M7 C Crypto releases and integrity

Current public release

0.3.0 is a publicly verified source release, released 2026-10-11. ZIP and tar.gz require compilation and contain the same source, MTL-10 notices, standalone docs/INSTALL.md build/installation/activation/upgrade/rollback guide, MANIFEST.json and CHECKSUMS.sha256. No precompiled binaries are offered. All six public files have been retrieved and matched to the reviewed local bundle.

Start with checksum-first installation. The AlmaLinux C/PHP walkthrough starts with C; C-only consumers can stop before PHP.

Source tag: m7-c-crypto-v0.3.0. Source commit: 6ba4cac742802d1154a229145a2a134250eb3b19. Two independent clean source rebuilds reproduce all six files byte-for-byte. Stored ZIP entries and fixed stored DEFLATE blocks in gzip avoid compressor-version differences, at the cost of compression ratio. Both manifest sidecars are identical to each other and to the embedded manifest. Each checksum sidecar covers its complete archive; embedded checksums inventory the allowlisted payload. Checksums detect mismatches, not publisher identity. Obtain the files through the trusted HTTPS channel.

Exact supported validation matrix

Platform Runtime and acceptance
AlmaLinux 10.2 aarch64, isolated container OpenSSL 3.5.8 default provider, GCC 14.3.1; all-profile C correctness and ASan/UBSan with leak detection passed
macOS 26.6.1 arm64 OpenSSL 3.6.3; all-profile C correctness, UBSan trap mode and four native leak checks passed; ASan was not run

These results cover the exact offered 0.3.0 source payload. All 18 signing/MAC profiles, generation/export, RSA-OAEP-256 and unavailable-provider/failure paths were exercised. Linux PHP memory checks covered signing (1,000 cycles), key generation (three cycles/profile) and encryption (1,000 cycles), with zero errors and no definite/indirect/possible leaks; still-reachable runtime allocations were reported separately. Memory tests cover exercised paths, not exhaustive fuzzing.

Linux results are from an isolated container, including fresh CLI/FPM activation, 0.2-to-0.3 upgrade, rollback and reactivation tests. Production SELinux labeling, application-worker deployment and other architectures remain deployment-specific checks. Additional PHP versions, ZTS/debug builds and precompiled binaries are not validated by this release. PHP's 8.4+ compile gate does not expand the tested matrix. C-only consumers do not need PHP.

Immutable versions and historical evidence

Published archives and sidecars are immutable. Changed archive content requires a new version; separately maintained public documentation may be corrected without replacing archive bytes. A candidate, tagged local bundle, staged files, installed runtime and publicly verified release remain distinct states.

The September 20 macOS 0.3.0 candidate and older Linux 0.1/0.2 installation records remain historical evidence; they did not prove this final release. Current final-artifact acceptance is stated above. Source 0.3 adds the additive RSA-OAEP-256 encryption API and source-distribution tooling; 0.2 added generation and PEM export; 0.1 established import and signing/verification.

Native crypto remains optional for ordinary Identity SDK use. It does not select trusted algorithms or supply keys. The current browser session path stores complete JWTs in single cookies: ML-DSA-65/87 signatures alone exceed cookie limits and ML-DSA-44 depends on payload size. This release does not change that storage contract. See browser limits.
