Research
The research behind trusted AI in machines.
Our work spans model integrity, adversarial threats, machine trust and security evidence. Workstreams, not products.
Model integrityWhether the model that runs is the model that was approved.
Adversarial threatsInputs, updates and supply paths built to change what a model does.
Machine trustExplicit identity, limited permissions and checks at execution boundaries.
Security evidenceRecords a person can read, kept in order, including what could not be confirmed.Research and product
How the research connects to Vraelis Contour.
Vraelis ContourPrivate development
- Model integrityDraws on directly
Release identity, bound approval, approved against reported
- Security evidenceDraws on directly
Ordered observations, including unavailable evidence
- Machine trustInforms
Separate approval roles, a policy checked where it serves
- Adversarial threatsInforms
Which supply paths a release check covers
Terms
What each check means, and where it stands.
- Artifact integrity
- The model bytes are checked against the approved digest before a session loads them.
- In the experiment
- Configuration integrity
- The configuration digest is part of the release and compared on every report.
- In the experiment
- Release authorization
- A release is signed and approved before it can be loaded.
- In the experiment
- Destination-bound approval
- An approval names the environment and resource it applies to.
- In the experiment
- Runtime identity
- The runtime reports which release it loaded, under which runtime policy.
- Worker self-report
- Version mismatch
- Approved and reported identities differ, shown as reload pending.
- In the experiment
- Deployment evidence
- Every observation is kept, including ones that confirm nothing.
- Recorded trace
- Recovery verification
- After an explicit reload the reported identity is compared again.
- One recorded reload
- Unauthorized changes
- Wrong destinations and changed components as scripted fault tests.
- Specified, not run
- Evidence freshness
- Heartbeats that show a report is current, not stale.
- Not built
- Model provenance
- Where a model and its training inputs came from, beyond its digest.
