Aere Network 4a0b48588c Initial public release
Aere Network public source. Everything here can be checked against the live
chain (chain id 2800, https://rpc.aere.network).

Scope note, stated up front rather than buried: consensus on chain 2800 is
classical secp256k1 ECDSA QBFT. The post-quantum work in this repository is at
the signature, precompile, account and transport layers. Nothing here makes the
consensus post-quantum, and no document in it should be read as claiming so.

* @title AereFalcon512Verifier, spec-complete NIST Falcon-512 signature verifier, on-chain
* @notice A REAL, standalone Falcon-512 (FIPS 206 / NIST PQC round-3) signature
* verifier that runs entirely on chain 2800. Given a public key, a
* message, and a signature, it performs the full Falcon verification:
*
* 1. HashToPoint: SHAKE256(nonce || message) is streamed and
* rejection-sampled into a challenge polynomial c in Z_q[x]/(x^512+1)
* (q = 12289), exactly per the reference hash_to_point_vartime.
* 2. Public-key decode: the 897-byte NIST public key (0x09 header + 512
* coefficients packed at 14 bits each) is decoded to h.
* 3. Signature decode: the compressed Gaussian encoding of s2 is decoded
* (Falcon comp_decode: sign bit, 7 low bits, unary high bits).
* 4. Recompute -s1 = s2*h - c in the ring (negacyclic convolution mod q),
* then center coefficients into (-q/2, q/2].
* 5. Norm check: accept iff ||(s1, s2)||^2 <= floor(beta^2) = 34034726,
* the Falcon-512 acceptance bound.
*
* This is the actual lattice/hash cryptography, executed on-chain, not a
* proof-of-a-proof. It is validated bit-for-bit against the OFFICIAL NIST
* Falcon-512 Known-Answer-Test vectors (falcon512-KAT.rsp, SHA-256
* dd75c946...b5cd, reproduced byte-for-byte from the round-3 reference):
* real (pk, message, signature) triples verify true; tampered signatures
* verify false.
*
* The chain's block gas limit is effectively unlimited, so the full
* verification runs as an ordinary transaction; there is no trusted
* prover and no off-chain step. Anyone can call verify() and get the same
* accept/reject the reference C implementation produces.
