πŸ” Lyvoxa Security & Verification Guide

Overview

Lyvoxa implements professional security practices for release integrity verification using SHA256 checksums. This universal standard ensures the software you download is genuine and unmodified, with full compatibility across ArchLinux and all Linux distributions.

πŸ›‘οΈ Security Features

SHA256 Checksum Verification

  • SHA256: Universal cryptographic hash standard
  • Cross-Platform: Supported natively on all Linux distributions
  • Reliable: Industry-standard algorithm for package integrity
  • ArchLinux Compatible: Works seamlessly with pacman

Reproducible Builds

  • Consistent Environment: GitHub Actions with locked toolchain
  • Source Verification: Build from verified repository commits
  • Dependency Locking: Cargo.lock ensures consistent dependencies

πŸ“‹ Verification Instructions

1. Download Release Files

# Download the release package and verification files
wget https://github.com/oxyzenQ/lyvoxa/releases/download/stellar-2.0/lyvoxa-stellar-2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
wget https://github.com/oxyzenQ/lyvoxa/releases/download/stellar-2.0/lyvoxa-stellar-2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha256

2. SHA256 Checksum Verification

# Verify SHA256 checksum (universal standard)
sha256sum -c lyvoxa-stellar-2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha256

# Expected output:
# lyvoxa-stellar-2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz: OK

ArchLinux Users

# ArchLinux provides sha256sum natively
sha256sum -c lyvoxa-stellar-2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha256

# Alternative
sha256sum -c lyvoxa-stellar-2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha256

3. Build Verification

# After extraction, verify binary properties
tar -xzf lyvoxa-stellar-2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd lyvoxa-stellar-2.0-linux-x86_64

# Check binary architecture and linking
file bin/lyvoxa

# Verify version information
./bin/lyvoxa --version

πŸ” Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Always Verify SHA256: Never skip checksum verification
  2. Use Official Sources: Only download from GitHub releases
  3. Verify Build Information: Check binary properties after extraction
  4. ArchLinux Integration: Leverage native tools compatibility
  5. Check Release Notes: Review security information in release notes

For Developers

  1. Reproducible Environment: GitHub Actions with locked Rust toolchain
  2. Automated Verification: CI/CD pipeline automatically generates SHA256 checksums
  3. Immutable Releases: Once published, releases cannot be modified
  4. Audit Trail: All release activities logged in GitHub Actions

🚨 Security Incident Response

If Verification Fails

  1. Stop Installation: Do not proceed with installation
  2. Report Issue: Create an issue on GitHub with verification details
  3. Re-download: Try downloading from official source again
  4. Contact Maintainer: Reach out via GitHub or official channels

Reporting Security Issues

  • GitHub Issues: For non-sensitive security questions
  • Direct Contact: For sensitive security vulnerabilities
  • Response Time: Security issues prioritized within 24 hours

Cryptographic Algorithms Used

Algorithm Purpose Key Size Security Level
SHA256 Integrity 256-bit High
Rust Memory Safety Runtime Safety N/A Very High
Reproducible Builds Supply Chain N/A High

Threat Model

Protected Against:

  • βœ… File tampering/modification
  • βœ… Man-in-the-middle attacks
  • βœ… Malicious file substitution
  • βœ… Supply chain attacks
  • βœ… Unauthorized releases

Not Protected Against:

  • ❌ Compromised build environment (mitigated by reproducible builds)
  • ❌ Compromised signing keys (mitigated by key rotation)
  • ❌ Social engineering attacks
