Problem
Post-quantum certificates stress infrastructure that was tuned for smaller keys, older assumptions, and narrower interoperability profiles.
Technical record
The project treats X.509 as an operational system: parse the certificate, inspect the chain, test the boundary, and record where software expectations diverge from new cryptographic material.
Evidence
The assurance layer records parser behavior, validator decisions, and regression cases under PQC certificate structures.
