Security // 07LEVEL-3 // PUBLIC SUMMARY

Defense-grade governance for extreme research.

Crux operates under layered security and compliance protocols spanning physical containment, cryptographic transmission, biometric access, and AI-supervised surveillance.

Protocols // SEC-01..08

Eight protocols. One envelope.

Each protocol is independently audited and operates without single-operator override.

SEC-01

Multi-Layer Containment

Five concentric containment envelopes, each independently instrumented, with cross-envelope integrity correlation enforced by the synchronization mesh.

SEC-02

Biometric Verification

Iris + vascular dual-factor identification at every threshold, continuously revalidated against behavioral baseline.

SEC-03

Quantum Encryption

Post-quantum cryptography (Kyber-1024 / AES-256) for every internal and external transmission. No plaintext channels.

SEC-04

NFC-Tracked Materials

All regulated substances carry an NFC tag from synthesis to disposal. Chain-of-custody is cryptographically verified at each transfer.

SEC-05

AI Surveillance Grid

Anomaly-detection models supervise environmental, behavioral, and instrumental telemetry. All decisions are reviewed by paired human operators.

SEC-06

Hazard Response

Automated lockdown, atmospheric venting, and emergency containment protocols engage within 180 ms of threshold breach.

SEC-07

Controlled Access Protocols

Personnel clearance is re-derived per session against biometric, cryptographic, and contextual factors. No persistent privileges.

SEC-08

External Audit

Independent observers from partner institutions conduct quarterly inspections of containment integrity and assessment provenance.
