## Priority Actions

### Immediate (Critical)
1. **PVUGC-001**: Engage pairing cryptography experts for Power-Target Hardness analysis
2. **PVUGC-002**: Verify GS commitment binding prevents product forcing
3. **PVUGC-003**: Formalize and prove independence of G_G16 from bases

### Before Production (High)
4. **PVUGC-004**: Make PoCE-B publicly verifiable or add penalty mechanisms
5. **PVUGC-005**: Complete context binding (CRS hash, replay prevention)
6. **PVUGC-006**: Standardize serialization and edge case handling

### Audit Phase (Medium + Low)
7. **PVUGC-007**: Add timeouts, constant-time implementation
8. **PVUGC-008**: Deterministic or blacklisted T, R
9. **PVUGC-009**: Single mandatory DEM with test vectors
10. **PVUGC-010**: Specify CRS validation procedure
