Normal speed tests are too easy to forge and frequently mask the real issues that cause SLA breaches.<br> I wanted a way to generate mathematically undeniable, tamper evident proof of network degradation. The biggest architectural constraint was privacy. Offloading the report generation to a cloud API was a non starter because it breaks the chain of custody.<br> To solve this, I built NetProof. It is an iOS network auditing tool that handles RSA-2048 signing and PDF generation purely on-device. I originally considered keeping this as a closed, paid product, but I realized that true technical transparency requires open code. So, I’ve made it fully open-source.<br> I'd love for you to check out the repository, review the architecture, and see how the local signing is implemented:<br> <a href="https://github.com/AllecTerrezo/netproof-ios-audit" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub</a><br> I am looking for feedback from other engineers on the implementation. How do you handle SLA breaches, jitter, and network monitoring in your own stacks? Let's discuss it in the comments.</p> ios networking opensource security
