Operations Authority
TRACE
Trusted Runtime Authorization & Compliance Engine
Hardware-enforced pre-execution compliance that generates cryptographic proofs before kernel launch. Not logging. Not monitoring. Gating.
Trusted Runtime Authorization & Compliance Engine
Hardware-enforced pre-execution compliance that generates cryptographic proofs before kernel launch. Not logging. Not monitoring. Gating.
Software-based compliance can be bypassed by privileged code, disabled by misconfigurations, or simply ignored. TRACE operates below the software trust boundary.
Operations are authorized before they execute. No proof, no execution. This isn't a log—it's a mandatory checkpoint.
Integrates at the driver/firmware boundary. Every compute dispatch, memory transfer, or model load passes through the authority. No alternative execution path to compute or memory exists without passing through TRACE.
Cryptographically binds execution to specific model versions, checkpoint hashes, and provenance chains. Know exactly what ran.
Proofs are independently verifiable by regulators, auditors, or customers—without trusting the operator's software stack.
TRACE is designed for flexible integration with existing accelerator architectures.
Deploy as a secure firmware module with protected execution environment. Minimal silicon changes, fast time-to-market.
Integrate at the microcode level for tightest coupling. Intercept operations before they reach execution units.
Leverage existing trusted execution environments. TRACE authority runs in isolated, attested enclave.
Purpose-built co-processor for maximum security guarantees. Hardware root of trust for compliance.
Regulatory pressure on AI is accelerating. Hardware vendors who ship compliance primitives capture the governance layer—turning regulatory burden into competitive moat.
First-mover advantage in hardware-enforced AI compliance. Not a feature competitors can match with software updates.
Financial services, healthcare, and government buyers require hardware-rooted attestation. Meet them at their requirements.
TRACE creates a new licensing vector. Per-device, per-proof, or enterprise agreements—revenue that scales with deployment.
We're working with accelerator vendors and platform providers to bring hardware-enforced compliance to production silicon.
