The design uses established standards and research as design inputs. These references explain the underlying primitives; they do not certify the Kanari implementation.

Citation policy

Normative protocol behavior is defined by the Kanari source code, tests, and versioned migration notes. External papers and standards are cited to explain terminology and security assumptions only. When an implementation differs from a cited paper or standard, this document intentionally describes the implementation rather than implying equivalence.
