Cryptographically Verifiable
Compliance & Identity Governance

Aphantos proves who had access to what, when, and why — with cryptographic evidence.
A graph-native compliance engine, it unifies Identity Governance (IGA), Risk Management (GRC), and Endpoint Security (EDR) into a single mathematical ledger secured by Polynomial Graph Commitments.

Visualizing the Compliance Graph

Aphantos models identities, systems, policies, and threats as nodes and edges. Interact with the live mock graphs below to see how it operates.

  • Sub-microsecond Graph Traversals
  • Raft & SWIM Gossip
  • PGM Learned Indexing
Cryptography Core

Polynomial Graph Commitments

Aphantos implements **Polynomial Graph Commitments (PGC)** to prove the compliance and authorization state of the entire system. Instead of trusting raw database logs, external auditors can verify cryptographic proofs.

Zero-Knowledge Auditing

Prove that all active user privileges conform to Separation of Duties (SoD) policies without exposing any actual user names or roles to third-party auditors.

KZG Commitments

Authorization states are mapped to polynomials. A single 48-byte cryptographic commitment secures millions of relations, evaluatable in O(1) time.

Incremental Proof Updates

As access changes are processed, proofs are updated incrementally, avoiding complete database recalculations while keeping the audit state live.

TECHNICAL PREPRINT ABSTRACT

Polynomial Graph Commitments: Succinct Compliance Verification on Dynamic Heterogeneous Graphs

M. Douwes — Aphantos Labs

Abstract: We introduce Polynomial Graph Commitments (PGC), a novel cryptographic primitive designed for verifiably proving properties of dynamic heterogeneous graphs. By mapping nodes and edge adjacency matrices to bivariate polynomials over finite fields, we construct succinct zero-knowledge evaluations utilizing KZG polynomial commitments. PGC enables an untrusted graph database provider to prove compliance constraints, such as Separation of Duties (SoD) and transitive authorization limits, in $O(1)$ proof verification time and $O(d)$ evaluation size, where $d$ represents the degree of the query path. We show that our scheme maintains privacy guarantees for node identifiers and labels, making it suitable for distributed security auditing under zero-trust assumptions.

$$P(x) = \prod_{e \in E} (x - H(e))$$

$$e(C - [v]_1, G_2) = e\left(\pi, [\tau - H(e)]_2\right)$$

Performance Benchmarks

Aphantos (SuccinctGraph Engine in Rust) compared against traditional relational and graph databases on complex authorization path traversals.

Sub-Microsecond Operations

Traditional graph databases require joining multiple index structures or traversing deep pointer networks, which degrades performance as the graph depth increases.

Aphantos represents the graph using **Succinct Elias-Fano CSR** structures. Combined with PGM learned indices, lookups are reduced to O(1) and fit entirely inside CPU L2/L3 cache.

42x Faster than Neo4j
110x Faster than Postgres

* Benchmarks are indicative, measured under standardized workloads (100k nodes, 1.5M relations). Detailed reproducibility steps and synthetic workload generation scripts are documented in the PGC repository.

Traversal Latency (Lower is Better)
