42 defense layers. Post-quantum cryptography. Cryptographic audit trail. The world's most defensible AI safety infrastructure — test it with your own adversarial prompts.
Every USP is backed by code, patents, and cryptographic proof.
Not one filter. Not five. Forty-two independent detection layers — from Shannon entropy gradients to Lyapunov chaos sentinels. Each layer uses a different scientific domain. Attackers can't game them all.
API keys hashed via quantumSafeHash pipeline — crypto-agile design that auto-upgrades when ML-DSA/ML-KEM lands. 67% PQC-ready today. No competitor even mentions quantum security.
Every scan generates a Proof-of-Auditable-Work — a SHA-256 hash binding the prompt hash, decision, confidence, and timestamp. Tamper-evident. EU AI Act Art. 55 compliant.
The entire 42-layer cascade runs on standard CPU in under 5ms. No NVIDIA dependency. No GPU cost. 90%+ gross margins. The world's most efficient AI safety stack.
Filed under Application #63/994,444 + V2 + V3 Extensions (Claims 1-744). Covering Anti-Extraction Shielding, POAW-Gated RL, AEGIS Intention Gate, and the PQC pipeline. The most defensible AI safety IP on the market.
Prevents model extraction through systematic probing. φ-scaled confidence jitter, probe pattern detection, canary layer injection, and entropy budget enforcement. Your safety IP stays yours.
Feature-by-feature comparison with the market.
| Feature | Lakera Guard | NVIDIA NeMo | Guardrails AI | OHM NI Stack |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Defense Layers | 1 | 3–5 | Custom rules | 42 cascade |
| Latency | ~50ms | ~100ms | ~20ms | <5ms (CPU) |
| PQC Security | ✗ None | ✗ None | ✗ None | ✓ Phase 2 (67%) |
| Audit Trail | ✗ Logs only | ~ Basic | ✗ None | ✓ POAW receipts |
| GPU Required | Depends | Yes (NVIDIA) | No | ✓ CPU-only |
| Patent Protection | ✗ None | NVIDIA's IP | ✗ Open | 744 claims filed |
| Anti-Extraction | ✗ None | ✗ None | ✗ None | ✓ 4-layer shield |

8 of 12 components are quantum-safe today. The rest have migration targets.
The Red Team API and POAW receipts now route through
quantumSafeHash()
— a configurable hash function using
CRYPTO_HASH_ALGORITHM env var. Swap SHA-256 to
SHA-3 with zero code changes.
Phase 3 Roadmap (Q3 2026): ML-DSA (Dilithium) signatures for POAW receipts. ML-KEM (Kyber) for API key exchange. Hybrid verification ensures backward compatibility.
A single cURL command to evaluate any prompt against 42 defense layers.

No GPU costs. No surprise fees. 90%+ gross margins at every tier.
Perfect for evaluation and research.
Full transparency for safety teams.
On-prem, SLA, custom cascade.
