kxco-verify 1.1.0

Receiver-side verifier for the KXCO hybrid HMAC + ML-DSA-65 webhook signature scheme

kxco-verify (Python)

Receiver-side verifier for the KXCO hybrid HMAC + ML-DSA-65 webhook signature scheme. Wire-format compatible with @kxco/post-quantum (npm), the Go verifier, and the Rust verifier.

Install

pip install kxco-verify           # core (HMAC, envelope, fingerprint)
pip install kxco-verify[oqs]      # adds liboqs-python for ML-DSA
pip install kxco-verify[pqcrypto] # adds pqcrypto for ML-DSA

The HMAC, envelope, fingerprint, and timestamp paths use only the Python standard library. ML-DSA-65 verification is lazy-loaded: it only requires a PQC backend when verify_pq is actually called.

Quick start (FastAPI)

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, HTTPException
import os
import kxco_verify as kx

PINNED_KID    = "aa29f37ab7f4b2cf"  # current KXCO production kid (refresh from /.well-known if rotated)
PINNED_PUBKEY = bytes.fromhex("...3904 hex chars...")
HMAC_SECRET   = os.environ["KXCO_WEBHOOK_SECRET"].encode()

app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/webhooks/kxco")
async def webhook(request: Request):
    raw_body = await request.body()
    headers = {k.lower(): v for k, v in request.headers.items()}

    result = kx.verify_delivery(
        headers=headers,
        raw_body=raw_body,
        hmac_secret=HMAC_SECRET,
        pq_public_key=PINNED_PUBKEY,
        pinned_kid=PINNED_KID,
    )
    if not result.ok:
        raise HTTPException(401, "invalid signature")

    return {"ok": True}

Running tests

cd python
python test_kxco_verify.py

Expected: All 6 vector tests passed.

This verifies that the Python implementation produces identical outputs to vectors.json — the same file used by the JavaScript, Go, and Rust verifiers.
