+# Regulatory Compliance Mapping
+
+> **How the Capsule protocol maps to the frameworks your auditors care about.**
+
+---
+
+## Scope
+
+This directory maps **protocol-level** capabilities to regulatory controls. Every mapping describes what the Capsule Protocol Specification (CPS) itself provides: structured records, cryptographic sealing, hash chain integrity, and cross-language verification.
+
+Application-level controls (access management, network security, operational procedures) are the responsibility of the deployment environment, not the protocol.
+
+---
+
+## FIPS Algorithm Compliance
+
+| Algorithm | FIPS Standard | Status | Capsule Usage |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| SHA3-256 | FIPS 202 (SHA-3) | Published August 2015 | Content hashing for every Capsule |
+| Ed25519 | FIPS 186-5 (Digital Signatures) | Published February 2023 | Required signature on every Capsule |
+| ML-DSA-65 | FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) | Published August 2024 | Optional post-quantum dual signature |
+
+All three algorithms are NIST-standardized. No deprecated or non-standard cryptography is used.

+## Cross-Language Conformance
+
+Capsule sealed in any language can be verified in any other. The Capsule Protocol Specification (CPS) defines:
+
+- Byte-level canonical JSON serialization rules
+- 16 golden test vectors covering all CapsuleTypes, Unicode, fractional timestamps, chain sequences, empty vs null, deep nesting, and failure paths
+- SHA3-256 hash determinism across implementations
+
+Python and TypeScript reference implementations are available now. All conformant implementations produce byte-identical canonical JSON and matching SHA3-256 hashes for the golden test vectors.
+
+See [CPS Specification](../../spec/) for protocol details.
