This is the official research website for Electisec, featuring comprehensive guides on smart contract security and cryptographic protocols.

• Proxies Research: Comprehensive guide to smart contract proxy patterns and security vulnerabilities
• MPC Research: Advanced research on multi-party computation protocols and cryptographic security
• Category-based Content Management: Organized content structure with markdown support
• Responsive Design: Modern, mobile-friendly interface
• Search Functionality: Full-text search across all research content

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

The site architecture is designed to easily support new research categories. Follow these steps to add a new category (e.g., "cryptography"):

Edit lib/categories.json and add your new category:

{
  "categories": {
    "proxies": { ... },
    "mpc": { ... },
    "cryptography": {
      "title": "Electisec Cryptography Research",
      "description": "Advanced research on cryptographic protocols and security analysis",
      "component": "ContentSection",
      "contentSource": "markdown",
      "contentPath": "content/cryptography",
      "seo": {
        "title": "Electisec Cryptography Research | Advanced Cryptographic Protocols",
        "keywords": [
          "cryptography",
          "cryptographic protocols",
          "encryption",
          "security analysis",
          "Electisec"
        ],
        "baseUrl": "https://research.electisec.com/cryptography"
      }
    }
  }
}

Create the content directory structure:

mkdir content/cryptography

Create your research content as markdown files in the new directory. Always include a home.md file as the landing page:

# Required: Landing page
touch content/cryptography/home.md

# Add your research topics
touch content/cryptography/symmetric-encryption.md
touch content/cryptography/hash-functions.md
touch content/cryptography/digital-signatures.md

Each markdown file should include frontmatter metadata:

---
title: "Cryptography Research Overview"
description: "Advanced research on cryptographic protocols and security"
nav_order: 1
---

# Cryptography Research Overview

Your content here...

1. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

2. Visit your new category:

   • Main page: http://localhost:3000/cryptography
   • Individual topics: http://localhost:3000/cryptography/symmetric-encryption

3. Verify functionality:

   • ✅ Navigation works
   • ✅ Search functionality
   • ✅ Content displays properly
   • ✅ Mobile responsive design

# Test production build
npm run build

# Deploy to your hosting platform
npm run start

Your new category will be automatically available at:

• research.electisec.com/cryptography
• research.electisec.com/cryptography/[topic-slug]

1. File Naming: Use kebab-case for filenames (symmetric-encryption.md)
2. Frontmatter: Always include title, description, and optionally nav_order
3. Home Page: Each category must have a home.md file
4. Navigation Order: Use nav_order to control sidebar ordering
5. Links: Use relative links between content files
6. Images: Store in /public/assets/images/ and reference as /assets/images/filename.jpg

The categories configuration supports additional options:

{
  "title": "Display Title",
  "description": "SEO description",
  "component": "ContentSection",
  "contentSource": "markdown",
  "contentPath": "content/category-name",
  "seo": {
    "title": "Full SEO title",
    "keywords": ["keyword1", "keyword2"],
    "baseUrl": "https://research.electisec.com/category-name"
  }
}

That's it! The generalized architecture handles all the routing, navigation, search functionality, and responsive design automatically.

This site is designed to be deployed at research.electisec.com with:

• Proxies section at: research.electisec.com/proxies
• MPC section at: research.electisec.com/mpc
