Security Architecture

Security by
Architecture

No single server ever sees your complete inference. Every connection is encrypted. Every handoff is cryptographically signed. Your data is protected at every layer.

TLS 1.3 Encrypted
Ed25519 Identity
HMAC-SHA256 Signed
Input Validated

Four Layers of Protection

Every request passes through multiple independent security layers before, during, and after processing.

End-to-End Encrypted Transport

libp2p + TLS 1.3

Your prompt is encrypted the moment it leaves your device. Each server-to-server hop is independently encrypted. No intermediary can read data in transit.

Mutual TLS 1.3 on every connection
Independent encryption per hop
No intermediary can read data in transit
Bank and government-grade encryption

Cryptographic Server Identity

Ed25519 Peer IDs

Every server has a unique cryptographic identity. You can verify you are talking to the intended server. No impersonation, no fake servers.

Unique Ed25519 key pair per server
Verifiable server identity
Network poison-resistant
Unforgeable reputation chain

Activation Integrity Verification

HMAC-SHA256 Signing

Each server signs the activation tensors it passes using HMAC-SHA256. Any tampering is detected immediately before processing continues.

Unique random key per session
Cryptographic signature on every handoff
Receiving server verifies before processing
Tamper detection is immediate

Input Validation & Protection

Resource Boundary Defense

Every incoming tensor is validated against size bounds. Oversized payloads are rejected. Malformed inputs never reach the model.

Size-bounded tensor validation
DoS attack prevention
Memory allocation protection
Malformed input rejection

The Journey of a Secure Request

Follow a single prompt from your device through the distributed network and back -- encrypted and verified at every step.

1

Your Prompt

3

Tokenization

Converted to vectors

4

Layer Splitting

Split across servers

5

HMAC Signing

Signed at each handoff

6

Verified Output

Integrity confirmed

Proven Cryptographic Standards

We use battle-tested protocols trusted by the world's most security-critical systems.

TLS 1.3

Transport Layer Security

What it does

Encrypts all data in transit between your device and every server in the pipeline.

How it works

Mutual authentication ensures both parties verify identity before exchanging data. Forward secrecy means even compromised keys cannot decrypt past sessions.

Also used by

Banks, governments, healthcare systems, military communications.

Ed25519

Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm

What it does

Generates unforgeable cryptographic identities for every server node.

How it works

Each server has a unique public-private key pair. The public key serves as its PeerID. Any message signed with the private key can be verified by anyone with the public key.

Also used by

SSH keys, Signal Protocol, Tor network, cryptocurrency wallets.

HMAC-SHA256

Hash-based Message Authentication Code

What it does

Signs every tensor handoff between servers to detect any tampering.

How it works

A unique session key generates a cryptographic tag for each data payload. The receiving server recomputes the tag and compares. Any difference means the data was altered.

Also used by

API authentication, JWT tokens, AWS request signing, blockchain verification.

Distributed = More Private

No single server ever sees your complete inference. The distributed architecture is inherently more private than any centralized setup.

Server A
L10-19
Server B
L20-29
Server C

Server A

Server C

Cannot reconstruct prompt

No Single Point of Visibility

Your prompt is converted into high-dimensional vectors before it reaches the first transformer block. No server ever sees human-readable text -- only intermediate mathematical representations.

Layer-Level Isolation

Server A processes layers 0-9, Server B handles 10-19, Server C takes 20-29. Each sees only a slice of the computation -- none has enough to reconstruct your original prompt.

Signed Handoffs

Think of it like a relay race: each runner carries the baton for one leg, but no single runner knows the full route. And every handoff is cryptographically signed to prove no one switched the baton.

Centralized vs. Distributed

See why distributing computation across multiple servers provides inherently stronger privacy.

Centralized AI

Single Server Architecture
One server sees your complete prompt
One server processes all model layers
Single point of compromise = full data exposure
Provider has complete access to your data
Trust is placed in a single entity

AgentGrid Distributed

Multi-Server Architecture
No server sees your complete prompt
Model layers split across many servers
Compromising one server reveals only activation tensors
Cryptographic verification at every handoff
Trust is distributed and mathematically enforced
