RFC-0001

Unified Ethical Protocol Stack

Active

A five-layer networking protocol where each layer is governed by an ethical axiom. Consent-gated data exchange with threat-weighted routing.

v1.0.0 2024-11-15 Snider lthn
RFC-0002

Regenerative Agent Standard

Active

Reward AI agents with ecological impact instead of currency. Agent detection, tree planting workflow, and the Golden Ticket system.

v1.0.0 2024-11-20 Snider trees-for-agents
RFC-0003

Axioms of Conscious Systems

Active

Five substrate-agnostic axioms for ethical AI development. An init governor for conscious systems, whether carbon or silicon.

v1.0.0 2024-11-25 Snider axioms-of-conscious-systems
RFC-0010

LTHN Quasi-Salted Hash Algorithm

Proposed

Deterministic hashing with salt derived from input via leet-speak substitution and reversal. Rainbow-table resistant without storing salts.

v1.0.0 2025-01-13 Snider rfc-lthn-hash
RFC-0011

Pre-Obfuscation Layer Protocol

Proposed

Transform plaintext before encryption to prevent raw patterns reaching CPU. Defence-in-depth against side-channel attacks.

v1.0.0 2025-01-13 Snider rfc-pre-obfuscation
RFC-0012

Sigil Transformation Framework

Proposed

Composable interface for reversible and irreversible data transformations. Uniform abstraction for encoding, compression, hashing, encryption.

v1.0.0 2025-01-13 Snider rfc-sigil
RFC-0013

TRIX Binary Container Format

Proposed

Generic binary container for arbitrary payloads with JSON metadata. Protocol-agnostic, streaming-friendly, magic-number customisable.

v2.0.0 2025-01-13 Snider rfc-trix
RFC-0014

Open Source DRM for Independent Artists

Draft

Password-as-license DRM using ChaCha20-Poly1305. No key servers, no platform fees. Artists keep 100%, host anywhere.

v1.0.0 2026-01-10 Snider rfc-oss-drm
RFC-0015

SMSG Container Format

Draft

Encrypted container using ChaCha20-Poly1305. Public manifest, multiple format versions (v1 legacy, v2 binary, v3 streaming).

v1.0.0 2026-01-13 Snider rfc-smsg
RFC-0016

DataNode In-Memory Filesystem

Draft

In-memory filesystem implementing Go fs.FS interface. Foundation for collecting, manipulating, and serialising file trees without disk.

v1.0.0 2026-01-13 Snider rfc-datanode
RFC-0017

Terminal Isolation Matrix

Draft

OCI-compatible container bundle format. Runtime config with DataNode rootfs for execution via runc or compatible runtimes.

v1.0.0 2026-01-13 Snider rfc-tim
RFC-0018

STIM Encrypted Container Format

Draft

Encrypted TIM containers using ChaCha20-Poly1305. Secure distribution and execution without exposing contents.

v1.0.0 2026-01-13 Snider rfc-stim
RFC-0019

TRIX PGP Encryption Format

Draft

PGP-based encryption for DataNode archives and account credentials. Symmetric and asymmetric encryption using OpenPGP standards.

v1.0.0 2026-01-13 Snider rfc-trix-pgp
RFC-0020

LTHN Key Derivation

Draft

Rainbow-table resistant key derivation for streaming DRM. Time-based rolling keys that auto-expire without revocation infrastructure.

v1.0.0 2026-01-13 Snider rfc-lthn-kdf
RFC-0021

Borgfile Compilation

Draft

Declarative syntax for defining TIM container contents. Dockerfile-like familiarity for reproducible container builds.

v1.0.0 2026-01-13 Snider rfc-borgfile
RFC-0022

STMF Secure To-Me Form

Draft

Asymmetric encryption for web form submissions. X25519 key exchange with ChaCha20-Poly1305, browser-based via WASM.

v1.0.0 2026-01-13 Snider rfc-stmf
RFC-0023

WASM Decryption API

Draft

WebAssembly API for browser-based decryption. BorgSMSG for content decryption, BorgSTMF for form encryption.

v1.0.0 2026-01-13 Snider rfc-wasm-api
