Wanted: Security Audit of Key Rotation Semantics #3

@chrishooooo-netizen

Description

@chrishooooo-netizen

TRAIL DIDs use EdDSA (Ed25519) with JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS). We need a security review of:

  • Key rotation mechanism - How agents update their verification methods without breaking existing trust chains.
  • Revocation propagation timing - How fast does a revoked key become untrusted across the network?
  • Recovery scenarios - Compromised agent key, compromised registry key, partial network partition.

Threat model:

  • Malicious agent impersonation
  • Registry compromise
  • MITM during DID resolution
  • Replay attacks with stale DID documents

If you have cryptographic protocol review experience, this is a high-impact contribution.
