GridGuard: Secure, Attested Cross-Domain Energy Mesh Orchestrator (MVP)

GridGuard provides a security-first framework overlaying cross-domain optimization stacks (e.g., CatOpt/Open-EnergyMesh). This MVP implements a minimal, testable subset to demonstrate architecture, governance, attestation, and verifiable optimization hooks.

What’s included in this MVP:

• Security Contracts Registry: versioned contracts describing data-exposure rules and attestation policies.
• Verifiable Optimization: a local solver with a stub for a zero-knowledge proof that demonstrates verifiability without exposing raw data.
• Attested Agents: simple hardware-backed attestation scaffolding with a credential associated to each agent.
• Secure Transport: basic channel abstraction with key rotation stubs.
• Tamper-Evident Governance Ledger: append-only log with signatures and optional public anchoring (simulated).
• Delta-Sync: state reconciliation with proof checks.
• EnergiBridge: canonical, vendor-agnostic bridge mapping GridGuard primitives to a CatOpt-inspired representation (Objects, Morphisms, PlanDelta). Enables cross-vendor interoperability.
• Graph-of-Contracts registry: versioned schemas for adapters and data models; replay protection and auditability.
• Attestation enhancements: DID-based identities and hardware-backed attestation binding to contract permissions.
• Privacy-by-design primitives: secure aggregation and pluggable zero-knowledge proof stubs for verifiable compliance.
• Post-quantum readiness: crypto-hygiene considerations and key rotation strategies.
• Tamper-evident governance ledger: anchoring options to public ledgers for cross-organization auditability.
• Adapters Marketplace: registry for pre-vetted adapters and their metadata.
• Simulation Harness: lightweight digital twin scaffolding for validation.

Notes on MVP extensions (EnergiBridge focus):

• EnergiBridge provides a canonical interoperability layer mapping GridGuard primitives to a CatOpt-like representation with Objects, Morphisms, and PlanDelta.
• Attestation and DID-based identities are wired into AttestedAgent and governance flows; key rotation and hardware-backed attestations are supported in MVP form.
• Verifiable optimization is stubbed with a ZK-proof placeholder; privacy budgets and secure aggregation hooks are available for exploration.
• Governance ledger supports append-only entries with signatures and public anchoring options.
