🔐 Quantum-Safe Cryptography

ComplyChain now includes NIST PQC Round 3 quantum-resistant cryptography with Dilithium3 as the primary algorithm and RSA-4096 as a fallback.

🔄 Fallback Strategy & How to Fix It

ComplyChain uses a smart fallback system to ensure your application always works, even when quantum-safe libraries aren't available:

Automatic Fallback Behavior

Quantum-Safe (Dilithium3) → RSA-4096 → Error Handling

What happens when you see this message: liboqs-python not available - trying pqcrypto alternatives Dilithium3 requested but liboqs not available - falling back to RSA-4096 (pqcrypto has known signing issues)

This means: - ✅ Your application continues to work with RSA-4096 (still very secure) - ✅ No data loss or functionality issues - ⚠️ You're not using quantum-safe cryptography (but still cryptographically secure)

How to Enable True Quantum-Safe Cryptography

Option 1: Install liboqs-python (Recommended) ```bash

On Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt-get install liboqs-dev pip install liboqs-python

On macOS

brew install liboqs pip install liboqs-python

On Windows (using vcpkg)

vcpkg install liboqs pip install liboqs-python

Verify installation

python -c "import oqs; print('✓ liboqs available')" ```

Option 2: Use Docker with Quantum Support ```bash

Build quantum-enabled image

docker build -f Dockerfile.oqs -t complychain-quantum .

Run with quantum-safe enabled

docker run -v /auditchain:/auditchain \ -e QUANTUMSAFEENABLED=true \ complychain-quantum ```

Option 3: Manual liboqs Installation ```bash

Clone and build liboqs

git clone https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs.git cd liboqs mkdir build && cd build cmake -DCMAKEINSTALLPREFIX=/usr/local .. make -j$(nproc) sudo make install

Install Python bindings

pip install liboqs-python ```

Verification Commands

Check if quantum-safe is working: ```bash

Test quantum-safe key generation

python -c " from complychain.cryptoengine import QuantumSafeSigner signer = QuantumSafeSigner() signer.generatekeys() print('✓ Quantum-safe cryptography enabled') "

Check available algorithms

python -c " from complychain.cryptoengine import QuantumSafeSigner signer = QuantumSafeSigner() print('Available algorithms:', signer.getavailable_algorithms()) " ```

Expected output with quantum-safe: ✓ Quantum-safe cryptography enabled Available algorithms: ['dilithium3', 'falcon512', 'sphincs+-sha256-128f-simple']

Expected output with fallback: liboqs-python not available - falling back to RSA-4096 Available algorithms: ['rsa-4096']

🔧 Troubleshooting

Quantum-Safe Cryptography Issues

Problem: "liboqs-python not available - falling back to RSA-4096"

What it means: Your system doesn't have quantum-safe cryptography libraries installed.

Solutions (in order of preference): 1. Install liboqs-python (Recommended): ```bash # Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt-get install liboqs-dev pip install liboqs-python

# macOS brew install liboqs pip install liboqs-python

# Windows vcpkg install liboqs pip install liboqs-python ```

1. Use Docker with quantum support: bash docker build -f Dockerfile.oqs -t complychain-quantum . docker run -e QUANTUM_SAFE_ENABLED=true complychain-quantum

2. Continue with RSA-4096 (still secure):

   • Your application will work fine with RSA-4096
   • No action needed - this is a safe fallback

Problem: "Dilithium3 key generation fails"

Solutions: 1. Verify liboqs installation: bash python -c "import oqs; print('✓ liboqs available')"

1. Check system dependencies: ```bash # Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake

# macOS brew install cmake ```

1. Manual installation: bash git clone https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs.git cd liboqs && mkdir build && cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local .. make -j$(nproc) && sudo make install pip install liboqs-python

Problem: "pqcrypto algorithms (Falcon, SPHINCS+) fail with signing errors"

Cause: Known bug in pqcrypto library where key generation works but signing fails.

Solutions: 1. Use liboqs instead (Recommended): bash pip uninstall pqcrypto pip install liboqs-python

1. Let ComplyChain handle it (Automatic):
   • ComplyChain automatically skips pqcrypto and uses RSA-4096
   • No action needed - this is the intended fallback behavior

Problem: "No private key available - call generate_keys() first"

Solution: Generate keys before signing: ```bash

Using CLI

complychain quantum-keys generate --algorithm dilithium3

Using Python

from complychain.cryptoengine import QuantumSafeSigner signer = QuantumSafeSigner() signer.generatekeys() # This is required first signature = signer.sign(data) ```

Problem: "Signature verification fails"

Solutions: 1. Check algorithm compatibility: bash # Verify you're using the same algorithm python -c " from complychain.crypto_engine import QuantumSafeSigner signer = QuantumSafeSigner() print('Current algorithm:', signer.algorithm) "

1. Regenerate keys: ```bash

   Clear old keys and regenerate

   rm -rf ~/.complychain/keys/ complychain quantum-keys generate ```

2. Check file integrity: ```bash

   Ensure the file hasn't changed

   sha256sum your_file.txt ```

Performance Issues

Problem: "Scan time exceeds 50ms requirement"

Solutions: 1. Enable test mode for faster performance: bash export COMPLYCHAIN_TEST_MODE=1 python -m pytest complychain/tests/ -v

1. Check sanctions API connectivity: ```bash

   Test API connectivity

   curl -I https://api.fincen.gov ```

2. Use cached sanctions data:

   • ComplyChain automatically caches sanctions data
   • First run may be slower, subsequent runs are faster

Installation Issues

Problem: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'complychain'"

Solutions: 1. Install in development mode: bash pip install -e .

1. Check Python path: bash python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"

2. Verify installation: bash pip list | grep complychain

Problem: "PyPDF2 deprecation warnings"

Solution: This is just a warning, not an error. PyPDF2 still works: ```bash

Ignore the warning (safe to do)

export PYTHONWARNINGS="ignore::DeprecationWarning" ```

Configuration Issues

Problem: "Configuration file not found"

Solutions: 1. Create default config: bash cp config.yaml.example config.yaml

1. Use environment variables: bash export COMPLYCHAIN_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG export COMPLYCHAIN_QUANTUM_SAFE_ENABLED=true

2. Specify config file: bash complychain --config /path/to/config.yaml

Docker Issues

Problem: "Docker build fails"

Solutions: 1. Use the correct Dockerfile: ```bash # For quantum support docker build -f Dockerfile.oqs .

# For standard build docker build -f Dockerfile . ```

1. Check Docker resources: ```bash

   Ensure enough memory/CPU

   docker system info ```

2. Clean Docker cache: bash docker system prune -a
