# AFRICA-ZT-EDU Reproducible Research Artifact **AFRICA-ZT-EDU: A Policy-Centric Zero-Trust and Privacy-Preserving Architecture for Cross-Border Digital Education in Africa** Author: **Abdessamad Bourkibate** ORCID: **0009-0000-6186-8071** Affiliations: - Department of Computer Science, University of the People, Pasadena, CA, USA. - Faculty of Legal, Economic and Social Sciences, Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech, Morocco. - Share In, Casablanca, Morocco. ## Purpose This repository is the reproducible computational companion to the AFRICA-ZT-EDU research article. It contains the synthetic policy experiment, differential-privacy utility experiment, policy-registry staleness analysis, single-host cryptographic/policy microbenchmark, source data, row-level analytical scores, and scripts used to regenerate the research figures. All learner, institution, jurisdiction, credential, and cohort payloads used by the experiments are **synthetic**. The artifact is not a production deployment, legal opinion, compliance certification, or country-level assessment. ## One-click reproduction in RenkuLab Open `REPRODUCE_PAPER.ipynb` in a RenkuLab Python/Jupyter session and run the cells in order. For the command line: ```bash python -m pip install -r requirements.txt python run_all.py --full ``` For a fast validation run before launching the complete 3,000,000-request experiment: ```bash python run_all.py --quick ``` ## Reproduced components - 30-seed policy simulation: 3,000,000 synthetic authorization requests - differential-privacy count utility study - jurisdiction-policy staleness sensitivity analysis - 36-objective analytical threat/control dataset - local Ed25519/AES-GCM/policy microbenchmark - scientific figures derived from the supplied CSV outputs See `REPRODUCIBILITY.md` for the exact methodology and expected headline values.
