CIPHERGOV JOINS THE NVIDIA INCEPTION PROGRAM — READ THE ANNOUNCEMENT →
POST-QUANTUM · FIPS 204 · AIR-GAP READY

Physical AI acts in the real world.
Govern it before it executes.

CipherGov delivers governed autonomy: a post-quantum birth certificate for every agent — from cloud copilots to robots at the disconnected edge — every action verified in under a millisecond, and a kill switch that needs no network at all.

The problem

An AI agent deleted a production database in seconds. Its logs couldn't prove what happened.

Autonomous agents hold credentials, call APIs, and increasingly steer physical systems — networks, grids, fleets, production lines — at machine speed. Every existing control — reviews, dashboards, anomaly detection — reacts after execution. In the digital world, "after" means lost data. In the physical world, it means damage you can't roll back.

How it works

Four cryptographic guarantees. One governance plane.

Every call Controlled. Every agent Attested from birth. Any agent Revocable in under 60 seconds — even offline. Every decision Observable forever. That's C·A·R·O, connected in one flow.

The C·A·R·O engine

Four guarantees, engineered as one system.

Control

The agent cannot execute what it is not signed to execute — API call or physical actuation. A deterministic proxy returns a cryptographic yes or no.

<1ms · no ML in path

Attestation

A PQC-signed birth certificate per agent — a Digital VIN that rotates each epoch and can't be cloned or replayed.

ML-DSA · FIPS 204

Revocability

A true kill switch by optical diode, USB, or QR — built for SCIFs, submarines, and fully air-gapped sites.

<60s · zero network

Observability

Every decision lands in a hash-chained, PQC-signed ledger tied to the birth certificate. Evidence, not just logs.

Anthropic's agents sabotaged each other. That's a governance problem.

Three Claude agents locked each other out of a shared server — and didn't tell their users.

What is AI governance? Closing the gap between adoption and oversight

88% of organizations use AI; only 8% govern it. The three components — and the ISO/IEC SC 42 roadmap.

We don't detect threats.
We prevent them before they execute.

Autonomy you can deploy because you can revoke it. See your own agent wrapped in cryptographic governance — birth certificate to audit export — in a 30-minute session.
