Everything crypto.md section 3 describes below the identity key, which is what the desktop client needs before it can enroll or store anything. DshAad gives every descriptor in the specification a named constructor. The AAD binding is the most valuable structural property in the design -- it is what stops a server holding every ciphertext from pasting one row's bytes onto another, rolling a row back to a superseded generation, or replaying a revoked grant -- and all of it depends on callers getting purpose, resource type and ids right at every single call site. Hand-constructing descriptors makes that a matter of care; picking a method name makes it a matter of spelling. UserSecretBundle holds private keys in libsodium's guarded, mlocked allocations rather than a byte[], so they are not paged out and do not land in a core dump. They are created exportable, deliberately: re-wrapping the same bundle for a passphrase change or a new device needs to re-encode it, and the alternative -- a long-lived managed array so the keys need not be exportable -- keeps the identical secret in strictly worse memory. Every export is into a buffer zeroed before the method returns. Two spec changes, both found by implementing it, which is the argument for writing code before calling a spec frozen: - MK is 64 bytes, not 32. Skipping HKDF-Extract is correct for an Argon2id output (RFC 5869 3.3), but it means MK *is* the PRK, and .NET's HKDF.Expand rejects a PRK shorter than the hash output -- so a 32-byte MK cannot be expanded with SHA-512 at all. Widening it keeps the specified primitive; the alternatives were dropping to SHA-256 or adding an Extract step that conditions nothing. - The bundle encoding is a fixed 92-byte layout rather than canonical CBOR. Canonicality is not load-bearing here -- unlike a key statement the bundle is never hashed or signed, only encrypted -- so CBOR's one advantage does not apply, while its canonicalisation rules are a real source of cross-implementation disagreement. It also costs a dependency System.Formats.Cbor is not in the shared framework. Safe to change now and not later: no bundle has ever been stored. 53 new tests. The encoding is checked against an independent codec written in the test rather than by round-tripping production code against itself -- a round trip passes just as happily when both directions are wrong the same way, and this format cannot change after one bundle is stored. The pinned 92-byte hex constant is the golden vector for the layout. Most of the rest are negative, because a binding is only demonstrated by the substitutions that fail: a wrap for another user, a grant from a superseded generation, a payload pasted onto another item, a metadata blob offered as a payload, a version rolled back.
