The Sovereignty Gap

Software Promises Can't Prove Physical Location

Data residency laws in the Middle East, EU, and sovereign nations require proof that data never leaves the jurisdiction. Export controls restrict where advanced AI hardware can operate. Traditional "Trust Me" SLAs provide no protection against hardware spoofing or data rerouting.

Software-only compliance tools can tell you what code ran. They cannot tell you where it ran. When regulators—or prosecutors—come asking, you need physics-based proof, not legal promises.

The Double Lock Advantage

Hardware Root of Trust for Sovereignty

Lucid's Sovereign Shield Auditor combines software verification with hardware-level attestation. Using Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), we cryptographically prove the physical location of every GPU processing your data. Not a promise—a mathematical guarantee.

Technical Mechanism

How It Works

Silicon Identity

Every AI request is signed by the unique private key burned into the GPU's hardware, proving the workload ran on authentic, location-verified silicon.

RTT Triangulation

Continuous Round Trip Time measurements provide physics-based proof that compute is happening within your borders. The speed of light doesn't lie.

Geo-Fenced Execution

Instant cryptographic flagging of any attempt to migrate workloads to unauthorized hardware or jurisdictions.
