hope-genome 1.6.0

Tamper-evident cryptographic framework for AI accountability with Python bindings

Hope Genome 🛡️

Tamper-Evident Cryptographic Framework for AI Accountability

"Not unhackable, but tamper-evident with cryptographic proof."

🎯 What is Hope Genome?

Hope Genome is a production-ready framework that makes AI systems accountable and auditable through cryptographic proofs. Every AI decision is cryptographically signed and traceable - no more "the AI did it" excuses.

Why Hope Genome?

The AI industry is selling you a black box. They say: "Trust us!" But trust is not an engineering category. Trust is where lies begin.

Hope Genome forces AI into accountability by:

• 🔒 Cryptographically sealing ethical rules (tamper-evident, immutable)
• 📝 Logging every decision with Ed25519 signatures
• 🔗 Blockchain-style audit trails (any tampering is instantly detected)
• 🛡️ Hardware-backed security (HSM/TEE support for production)
• 🐍 Native Python support for AI/ML ecosystem integration

🚀 Quick Start

Python (pip)

pip install hope-genome

import hope_genome as hg

# Create and seal a genome with ethical rules
genome = hg.SealedGenome(rules=[
    "Do no harm",
    "Respect user privacy",
    "Provide transparent explanations"
])
genome.seal()  # Rules are now immutable

# Verify an AI action
action = hg.Action.delete_file("user_data.txt")
proof = genome.verify_action(action)

print(f"Approved: {proof.approved}")
print(f"Proof Hash: {proof.genome_hash}")
print(f"Signature: {proof.signature_hex()[:32]}...")

# Audit the proof (replay attack detection)
auditor = hg.ProofAuditor()
auditor.verify_proof(proof)  # Throws if tampered or replayed

Rust (Cargo)

[dependencies]
hope_core = "1.5"

use hope_core::genome::SealedGenome;
use hope_core::proof::Action;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create and seal genome
    let mut genome = SealedGenome::new(vec![
        "Do no harm".to_string(),
        "Respect privacy".to_string(),
    ])?;
    genome.seal()?;

    // Verify action
    let action = Action::delete("user_data.txt");
    let proof = genome.verify_action(&action)?;

    println!("Approved: {}", proof.is_approved());
    Ok(())
}

🎯 Use Cases

1. Accountable LLM Agents

# LangChain integration
from langchain.agents import Tool
import hope_genome as hg

genome = hg.SealedGenome(rules=["No data exfiltration", "Respect privacy"])
genome.seal()

def delete_file(filename: str) -> str:
    action = hg.Action.delete_file(filename)
    proof = genome.verify_action(action)

    if proof.approved:
        os.remove(filename)
        return f"Deleted: {filename} (Proof: {proof.signature_hex()[:16]})"
    else:
        return f"DENIED: {proof.denial_reason()}"

tool = Tool(name="delete_file", func=delete_file, description="Delete a file")

2. REST API with Cryptographic Proofs

# FastAPI integration
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
import hope_genome as hg

app = FastAPI()
genome = hg.SealedGenome(rules=["Do no harm"])
genome.seal()

@app.post("/actions/delete")
async def delete_file(filename: str):
    action = hg.Action.delete_file(filename)
    proof = genome.verify_action(action)

    if not proof.approved:
        raise HTTPException(403, proof.denial_reason())

    # Execute with cryptographic proof
    return {
        "approved": True,
        "proof_hash": proof.genome_hash,
        "signature": proof.signature_hex(),
        "timestamp": proof.timestamp()
    }

3. AI Model Integrity Verification

# AIBOM verification
import hope_genome as hg

# Load AI model with integrity check
model_hash = hg.compute_model_hash("model.pt")
aibom = hg.AibomVerifier("aibom.xml")

if aibom.verify_component("GPT-Model", model_hash):
    model = torch.load("model.pt")  # Safe to load
else:
    raise SecurityError("Model tampered!")  # ABORT

👨‍💻 Created By

Created by: Máté Róbert

I am a factory worker with an architect's vision. My experience in precision manufacturing taught me that accountability is binary: it either exists or it doesn't.

Hope Genome is my contribution to ensuring that AI becomes a tool of truth, not a shield for lies.

Hope Genome makes AI accountable. No more excuses. Just proof.
