Security

Trust built into the architecture, not bolted onto the policy.

EdgeLance runs where an adversary can jam, spoof, capture, and impersonate. Every layer assumes it, from who can join the mission to which sensor report the tracker will believe.

Defense in depth

Every layer fails closed.

Fail-closed: a request that fails any layer stops there.

Identity and access

Every service entry point checks role and mission. Unknown roles are denied, not defaulted. Operators check in by biometric, badge, or session, and access ends when the mission does.

Least privilege between components

Each mission block gets its own credentials and may publish and subscribe only to the topics it needs. A compromised camera feed cannot issue a task.

Signed orders

Plan tasks are signed when approved and bound to their mission. Execution accepts only signed requests, so a forged or replayed directive is refused.

Trusted inputs

The tracker validates every observation against the mission schema and rejects untrusted, foreign, backdated, and downgrading reports. A spoofed sensor cannot take over an established track.

Device trust

Devices are enrolled and approved before they join the mission mesh. Posture is tracked, and any node can be revoked at once.

Model trust

Only approved models run. Each answer records which model produced it and on what sources, and policy decides what runs on which device at which classification.

Complete control of intelligence

Own it, use it, destroy it, and prove all three.

The government owns the data

Mission data, models, prompts, outputs, and the record stay with the customer. Nothing phones home.

Provable deletion

When a mission ends, the burn destroys the encryption keys and everything under them, including data derived from it for AI search. A signed receipt proves what was destroyed and when.

The record survives the burn

The signed after-action record outlives the mission data. Together they show when intelligence was created, what grounded it, who saw it, and when it was destroyed.

Every decision attributed

Approvals, overrides, dispatches, and AI recommendations are logged to a person and a time in an append-only record.

Delivery and accreditation

Ready for the networks you actually run.

Air-gapped install

EdgeLance installs into disconnected Kubernetes environments from one signed package. Each mission block is an optional component, so a deployment carries only what the mission needs.

Hardened runtime

Containers run with read-only root filesystems and per-component broker credentials drawn from a single managed secret.

Accreditation artifacts

Each release produces its software bill of materials, control mapping, and provenance attestation from the same build that produces the software.

Works with your process

EdgeLance fits existing ATO, STIG, and customer security processes rather than working around them.
