tibet-ping 0.1.4

Intent-based discovery and communication protocol with TIBET provenance. ICMP replacement with identity, trust, and context.

tibet-ping

Intent-based discovery and communication protocol with TIBET provenance.

ICMP ping is dumb: "are you there?" → "yes". No identity, no intent, no trust.

tibet-ping replaces this with a TIBET token as handshake. Every ping carries identity (JIS), intent, context, and purpose. Responses are trust-gated through Airlock zones.

Features

• PingPacket — TIBET-backed ping with identity, intent, context, purpose
• NonceTracker — Replay protection (30-second time window)
• Airlock — Trust-gated access (GROEN/GEEL/ROOD zones) with rules engine
• Vouching — Trust delegation for device groups (solves HITL scaling)
• Topology — Hub/Hubby/Pod/Station network modeling
• Beacon — Airgapped bootstrap for new devices (chicken-and-egg solved)

Quick Start

from tibet_ping import PingNode, PingDecision

# Create nodes
hub = PingNode("jis:home:hub")
sensor = PingNode("jis:home:sensor_temp")

# Hub trusts sensor
hub.set_trust("jis:home:sensor_temp", 0.9)

# Sensor pings hub
packet = sensor.ping(
    target="jis:home:hub",
    intent="temperature.report",
    purpose="Periodic temperature reading",
    payload={"celsius": 21.5},
)

# Hub receives and processes
response = hub.receive(packet)
assert response.decision == PingDecision.ACCEPT
assert response.airlock_zone == "GROEN"

Airlock Zones

Zone	Trust	Action
GROEN	>= 0.7	Auto-allow
GEEL	0.3 - 0.7	Pending (rules or HITL)
ROOD	< 0.3	Silent drop

Vouching (HITL Scaling)

# Hub vouches for 50 sensors at once
hub.vouch(
    vouched_dids=["jis:home:s1", "jis:home:s2", ...],
    my_trust=0.9,
    vouch_factor=0.7,  # Vouched trust = 0.9 * 0.7 = 0.63
)

Beacon Bootstrap

# New device broadcasts beacon (no secrets!)
beacon = new_device.broadcast_beacon(
    capabilities=["temperature"],
    device_type="sensor",
)

# Hub auto-vouches or escalates to HITL
response = hub.handle_beacon(beacon)
