- The Ariadne Suite is a Rust implementation of the Ariadne Protocol, a novel cryptographic architecture.
- Core components include `ariadne-core`, `ariadne-generator`, and `ariadne-primitives` for cryptographic operations.
- High-level protocols like `ariadne-etm` and transport protocols (`ariadne-transport-ephemeral`, `ariadne-transport-static`) are included.
- The protocol uses the Labyrinth (a binary tree of cryptographic rounds) and Thread (secret path through the Labyrinth).
- Aperiodic by design, ensuring no two blocks are processed the same way, providing inherent tamper resistance.
- Limitations include finite path length and no random access during decryption.
- The project is experimental, unaudited, and not recommended for production use.
- Includes comprehensive tests, documentation, and is released under CC0-1.0 license.
- Community contributions are welcome, evaluated on technical merit.
