research/README research/     partner 209 # research/ The curator's syntheses across the suite, and two dated reference pages Claude drafted for the core-group release. These govern on the suite as a whole inside the vault; the specifications govern on the protocol. - **[[300-Research/310-KERISuite/research/KERI_Reference_skinny|KERI_Reference_skinny.md]]**: the two-page summary; the default load when KERI knowledge is needed. - **[[300-Research/310-KERISuite/research/KERI_Synthesis|KERI_Synthesis.md]]**: the full synthesis (~28k words) across KERI, ACDC, CESR, and TSP, verified against the v1.0 specifications; for reasoning across primitives, trade-offs against PKI, OIDC, and DID, and technical writing. Subsumes the skinny version. - **[[300-Research/310-KERISuite/research/KERI_Cryptography|KERI_Cryptography.md]]**: algorithm-level detail and Samuel M. Smith's design philosophy: the algorithm set, the signature, digest, and seal trichotomy, the pre-rotation proof, ESSR, trust versus privacy. Companion to [[300-Research/330-Cryptography/Security_Architecture_Reasoning|Security_Architecture_Reasoning.md]]. - **[[300-Research/310-KERISuite/research/cipher-suites|cipher-suites.md]]**: the CESR code tables against keripy's, primitive by primitive, with the differences and the post-quantum state (October 2026; drafted by Claude, not yet reviewed by the curator). - **[[300-Research/310-KERISuite/research/state-of-the-suite-2026-10|state-of-the-suite-2026-10.md]]**: what is approved, in flight, implemented where, and open, dated and sourced (drafted by Claude, not yet reviewed by the curator; refreshed after each implementers' call). - **[[300-Research/310-KERISuite/research/hardman-grand-unified-theory-2023|hardman-grand-unified-theory-2023.md]]**: notes on Daniel Hardman's 2023 unified-theory paper. - **[[300-Research/310-KERISuite/research/IPEX-draft-ssmith-2023|IPEX-draft-ssmith-2023.md]]**: notes on the 2023 IPEX draft. Rule of thumb for a session: read the skinny version first; escalate to the synthesis only when the skinny version is insufficient.
