SigNest benchmark dataset

SigNest benchmark dataset: Besu and Fabric campaign of 15-16 September 2026 Raw measurements, logs, fixtures and provenance records of the benchmark campaign on Hyperledger Besu (QBFT) and Hyperledger Fabric used to evaluate SigNest, an application-layer framework for hybrid post-quantum authentication evidence. English derived copy: the Vietnamese messages of the campaign output were translated into English, numbers and structure are unchanged, and the SHA-256 of every file before and after the translation is listed in provenance/HASH_MAP_original_to_english.csv. The record contains integrity hashes (SHA-256) and analysis/reproduce_paper_numbers.py, which recomputes every benchmark number quoted in the paper from the raw files (98 checks, including the native microbenchmark of Table 5, run on 2 November 2026). See README.md of the dataset archive for the data dictionary and known limitations. The record contains four files. (1) signest-v1.3-benchmark-artifacts-20260915-en.zip: the dataset described above. (2) signest-ccaas-1.0.tar: the 41 MB chaincode image of the Fabric campaign (SHA-256 0e74ca10785069bd60c826d6ae45375b64598a2de4abcabbbb0a305c275daadf); place it in raw/fabric/ to verify the complete tree of the dataset. (3) signest-1.0.0g-v1.3.zip: the frozen source bundle of the campaign (internal label V1.3; SHA-256 e4933575087871fb9f932af8715244a169a36791785adf0df28a3fa47857dc16), deposited unmodified so that the digest quoted in the paper can be verified. (4) SHA256SUMS.txt: the SHA-256 of the three files above; with all four files in one directory, run sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt. The dataset archive lists the SHA-256 of every file it contains in its own SHA256SUMS and MANIFEST.json. About the source bundle. It is the exact source tree from which the campaign was run and must stay unmodified for its digest to hold. Its comments and documentation are partly in Vietnamese. A cleaned software release with English comments is planned as a separate, later version of this record; the measurements describe the frozen bundle only. The bundle carries the historical project title "A Strongly-Nested Hybrid Signature Framework"; this is a name and a structural description, not a claim of strong non-separability (SNS) or SUF-CMA security, which the paper explicitly does not make (Section 1.6). Private-key literals in the bundle are test material only: the publicly known default test keys of Hardhat (accounts #0 and #1) and, in the development script benchmarks/besu/dev-tests/manual_test_c1_expire_challenge.js, two keys of test accounts of the isolated permissioned test network of the campaign. They must not be used on any other network. The bundle contains only .example templates of the deployment configuration (with private-range IP addresses of the test network) and no fixtures.
