CryptoProof Early Access — buyer fit check
This page is for a software vendor deciding whether the local CryptoProof product is suitable before paying. It describes the current 0.1.6 local review candidate; no offer or checkout is active.
A good fit
- You answer customer cryptography or PQC questions for a B2B software product.
- You can supply a CycloneDX 1.6 or 1.7 JSON CBOM for the product and know its scope. CryptoProof does not create or authenticate that CBOM.
- The customer's questionnaire is a plain, supported
.xlsxworkbook with identifiable question, answer and evidence columns. You can inspect all sheets and approve any sheet that truly has no questions. A normalized CSV can be imported, but it has no original-template write-back. - A security or product engineer on your team can install a Python command-line tool, review every proposed answer and approve the final disclosure.
Check the workbook before purchasing
| Check | What you should confirm |
|---|---|
| File type | .xlsx, with no macros, external workbook links or protected question sheet. DOCX and PDF are unsupported. |
| Layout | Question, answer and evidence columns exist or can be explicitly mapped. There is a place for evidence references. |
| Excel features | No hidden sheets/rows/columns, drawings, embedded controls, pivots, charts, or merged, formula or validated answer/evidence cells in the supported copy. |
| Scope | You can compare CryptoProof's question count and ignored-sheet list with the original workbook. A question on an unrecognized sheet must be mapped, never silently ignored. |
| Local setup | The documented candidate is validated on Windows x64 with CPython 3.13.16 and pinned dependencies. The review bundle includes the dependency wheels for an offline install with an existing compatible Python. Other environments still need validation. |
See the complete supported scope. The tool's preflight command is the actual suitability check after installation; this checklist cannot prove that an unseen workbook will pass. If your buyer requires a complex protected template that you cannot make into a supported copy, plan to answer it manually.
What the purchase would deliver
The bounded workflow is preflight → optional local column mapping and approved company answers → compile → review every row → finalize. It creates a draft copy of the original workbook and an evidence package from supplied CBOM data. VERIFIED means a narrow statement is traceable to that supplied data; PARTIAL, UNKNOWN, OWNER_INPUT_REQUIRED, and vendor OWNER_APPROVED stay distinct. The tool does not guarantee a particular number of completed answers or certify compliance.
The sample in the review bundle is synthetic: 28 questions and 11 draft writes in the current offline smoke test. Those counts are an example, not a performance promise for your questionnaire. The Quick Start walks through the sample. Do not send real customer files to the seller for a fit check; the product is designed to process them locally.
Before this becomes a paid offer
The reused candidate is Exactloom Works / 髙橋一輝, JP/US B2B, US$99 one-time per business, Paddle reseller/Merchant of Record, seven-day voluntary defect review and [email protected]. Full Terms, Software License, public seller details, tax presentation, scope and prerequisites must be visible before payment. CryptoProof-specific product/channel approval, exact-package clean-platform acceptance and the actual buyer lifecycle remain pending. The current support boundary excludes custom questionnaire completion and Excel repair. This draft does not grant a license or create a purchase option.
