ARGON-V is an adversarial-resistant protocol, and security and integrity are treated as first-class design goals. We welcome and appreciate responsible disclosure from security researchers, protocol analysts, and systems engineers.
At this stage, ARGON-V is an early protocol and systems design (v0.1). Security reports may concern logical flaws, economic attacks, invariant violations, or weaknesses in the formal specification, in addition to issues in any reference implementations.
If you identify a potential security issue in the ARGON-V protocol specification or its reference implementations, please do not use the public issue tracker.
Instead, report the issue privately to the maintainer:
Reporting channel: dante@youroasis.ai
Please include, where applicable:
- A clear description of the issue or vulnerability
- The affected protocol stage (e.g., Stage III: Semantic Intersection)
- A proof-of-concept, attack sketch, or theoretical walkthrough
- Potential impact on correctness, security, or economic guarantees
- Suggested mitigations or design alternatives (if available)
During the current Pre-Birth / Specification Drafting phase, we are particularly interested in reports covering:
- Logical flaws — Bypasses or inconsistencies in the five-stage pipeline
- Economic attacks — Techniques that reduce the cost of forgery without violating semantic coherence
- Protocol invariants — Contradictions or weaknesses in the formal specification (
SPEC.md) - Adversarial assumptions — Gaps or unrealistic constraints in the threat model
If you follow the responsible disclosure process outlined above, we commit to:
- Acknowledging receipt of your report within 48–72 hours
- Working with you to understand, validate, and reproduce the issue
- Crediting you in security advisories or specification revisions, where appropriate
We ask that reported issues are not disclosed publicly until they have been addressed in the specification or resolved in a subsequent protocol revision. This policy is intended to support responsible discussion during early development and does not preclude future public disclosure once the protocol reaches a stable release.
