  • Verification: Full CLI coverage of V1, V2, and Phase 3 operations.

Gap #10: NIST KAT Validation

  • Status: CLOSED
  • Providers: sdks/typescript/src/providers/ml-dsa-65.ts, slh-dsa-192f.ts

Audit Conclusion

All 13 gaps identified in the DCP-AI v2.0 Post-Quantum Protocol Upgrade plan have been verified as closed. Phase 3 additions (pq_only mode, key rotation ceremony, algorithm deprecation auto-response, HSM provider, governance ceremony) are fully implemented.

The DCP-AI v2.0 protocol is ready for publication.
