ZKBP: Zero-Knowledge Behavioral Proof as a Secure Authentication Primitive

This publication introduces Zero-Knowledge Behavioral Proof (ZKBP) as a post-biometric authentication primitive designed for the QADMON canonical security framework. ZKBP replaces traditional biometric and password-based identity with cryptographically verifiable behavioral continuity. The protocol proves liveness, integrity and continuity of behavior without revealing biometric templates, raw behavioral signals, or any permanent human identifier. The package includes: - Formal cryptographic definition of ZKBP - Security proofs under LWE-based post-quantum assumptions - Comprehensive threat model (AI imitation, replay, side-channels, insider threats) - Protocol specification in JSON - Comparative security tables (CSV) - Multilingual human-readable documentation (EN, RU, HE, ZH, AR) - Implementation notes for PQC + TEE environments This module follows the canonical QADMON axiom: FSIG ≠ Cryptographic Key FSIG = Zero-Knowledge Behavioral Proof The only cryptographic secret is a post-quantum key stored inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This work is published as Module 02 of the QADMON Canonical Security Framework.

Abstract

This publication introduces Zero-Knowledge Behavioral Proof (ZKBP) as a post-biometric authentication primitive designed for the QADMON canonical security framework. ZKBP replaces traditional biometric and password-based identity with cryptographically verifiable behavioral continuity. The protocol proves liveness, integrity and continuity of behavior without revealing biometric templates, raw behavioral signals, or any permanent human identifier. The package includes: - Formal cryptographic definition of ZKBP - Security proofs under LWE-based post-quantum assumptions - Comprehensive threat model (AI imitation, replay, side-channels, insider threats) - Protocol specification in JSON - Comparative security tables (CSV) - Multilingual human-readable documentation (EN, RU, HE, ZH, AR) - Implementation notes for PQC + TEE environments This module follows the canonical QADMON axiom: FSIG ≠ Cryptographic Key FSIG = Zero-Knowledge Behavioral Proof The only cryptographic secret is a post-quantum key stored inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This work is published as Module 02 of the QADMON Canonical Security Framework.
