THE PHYSICAL TRUST LAYER

Every cryptographic guarantee in Conduit OS depends on the physical trust layer beneath it. This is that layer.

Conduit OS enforces authority proofs, computable contracts, and settlement finality in software. But software attestation has limits. A motivated adversary can compromise software. The Trusted Execution Layer's Authority operation requires that the trust guarantee reaches all the way to the hardware. These nodes exist because the Trusted Execution Layer demands them.

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 cryptographic modules, MIL-STD-810G environmental hardening, TEE-backed secure enclaves with destruction-on-tamper. These specifications were not chosen from a hardware catalog. They were derived from what the Trusted Execution Layer requires at the physical layer.

Conduit Network is what comes into existence when Conduit OS runs on Trusted Execution Layer-compliant hardware. This is that hardware.

TRUSTED EXECUTION LAYER

Hardware specifications derived from the Trusted Execution Layer.

Five operations that run atomically, every time, by specification.

See the Trusted Execution Layer
01

FIPS 140-2 Level 3

Federal cryptographic module standard. Physical tamper-evidence required - the module must detect and respond to physical tampering attempts. Level 3 is the level required for devices that operate in physically exposed environments.

02

MIL-STD-810G

U.S. military environmental engineering standard. Covers temperature extremes, humidity, vibration, shock, altitude, and other environmental stressors. Required for deployment in field and edge environments.

03

TEE-Backed Enclaves

Hardware-enforced trusted execution environment. Cryptographic operations and key material are isolated from the operating system. A software compromise cannot extract keys held in the TEE.

04

Destruction-on-Tamper

Physical intrusion triggers irreversible key destruction. A confiscated or compromised node yields no cryptographic material.

05

Threshold Cryptography

No complete key exists on any single device. Distributed key material requires threshold participation - compromising one node is cryptographically useless.

CRYPTOGRAPHIC RESILIENCE

Cryptographic resilience is physical, not software-configured.

Every node on Conduit Network operates in a hardware-enforced secure enclave. Cryptographic guarantees - the tamper-evidence, the key isolation, the attestation - are enforced by the hardware, not by software configuration. A compromise of the software layer does not compromise the cryptographic guarantees, because the keys are held in hardware that the software cannot read.

This is the difference between "we encrypted it" and "the hardware makes it impossible to unencrypt without the physical device." For telecom infrastructure - where adversarial actors actively target network nodes - the distinction is not theoretical. It is the design requirement.

The hardware specifications (FIPS 140-2 Level 3, MIL-STD-810G, TEE-backed enclaves, destruction-on-tamper) exist because the Trusted Execution Layer's Authority requirement reaches all the way down to the silicon. The Trusted Execution Layer demanded physical-level security. The hardware is the answer.

THE NETWORK

The physical substrate of Conduit Network

Conduit Network is what comes into existence when these nodes run Conduit OS. The hardware is the physical substrate. The Network is the realization.

The Trusted Execution Layer demanded physical-level security. This is the answer.
