PhantomChatCrypto

The cryptographic core of Phantom Chat (Veilus Digital), extracted verbatim<br>from the iOS app so it can be read, compiled, and run by anyone — reviewers,<br>journalists, security researchers — without taking our word for anything.

Source-available for review. You may read, build, and run this code to<br>verify our claims. You may not reuse it in another product. See LICENSE.

The rest of the app and the backend remain closed-source; this package is the<br>part where the security actually lives.

What's here

File<br>What it is

Sources/PhantomChatCrypto/Kyber768.swift<br>ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203) — post-quantum KEM, pure Swift

Sources/PhantomChatCrypto/Keccak.swift<br>Keccak-f[1600] + SHA3-256/512 + SHAKE128/256 (FIPS 202)

Sources/PhantomChatCrypto/PQXDHHybrid.swift<br>Hybrid combiner: classical X3DH secret + Kyber secret → root key

Sources/PhantomChatCrypto/DoubleRatchet.swift<br>Signal-protocol Double Ratchet (per-message keys, forward secrecy)

These files are byte-for-byte identical to the app's CryptoService.swift /<br>DoubleRatchet.swift (only the import lines differ). The companion document<br>phantom-chat-claim-audit.md maps each marketing claim to these files.

How to verify it yourself

swift test

That runs (all must pass):

FIPS 202 known-answer tests — SHA3-256/512 and SHAKE128/256 against the<br>published NIST reference values.

NTT correctness — polynomial multiply checked against a schoolbook<br>negacyclic convolution.

Reduction correctness — Barrett reduction checked congruent across the<br>entire Int16 input range; canonical encoding verified.

ML-KEM-768 round-trips — KeyGen → Encaps → Decaps agree; tampered<br>ciphertext triggers implicit rejection.

Double Ratchet — encrypt/decrypt round-trip.

PQXDH hybrid combiner — deterministic and transcript-bound.

FIPS-203 conformance vs Apple CryptoKit (FIPSInteropTests, requires<br>macOS 26+): Phantom's Kyber and Apple's vetted MLKEM768 exchange shared<br>secrets both directions , and for the same seed Phantom's public key is<br>byte-identical to Apple's. This is the strongest possible evidence that<br>this is genuinely standard ML-KEM-768, not a look-alike.

Honesty notes (the parts we want you to scrutinise)

This is a clean-room Swift implementation of published standards (FIPS 202,<br>FIPS 203, Signal Double Ratchet/X3DH), not libsignal or liboqs. The<br>algorithms are standard; the implementation is ours.

It has not had a paid third-party audit yet — that's on the roadmap. We're<br>publishing it precisely so it can be reviewed.

The interop tests use Apple's CryptoKit as the reference oracle; they need<br>macOS 26 or later to run (older OSes will skip them).

Found a problem? support@veilusdigital.co. We'd rather hear it from you.
