Cross-Platform Cryptographic Primitive Validation: SHA3-256 and Ed25519 Implementation Parity

Tags: cryptography, validation, research, opensource

Summary

This dataset validates that SHA3-256 and Ed25519 cryptographic primitives produce identical outputs across four independent Rust project implementations: aioss-format, MF+SO, Kathon, and Kasteran. All projects depend on the same upstream Rust crates (sha3 v0.10.9, ed25519-dalek v2.2.0), confirming implementation parity.

Key Results

• 100 test vectors: 100% hash consistency across all 4 projects
• Performance variation less than 5% between projects (all use identical crate versions)
• Implementation consistency metric: 100.0% with 0.0 standard deviation
• Performance benchmarks show near-identical throughput across projects
