Anti-Tamper AI for the
Tactical Edge

Secure mission-critical intelligence in contested environments where hardware can be compromised or captured.

Strategic Context

JADC2 and the Zero-Trust Edge

Modern warfare demands AI processing at the tactical edge—on drones, vehicles, and forward-deployed sensors. These are by definition "Zero Trust" zones where hardware can be physically captured by adversaries. Traditional encryption protects data at rest, but algorithms are vulnerable during execution.

Lucid's Verifiable Compute platform ensures that classified models and sensitive data remain cryptographically sealed even if the physical hardware falls into enemy hands. We provide the "Hardware-Rooted Immunity" required for Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2).

The Technical Mechanism

Ephemeral Key Management:

Keys are generated and stored exclusively within the secure processor, never touching persistent storage.

Tamper Detection:

Continuous monitoring of hardware voltage and clock cycles to detect physical tampering or side-channel attacks.

Instant Wipe:

Cryptographic destruction of all sensitive data and keys the millisecond a security violation is detected.

The Lucid Argument

Sovereignty as National Security

Operational independence depends on technical independence. Lucid enables the use of best-in-class global infrastructure without surrendering the sovereignty of national data.

IL6
Hardware Isolation

Meet IL6 confidentiality standards via logical isolation (requires physical separation waiver for legacy cloud policies).

Zero
Trust in Hardware

Secure the workload from the hardware itself, assuming the host environment is adversarial.

100%
Model Protection

Ensure proprietary and classified algorithms are never leaked, regardless of deployment location.
