SERPENTINE
Cryptographic Hardening & Provenance Suite
Protecting sensitive media, instructions, and datasets in AI-saturated, post-quantum environments through advanced cryptographic hardening and origin binding technologies.
The Challenges We Face
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, traditional security measures are becoming inadequate against sophisticated AI-powered attacks and the looming threat of quantum computing.

Organizations need protection that can withstand:
  • Large-scale automated analysis by ML systems
  • Bulk pattern discovery and data scraping
  • Post-quantum cryptographic vulnerabilities
  • Vendor lock-in and single-point failures

SERPENTINE addresses these challenges with a comprehensive, future-proof approach to data protection that remains effective as computational power scales exponentially.

What SERPENTINE Is
Content Hardening Layer
Adds a protection envelope around files and streams using layered methods that do not depend on a single vendor stack or mathematical assumption.

Multiple independent security layers ensure robust protection.
Origin Binding
Cryptographic manifests (C2PA-style) that assert who/what/when for every protected artifact, supporting comprehensive audit trails and chain-of-custody verification.
Compute-Agnostic Operation
Effective across CPU/GPU/accelerators and future compute architectures, with defense-in-depth that remains useful even as raw computational power scales dramatically.
Why SERPENTINE Is Different
AI-Resilient Posture
Specifically designed to resist large-scale automated analysis and bulk pattern discovery by machine learning systems.

Our multi-layered approach makes unauthorized analysis computationally expensive.

Post-Quantum Aware
Defense layers are not tied solely to factoring, lattices, or any single hardness class.

Future-proof protection against quantum computing threats.

Vendor-Neutral
Works across ROCm/SYCL/Vulkan/Metal and standard OS stacks with no single-vendor lock-in. Maximum flexibility and interoperability.

Provenance-First
Signed, tamper-evident manifests with selective disclosure policies and optional watermarking for complete asset tracking and verification.

Primary Use Cases
1
IP & Pre-Release Assets
Share review copies and design data without exposing underlying structure to commodity scrapers and batch analyzers.

Protect valuable intellectual property during development phases.

2
Dataset & Model Hygiene
Distribute labeled corpora to vendors and classrooms while retaining internal ground-truth control.
Maintain data integrity across distributed environments.
1
Secure Lab/Ranges Messaging
Briefs, checklists, and media that remain practical for authorized teams and costly for bulk unauthorized processing.

Enhanced security for sensitive communications.

2
Provenance & Compliance
Bind outputs to origin with cryptographic evidence for audits and after-action review.

Meet regulatory requirements with verifiable asset tracking.

Integration Architecture
01
Pipeline Integration
Ships as CLI/API with hook points for CI/CD and MLOps workflows.

Cryptographic manifests travel seamlessly with protected assets throughout your development pipeline.
02
Media & Scene Compatibility
Fully compatible with OpenUSD/Hydra workflows, supporting both frame-level and asset-level provenance tracking.

Integrates naturally with existing media production pipelines.
03
Energy-Aware Operations

Works with Orchestral-Q to minimize energy consumption per protected artifact and intelligently manage burst processing windows in production environments.
Security Posture
SERPENTINE implements a comprehensive security framework designed for real-world threats and future challenges.
Defense-in-Depth
Multiple independent security layers ensure that compromise of one layer does not expose plaintext data.

Redundant protection mechanisms provide robust security even under adverse conditions.
Adversarial Evaluation
Rigorously tested against ML-assisted bulk analysis attacks.

Comprehensive evaluation results demonstrate effectiveness against sophisticated automated threats.

Summary results available under NDA.
Key Hygiene
Supports rotating cryptographic keys and external entropy sources.

Keys and security policies remain separate from protected artifacts, ensuring clean separation of concerns.
Disclosure Control
Role-based visibility controls with emergency-disclose and kill-switch options.

Granular access management ensures appropriate data access while maintaining security boundaries.

Important Note: No current system is "unbreakable." SERPENTINE is engineered to raise the cost of unauthorized analysis dramatically while keeping authorized use practical. Full specifications and parameters are available under NDA.
