What it does
KeiAuth issues and verifies an identity from an evolving state matrix rather than a static secret or a vendor-specific hardware key. A birth step establishes the identity, an evolution step lets it change over time, and a challenge/verify pair proves possession — a Proof-of-Resonance in the lab's own terminology.
Why not WebAuthn
Hardware-vendor PKI (YubiKey, platform Secure Enclaves) is solid, but it is a third-party trust anchor and a supply-chain dependency. KeiAuth is the lab's own primitive, built to secure its own internal admin surfaces — overlay-network control, lead-generation webhook signing — without that dependency.
Where it stands
The core Rust crate is complete with 57 of 57 tests passing. Integration into the lab's live admin panels is a separate, in-progress track.
