System: A decentralized cryptographic framework for secure content distribution that replaces traditional platform-based DRM with a model of cryptographic ownership and forensic accountability. The system utilizes Identity-Based Encryption (IBE), Traitor Tracing (TT), and Functional Encryption (FE) built on lattice-based post-quantum primitives. A key innovation is ‘Emergent Fingerprinting,’ where the decryption process itself introduces identity-bound, transform-domain perturbations into the media signal, ensuring that any leaked plaintext can be traced back to the specific decryption key used.

**Summary of Changes:**
## Core Cryptographic Requirements
To address the challenges of secure content distribution, the proposed protocol must satisfy several fundamental cryptographic requirements:
1. **One Ciphertext, Many Keys:** The system must support a model where a single encrypted payload can be decrypted by an arbitrary number of authorized recipients. Each recipient possesses a unique decryption key, avoiding the security risks associated with shared group keys.
2. **Non-Delegation (Leaf-Only Keys):** Decryption keys must be non-delegatable. This ensures that a key is tied to a specific "leaf" node in the distribution hierarchy. Recipients should not be able to derive or share functional sub-keys without exposing their own primary credentials.
3. **Forensic Accountability:** In the event of unauthorized plaintext leakage, the system must provide a mechanism for forensic tracing. By analyzing the leaked content or the decryption process, it should be possible to uniquely i

This document outlines the functional and non-functional requirements for the SACDP, a post-quantum cryptographic framework designed for secure, accountable content distribution.
The functional requirements focus on the core cryptographic operations: identity-bound key generation, emergent fingerprinting during decryption, and forensic tracing.

| FR-301 | Forensic Traceability | Must Have | Forensic Auditor | Given a leaked plaintext fragment, the system must identify the source key ID with > 99.9% confidence. |
| FR-302 | Collusion Resistance | Must Have | Forensic Auditor | The system must identify at least one source if up to $k$ users (where $k$ is defined by the Boneh-Shaw parameter) combine their content. |
| FR-401 | Post-Quantum Security Foundation | Must Have | System Architect | All cryptographic primitives must be based on Learning With Errors (LWE) or Shortest Vector Problems (SVP). |

"description" : "A decentralized cryptographic framework for secure content distribution that replaces traditional platform-based DRM with a model of cryptographic ownership and forensic accountability. The system utilizes Identity-Based Encryption (IBE), Traitor Tracing (TT), and Functional Encryption (FE) built on lattice-based post-quantum primitives. A key innovation is 'Emergent Fingerprinting,' where the decryption process itself introduces identity-bound, transform-domain perturbations into the media signal, ensuring that any leaked plaintext can be traced back to the specific decryption key used.",
