Pulls apart the brand stack and ships the new 25-page Pramaan whitepaper.

Brand structure (going forward)

  • Pramaan™ — the patented zero-knowledge biometric identity protocol. Indian Patent IN202311041001, granted. Owned by Yushu Excellence Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Inventors: Amit Dua, Pulkit Pareek.
  • ZeroAuth — the developer-facing auth API product that implements Pramaan. Lives at zeroauth.dev. Open source.

The old marketing copy conflated the two; this PR pulls them apart.

What ships

Whitepaper

`/docs/whitepaper.pdf` (+ Docusaurus mirrors at `website/static` and `website/build`) replaced from the 210 KB ZeroAuth-branded version with the 468 KB 25-page Pramaan whitepaper — "Zero-Knowledge Biometric Authentication, Technical Architecture & Security Analysis."

Paper covers: system architecture, registration + authentication + DDIL offline flows, Indian Army DDIL deployment annex, Sybil/identity-binding with LSH deduplication, Poseidon hash + Circom 2.1.9 circuit + Groth16 proof system, on-chain anchoring on Base L2, security analysis against 9 attack vectors, performance benchmarks, regulatory compliance (DPDP 2023, RBI V-KYC, UIDAI independence, GDPR), future work (PLONK migration, post-quantum, proof aggregation, multi-modal).

SHA-256 verified across all three locations.

Landing page (`public/index.html`)

  • Title + meta — "ZeroAuth — Auth API powered by Pramaan™ zero-knowledge biometric IP"
  • Nav — new "Powered by Pramaan™" pill with a pulsing blue dot, click jumps to the patent section. Hidden on mobile to keep the nav clean.
  • Hero badge — "Built on Pramaan™ · Indian Patent IN202311041001 (Granted)"
  • Hero copy — explicit "ZeroAuth is the developer-facing auth API for Pramaan" framing
  • Hero gradient — 3-layer radial (blue + violet + cyan) for depth, plus a thin top accent line
  • How It Works → How Pramaan Works — protocol-level framing
  • Live Demo — "See Pramaan in action through the ZeroAuth API"
  • The Math — adds the May 2024 Indian Army biometric leak alongside the Okta 2023 reference, math card title flips to "Pramaan + ZeroAuth"
  • Patent section — completely rewritten: "ZeroAuth is the API. Pramaan is the patent." Two patent cards: Pramaan™ Protocol IN202311041001 + Yushu Excellence Technologies (owner + inventor attribution)
  • Whitepaper section — title → "Pramaan™ Whitepaper", tags refreshed (ZK-SNARKs / Groth16 / Poseidon / Base L2 / DPDP 2023 / DDIL), body rewritten, download filename → `Pramaan_Whitepaper.pdf`, "PDF · 25 pp" label added
  • Footer — Pramaan attribution in the brand column + © 2026 Yushu Excellence Technologies Pvt. Ltd. with patent number called out

Backend

  • `src/routes/leads.ts` — `/api/leads/whitepaper` returns `filename: 'Pramaan_Whitepaper.pdf'`
  • `tests/leads.test.ts` — assertion updated to match

Test plan

  • `npx tsc --noEmit` clean
  • `npm test` — 194/194 passing
  • `npm run lint` — 0 errors
  • Section open/close tags balance (9/9)
  • 23 Pramaan references, 29 ZeroAuth references, 5 Yushu attributions — brand split is consistent
  • PDF SHA-256 matches across all 3 mirror locations
  • CI green on this PR
  • After merge: zeroauth.dev/ shows the new branding + the download serves the new 25-page whitepaper

…paper

Branding fix. The patented zero-knowledge biometric protocol is named
**Pramaan** (IN202311041001, granted, owned by Yushu Excellence
Technologies Pvt. Ltd., inventors Amit Dua + Pulkit Pareek). **ZeroAuth**
is the developer-facing auth API product that implements Pramaan. The
old marketing site conflated the two; this commit pulls them apart so
buyers and auditors see the IP / product split.

Whitepaper

The 210KB ZeroAuth whitepaper at /docs/whitepaper.pdf (+ the
website/static + website/build mirrors) is replaced with the 468KB
25-page Pramaan whitepaper: "Pramaan — Zero-Knowledge Biometric
Authentication, Technical Architecture & Security Analysis."
Sections covered: system architecture (PWA client + server API +
Circom 2.1.9 circuit + Solidity contract on Base L2), registration
+ authentication + offline flows, DDIL operations annex (Indian
Army deployment), Sybil/identity-binding via LSH deduplication,
cryptographic design (Poseidon, Groth16), security analysis against
9 attack vectors, performance benchmarks, regulatory compliance
(DPDP 2023, RBI V-KYC, UIDAI independence, GDPR), and future work
(PLONK migration, post-quantum, proof aggregation, multi-modal).

Landing page edits

- Title + meta: "ZeroAuth — Auth API powered by Pramaan™
  zero-knowledge biometric IP"
- Nav: new "Powered by Pramaan™" pill next to the ZeroAuth logo,
  with pulsing blue dot animation. Click → jumps to the patent
  section.
- Hero badge: "Built on Pramaan™ · Indian Patent IN202311041001
  (Granted)" replaces the previous "v1 live" badge.
- Hero copy: explicit "ZeroAuth is the developer-facing auth API
  for Pramaan" framing.
- Hero gradient: richer 3-layer radial (blue + violet + cyan)
  instead of a single soft blue. Plus a thin gradient top border
  to ground the section.
- How It Works: "How Pramaan Works" — protocol-level framing.
- Live Demo: "See Pramaan in action through the ZeroAuth API."
- The Math: adds the May 2024 Indian Army biometric leak alongside
  the Okta 2023 example. Math-card title flips from "ZeroAuth" to
  "Pramaan + ZeroAuth."
- Quickstart: Poseidon commitment terminology (was "commitment").
- Patent section: rewritten — "ZeroAuth is the API. Pramaan is the
  patent." Two cards now: (a) Pramaan™ Protocol — IN202311041001
  granted, (b) Yushu Excellence Technologies — owner + inventor
  attribution.
- Whitepaper section: title → "Pramaan™ Whitepaper". Tags refreshed
  to ZK-SNARKs / Groth16 / Poseidon / Base L2 / DPDP 2023 / DDIL.
  Body paragraph rewritten to reflect actual paper contents.
  Filename in the download link → Pramaan_Whitepaper.pdf. "PDF · 25 pp"
  label added to the preview card.
- Footer brand: "Built on the patented Pramaan™ zero-knowledge
  biometric protocol." Bottom row → © 2026 Yushu Excellence
  Technologies Pvt. Ltd. with the patent number called out.

Backend

- src/routes/leads.ts: /api/leads/whitepaper now returns
  filename: 'Pramaan_Whitepaper.pdf'
- tests/leads.test.ts: assertion updated to match

Test suite: 194 passing (unchanged count). Lint: 0 errors.

Visual polish

- Powered-by pill has a pulsing dot animation (2.6s ease-in-out
  cycle) to draw the eye to the IP attribution without being
  distracting.
- Hero gradient now has depth — three radial gradients (blue,
  violet, cyan at low opacity) and a faint horizontal accent line
  at the top of the hero.
- @media (max-width: 700px) hides the powered-by pill on mobile so
  the nav doesn't crowd; the bottom-of-page attribution stays.
