01
Localized AI-Driven Credential Detection
EO 14028 · CMMC 2.0 · CISA CDM Phase 4
On-premise, air-gapped detection that combines deterministic scanning with AI-driven contextual review. Eliminates the tradeoff between detection precision and data sovereignty for federal supply chains.
Concept · Pre-Phase I
02
Cryptographically-Attested AI Agents
OMB M-26-05 · NIST AI RMF · NIST CAISI
Attestation frameworks that bind every multi-agent action to a signed, auditable claim. Provides the substrate the federal AI governance community has explicitly identified as missing.
Concept · Pre-Phase I
03
Post-Quantum-Ready Hybrid Signatures
CNSA 2.0 · FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) · CNSSP-15
Hybrid envelope formats pairing classical signatures with NIST post-quantum schemes. Clean migration path that does not break existing signed-evidence systems.
Concept · Pre-Phase I
04
Tamper-Evident Audit Chains
NIST 800-53 AU-9(3) · AU-10 · Federal Records Act
Append-only chain primitives that make any modification structurally detectable through cryptographic linkage. Replaces “we believe the log is accurate” with mathematically provable integrity.
Concept · Pre-Phase I
05
Substrate-Independent Permanent Records
NARA Modernization · Federal Records Act · A-130
Canonical record formats designed to remain verifiable on silicon, optical, and biological storage media. Readable by any future implementation, without dependency on the original vendor.
Concept · Pre-Phase I
06
Cross-Agency Evidence Federation
Federal Data Strategy · EBP Act 2018
Witness-quorum formats that allow multiple agencies to attest to shared evidence without exposing source data. Cryptographic non-repudiation for both parties.
Concept · Pre-Phase I
07
FOIA-Ready Cryptographic Provenance
DOJ FOIA Modernization · OIP Mandate
Semantic-search primitives over content-addressed evidence stores. Reduces response time from months to hours, with cryptographic proof of what was searched, returned, redacted, and why.
Concept · Pre-Phase I
08
Air-Gapped Reasoning for Contested Ops
JADC2 · SOFWERX · USMC Force Design 2030
Localized reasoning architectures for ships, submarines, austere FOBs, and other contested environments where frontier-AI APIs are unavailable. Verifiable evidence chains that survive degraded comms.
Concept · Pre-Phase I
09
Mobile Signed-Knowledge for Field Operators
VHA IHT 2.0 · FDA · FEMA · CBP · IRS · USDA
Phone-deployable architectures with offline cryptographic verification of authoritative procedural reference material. Every answer traceable to its source authority.
Concept · Pre-Phase I
10
Provable Structural Alignment
DoD AI Ethical Principles · CDAO · DARPA MATHBAC
Structural alignment frameworks where adversarial rejection floors emerge from algebraic invariants rather than statistical training. Mathematical foundation Responsible AI program managers can defend in DoD AI ethics reviews.
