac("SHA-256", b"key", b"data")
+```
+
+## Capsules
+
+A capsule is a folder sealed with a manifest of every file in it
+(`noqtis.json`) and a post-quantum signature over it (`noqtis.sig`).
+
+```python
+import noqtis
+
+pk, sk = noqtis.sign.keygen("ML-DSA-65")
+noqtis.seal("results/", sk, pk, meta={"project": "survey-2026"})
+
+report = noqtis.check("results/", pk)
+print(report.ok)            # True only if every check passed
+for row in report.rows:     # (check, ok, detail)
+    print(row)
+```
+
+Without `pk`, `check` trusts the key inside the seal and its report says
+so. `anchors=[der, ...]` requires an RFC 3161 timestamp under one of the
+given TSA certificates.
+
+### Format 2, proofs and lineage
+
+`seal(..., format=2)` adds a Merkle tree over the files to the manifest
+and signs its head. `prove` then shows some files to a reader without
+the names or digests of the others:
+
+```python
+noqtis.seal("results/", sk, pk, format=2)
+proof = noqtis.prove("results/", ["tables/t1.csv"])    # bytes (JSON)
+noqtis.check(proof=proof, pk=pk).ok                    # the proof alone
+noqtis.check("results/", pk, proof=proof).ok           # and the files
+```
+
+`seal(..., inputs=["raw/", ("cleaned", "clean/")])` records the capsules
+this one was made from, by id (`noqtis.capid(dir)`, 32 bytes);
+`check(dir, pk, lineage=["raw/", "clean/"])` finds each input among those
+folders and checks it, to 64 levels. `check(dir, pk, only=["a.csv"])`
+checks just those files (a "partial" row says so). `noqtis.files(dir)`
+lists what the manifest holds, `File(path, size, sha256)`, with nothing
+checked.
+
+### Key statements
+
+```python
+st = noqtis.rotate(old_sk, old_pk, new_sk, new_pk, reason="yearly")
+noqtis.check("results/", old_pk, keys=[st]).ok   # sealed by the new key
+rv = noqtis.revoke(old_sk, old_pk, at=1767225600)
+```
+
+A statement (bytes, or a file path) needs `pk`, the trusted key. With
+it, `check` accepts a seal by a key the trusted key was rotated to, and
+requires a verified timestamp from before a seal key was rotated away or
+revoked. Ed25519 alone cannot make statements.
+
+## DSSE envelopes
+
+```python
+from noqtis import dsse
+
+env = dsse.sign("ML-DSA-65", sk, pk, "application/vnd.in-toto+json", stmt)
+dsse.verify("ML-DSA-65", pk, env)   # Signed(type, payload), or None
+```
+
+The envelope (in-toto and SLSA's signing wrapper) is canonical JSON with
+one signature over the pre-authentication encoding; its keyid is the hex
+SHA-256 of `pk`. `verify` returns `None` when no signature verifies and
+raises `DecodeError` for text that is not an envelope.
+
+## Key files
+
+`noqtis.keyfile` reads and writes the text key files `noqtis keygen`
+makes (`noqtis-key-1 <alg> <pub|sec>`, then base64), as strictly as the
+command-line tool reads them:
+
+```python
+from noqtis import keyfile
+
+k = keyfile.read("me", "sec")      # Key(alg, kind, key); "me.pub" for pub
+noqtis.sign.sign(k.alg, k.key, b"a message")
+
+pk, sk = noqtis.sign.keygen("ML-DSA-65")
+keyfile.write("you", "ML-DSA-65", "sec", sk)      # owner-only, no overwrite
+keyfile.write("you.pub", "ML-DSA-65", "pub", pk)
+text = keyfile.encode("ML-DSA-65", "pub", pk)     # the same text, as a str
+assert keyfile.decode(text).key == pk
+```
+
+`write` never replaces a file unless `force=True`. Python's base64 is not
+constant time: decode secret key files where timing is not observable.
+
+## Errors
+
+Every failure raises a subclass of `noqtis.NoqtisError`, one per library
+error code: `ArgError`, `BufError`, `VerifyError`, `DecodeError`,
+`RandError`, `MemError`, `FileError`, `UnsupportedError`, `LimitError`,
+`StateError`. Each has `.code`, the library's `NQE*` value.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Inputs may be `bytes`, `bytearray` or `memoryview`; outputs are `bytes`.
+  Python cannot wipe `bytes`, so secret keys and shared secrets you hold
+  in Python live until the garbage collector frees them.
+- Long operations release the GIL, so threads sign and verify in parallel.
+- The package is typed (`py.typed`).
+
+Licensed under Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception.
