Institutional Governance Built into the Metal.

01 — Audit Trail

The Iron Ledger

Tamper-evident execution trace for every gated action. The Engine constructs a tamper-evident audit trail using Merkle Trees and Hash Chains, delivering cryptographically verifiable non-repudiation with a median verification time of 3.2 ms.

3.2 ms

*Latency metrics reflect benchmarked Gate0 evaluation and cryptographic hashing under maximum parallel throughput on standard x86/ARM host architecture.

02 — Circuit Breaker

Pre-Retrieval Authorization (RAG DMZ)

Enforcing context sovereignty at the database layer. The RAG DMZ intercepts similarity searches and enforces strict Vector ACLs before the LLM can read the data, structurally mitigating prompt-driven exfiltration via a Rust-enforced logic gate—without taking the underlying LLM offline.

03 — Identity

Zero-Trust NHI Management

Autonomous agents are governed as Non-Human Identities (NHIs). Every request carries identity metadata, verified via Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) enforced in Rust to mitigate prompt-injection blast radius.
