Security Model
Hardware Root of Trust
Protoplatz security starts at the hardware level. The system enforces a secure boot chain that begins with an immutable boot ROM and extends through signed firmware images and encrypted system partitions. Any unsigned or tampered artifacts are strictly prohibited from execution.
Governance-Aligned Boundaries
Security boundaries within Protoplatz are aligned with the system's governance hierarchy. The hardware firewall isolates protocol stacks, intelligence layers, and management APIs into distinct, non-overlapping security domains.
Security Primitives
- Hardware Firewall: Enforcing domain-level memory and peripheral isolation.
- Immutable Audit Trail: Cryptographically signed logs of all governance decisions.
- TLS 1.3 Termination: Secure, accelerated communication for all external interfaces.
- Identity Governance: Hardware-locked device and gateway identities.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every operational decision made by the Governance Engine is recorded in an immutable audit trail. This ensures that system state changes and ProtoAccess evaluations are permanently logged for technical due diligence and system auditing.
All external communications are authenticated and authorized before reaching the gateway's internal normalization layer, preventing unauthorized access to the protocol termination hardware.
