print(f"First entry: {stats.first_entry_time}")
print(f"Last entry: {stats.last_entry_time}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
## Advanced Features
### Batch Operations
```python
from signledger.core.batch import BatchProcessor
# High-throughput batch processing
batch = BatchProcessor(ledger, batch_size=1000)
for i in range(10000):
batch.add_entry({"transaction_id": f"TXN{i}", "amount": i * 100})
batch.flush() # Commit remaining entries
```
### Compression
```python
from signledger.compression import Compressor
# Enable compression for storage optimization
ledger = Ledger(
backend=SQLiteBackend("audit.db"),
compression=Compressor(algorithm="zstd", level=3)
)
```
### Merkle Tree Verification
```python
from signledger.crypto.merkle import MerkleTree
# Build Merkle tree from entries
entries = list(ledger.get_entries())
merkle_tree = MerkleTree()
for entry in entries:
merkle_tree.add_leaf(entry.hash)
merkle_tree.build()
# Get Merkle root
root_hash = merkle_tree.get_root()
# Verify specific entry
proof = merkle_tree.get_proof(0)
is_valid = merkle_tree.verify_proof(proof, entries[0].hash, root_hash)
```
### Cryptographic Signatures
```python
from signledger.crypto.signatures import RSASigner, ECDSASigner, Ed25519Signer
# RSA signatures
rsa_signer = RSASigner(key_size=2048)
entry = ledger.append(
{"action": "critical_operation"},
sign=True,
signer=rsa_signer.sign
)
# ECDSA signatures (faster, smaller)
ecdsa_signer = ECDSASigner(curve="secp256k1")
entry = ledger.append(
{"action": "blockchain_transaction"},
sign=True,
signer=ecdsa_signer.sign
)
# Ed25519 signatures (modern, fast)
ed_signer = Ed25519Signer()
entry = ledger.append(
{"action": "secure_message"},
sign=True,
signer=ed_signer.sign
)
```
## Storage Backends
### SQLite (Default for Small-Medium Deployments)
```python
from signledger.backends import SQLiteBackend
ledger = Ledger(backend=SQLiteBackend("audit.db"))
```
### PostgreSQL (Recommended for Production)
```python
from signledger.backends import PostgreSQLBackend
ledger = Ledger(
backend=PostgreSQLBackend(
host="localhost",
port=5432,
database="audit_log",
user="postgres",
password="secure_password"
)
)
```
### MongoDB (Document-Oriented)
```python
from signledger.backends import MongoDBBackend
ledger = Ledger(
backend=MongoDBBackend(
host="localhost",
port=27017,
database="audit_db",
collection="ledger_entries"
)
)
```
### In-Memory (Testing/Development)
```python
from signledger.backends import InMemoryBackend
ledger = Ledger(backend=InMemoryBackend())
```
## Performance
SignLedger is optimized for high-throughput audit logging:
- **Write Performance**: 2,000+ entries/second (batch mode: 10,000+/sec)
- **Read Performance**: 50,000+ entries/second with caching
- **Verification**: Full integrity check of 100,000 entries in ~2 seconds
- **Storage Efficiency**: 50-70% reduction with compression
- **Memory Usage**: ~1MB per 1,000 entries (without compression)
## Security
- **Immutability**: Entries cannot be modified after creation (Pydantic frozen models)
- **Hash Chain**: Tamper detection through cryptographic linking
- **Digital Signatures**: Non-repudiation with RSA/ECDSA/Ed25519
- **Integrity Verification**: Automatic or on-demand verification
- **Thread Safety**: Production-ready concurrent access protection
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- pydantic >= 2.0.0
- cryptography >= 41.0.0

Commit remaining entries\n```\n\n### Compression\n\n```python\nfrom signledger.compression import Compressor\n\n# Enable compression for storage optimization\nledger = Ledger(\n backend=SQLiteBackend(\"audit.db\"),\n compression=Compressor(algorithm=\"zstd\", level=3)\n)\n```\n\n### Merkle Tree Verification\n\n```python\nfrom signledger.crypto.merkle import MerkleTree\n\n# Build Merkle tree from entries\nentries = list(ledger.get_entries())\nmerkle_tree = MerkleTree()\n\nfor entry in entries:\n merkle_tree.add_leaf(entry.hash)\n\nmerkle_tree.build()\n\n# Get Merkle root\nroot_hash = merkle_tree.get_root()\n\n# Verify specific entry\nproof = merkle_tree.get_proof(0)\nis_valid = merkle_tree.verify_proof(proof, entries[0].hash, root_hash)\n```\n\n### Cryptographic Signatures\n\n```python\nfrom signledger.crypto.signatures import RSASigner, ECDSASigner, Ed25519Signer\n\n# RSA signatures\nrsa_signer = RSASigner(key_size=2048)\nentry = ledger.append(\n {\"action\": \"critical_operation\"},\n sign=True,\n signer=rsa_signer.sign\n)\n\n# ECDSA signatures (faster, smaller)\necdsa_signer = ECDSASigner(curve=\"secp256k1\")\nentry = ledger.append(\n {\"action\": \"blockchain_transaction\"},\n sign=True,\n signer=ecdsa_signer.sign\n)\n\n# Ed25519 signatures (modern, fast)\ned_signer = Ed25519Signer()\nentry = ledger.append(\n {\"action\": \"secure_message\"},\n sign=True,\n signer=ed_signer.sign\n)\n```\n\n## Storage Backends\n\n### SQLite (Default for Small-Medium Deployments)\n\n```python\nfrom signledger.backends import SQLiteBackend\n\nledger = Ledger(backend=SQLiteBackend(\"audit.db\"))\n```\n\n### PostgreSQL (Recommended for Production)\n\n```python\nfrom signledger.backends import PostgreSQLBackend\n\nledger = Ledger(\n backend=PostgreSQLBackend(\n host=\"localhost\",\n port=5432,\n database=\"audit_log\",\n user=\"postgres\",\n password=\"secure_password\"\n )\n)\n```\n\n### MongoDB (Document-Oriented)\n\n```python\nfrom signledger.backends import MongoDBBackend\n\nledger = Ledger(\n backend=MongoDBBackend(\n host=\"localhost\",\n port=27017,\n database=\"audit_db\",\n collection=\"ledger_entries\"\n )\n)\n```\n\n### In-Memory (Testing/Development)\n\n```python\nfrom signledger.backends import InMemoryBackend\n\nledger = Ledger(backend=InMemoryBackend())\n```\n\n## Performance\n\nSignLedger is optimized for high-throughput audit logging:\n\n- **Write Performance**: 2,000+ entries/second (batch mode: 10,000+/sec)\n- **Read Performance**: 50,000+ entries/second with caching\n- **Verification**: Full integrity check of 100,000 entries in ~2 seconds\n- **Storage Efficiency**: 50-70% reduction with compression\n- **Memory Usage**: ~1MB per 1,000 entries (without compression)\n\n## Security\n\n- **Immutability**: Entries cannot be modified after creation (Pydantic frozen models)\n- **Hash Chain**: Tamper detection through cryptographic linking\n- **Digital Signatures**: Non-repudiation with RSA/ECDSA/Ed25519\n- **Integrity Verification**: Automatic or on-demand verification\n- **Thread Safety**: Production-ready concurrent access protection\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3.8+\n- pydantic >= 2.0.0\n- cryptography >= 41.0.0\n\n## License\n\nMIT License\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
