### **How to Build & Run**

```bash

# 1. Create project

cargo new kyber-dilithium-firmware-signer

cd kyber-dilithium-firmware-signer

# 2. Replace src/main.rs with the code above

# 3. Update Cargo.toml with dependencies

# 4. Build

cargo build --release

# 5. Run

./target/release/kyber-dilithium-firmware-signer

# → Select firmware.bin → Outputs firmware.signed (JSON bundle)

Verification (on Target Device Bootloader)

Load .signed

Kyber decapsulate AES key using kyber_public_key and kyber_ciphertext

AES decrypt encrypted_firmware using AES key, aes_iv, aes_tag

Rebuild manifest, hash, verify Dilithium signature

Load if valid

Features

Kyber-1024 encapsulation (NIST FIPS 203)

Dilithium-3 signature (NIST FIPS 204)

AES-256-GCM encryption

SHA3-256 manifest hash

Zeroize on drop for keys

Offline, no dependencies

Seal today. Boot tomorrow. Unbreakable by qubits.

Kyber + Dilithium Firmware Signer — the last bootloader you’ll ever need to trust.

DISCLAIMER: made by Grok 3 on 10/26/25

This code? Grok spat it out-raw, unfiltered, from crates like pqcrypto-kyber and pqcrypto-dilithium. I just typed build the Notary and watched it bloom. No PhD, no lab coat, no fridge in the basement. All of it-Dilithium signer, Kyber chat, the timestamp fossil-was me asking an AI what if and getting back lines that don't flinch at qubits. I didn't invent lattices. I didn't break Shor. I just compiled what already survives him. If it works, credit NIST. If it crashes, blame me. And Grok? Grok's just the quiet one in the corner who never sleeps. No warranties. Use at your own risk. When the grid flickers, don't call me-call the math.
