FABRIC
The HyFabric transport protocol. Many lanes, one session. Erasure-coded across paths, attested with post-quantum signatures, and shaped to look like everything but a VPN.
FABRIC, in your hands.

Built to survive hostile networks.
Every capability carries an honest status: what ships in Cove today, what's built in the engine, and what's still ahead.
Cross-path erasure coding
Each block is split into data and parity shards and striped across lanes. Lose a lane or a chunk of packets and the block still rebuilds, with no retransmit. Parity adapts to measured loss.
Click a lane to kill it. Shards restripe across survivors and the block still rebuilds with zero retransmit. Outlined cells are parity.

Parity adapts to measured loss.
Switchable camouflage
Wrap traffic as web, API or DNS-style traffic and swap modes mid-session.
Looks like HTTP/3. Switchable mid-session.
Post-quantum attestation
Sessions are bound by both a classical and a post-quantum (FIPS 204 ML-DSA) signature, with replay protection and automatic key rotation.

Auto-detour
If UDP is blocked, the session collapses onto TCP-based carriers instead of dying.
Traffic is spread by predictive scheduling. Illustrative split.
Stealth pacing
Profile-matched timing, jitter and cover frames make flows resemble video, browsing or bulk traffic.
