Below is a list of the products and services that Darkstrike™ offers with links to their supporting documentation

Darkstrike Dome™

Darkstrike Dome™ is a fully-hosted security platform designed to protect sensitive data, AI models, and autonomous systems against ransomware, quantum threats, and unsanctioned AI behavior. Darkstrike Dome™ applies a multilayered approach that combines advanced encryption, quantum-ready protections, and distributed resilience to ensure information remains secure, trusted, and available. Unauthorized access attempts are rendered infeasible, while built-in redundancy ensures continuity even under attack or disruption.

By managing the full security stack, Dome eliminates complexity for enterprises, allowing enterprises to focus on operations with confidence. Data and AI assets remain safeguarded by architecture engineered for speed, scale, and post-quantum assurance — making Darkstrike Dome™ the cornerstone of defense-in-depth strategies.

Darkstrike Halo™

Darkstrike Halo™ is a security core designed for organizations that require full control over their data, AI models, and autonomy while still benefiting from Darkstrike’s advanced ransomware resilience, quantum-ready, and unsanctioned AI protections found in our hosted model, Darkstrike Dome™. Halo provides the flexibility and sovereignty enterprises need to address diverse regulatory, operational, and mission-critical requirements.

Darkstrike Halo™ Elite , our most controlled model, reserved for government, defense, and select enterprises. Elite provides absolute sovereignty over data, AI assets, and security processes, combining maximum flexibility with uncompromising protection.

Darkstrike Halo™ Pro, our self-hosted model for clients who want to retain direct control over their infrastructure while leveraging Darkstrike’s advanced security engine. Pro balances autonomy with Darkstrike’s layered protections.

Darkstrike Halo™ Standard, our hybrid model, allows clients to maintain full control over their data and AI models while relying on Darkstrike to manage security operations. Since Darkstrike Halo™ Lite manages critical security operations, it delivers the best of both worlds — the data sovereignty of a self-hosted model combined with the security integrity of our fully-hosted model, Darkstrike Dome™.

Ransomware Protection Service

Our Ransomware Protection Service employs a multi-layered architecture that restructures and distributes data across controlled environments. This approach ensures that unauthorized access or modification is infeasible without meeting the highest threshold of validation, effectively neutralizing attempts to encrypt, ransom, or exfiltrate protected information.

By combining advanced cryptographic protections with distributed resilience, our Ransomware Protection Service safeguards critical data, AI models, and autonomy against ransomware campaigns and emerging quantum threats. Only data and AI models secured within Darkstrike’s protocols receives these protections. Copies stored outside the Darkstrike environment are not covered by our Ransomware Protection Service.

DNA Security Service‡

DNA Security Service leverages the DNA quaternary nucleotide structure for encoding and encrypting data. Using quantum-secure or quantum-resistant DNA quaternary encoding expands the cryptographic key space, rendering decryption, including brute-force methods, computationally infeasible. The proprietary encoding and encryption process preserves the underlying randomness and entropy of the data, ensuring cryptographic integrity. Encryption is applied at either the information-theoretic or computational level, depending on the confidentiality requirements of the dataset.

This service provides DNA encoding, encryption, decoding, and decryption but does not include DNA storage. For users requiring DNA storage, a nucleotide balancing service is available to maintain entropy and randomness prior to synthetic DNA synthesis and sequencing.

Highlights

EEG Security Service‡

EEG Security Service requires users to wear an EEG device, which captures brainwave patterns during a specific mental task. Electroencephalographic (EEG) signals are used as a secondary encryption key to lock the quantum-secure encryption and to secure the restructured and replicated data. EEG patterns are biologically unique and cannot be forged like passwords or fingerprints.

EEG signals prevents replay attacks as they change slightly every session, ensuring a new biometric key each time. Small variations in EEG signals do not prevent decryption, ensuring reliability.

  • If an adversary obtains a user’s encrypted files, they cannot decrypt them.
  • If an adversary steals an encryption key, it’s locked behind the individual user’s EEG.
  • If an adversary accesses storage locations, the data remains unreadable without the blueprint which is locked behind the individual user’s EEG.
  • If an adversary copies an individual’s EEG, Zero-Knowledge Proofs prevent replay attacks.‡

Quantum Entropy Service

Quantum Entropy Service provides non-deterministic random for key encryption and other operations from a quantum random number generator (QRNG), which is powered by the laws of physics and quantum mechanics. All QRNG devices are successfully tested against NIST SP800-90 and Dieharder 2 series of standards.  Quantum entropy source is shot noise of the electron tunnelling through a doped semiconductor P-N junction with an on-demand conditioned entropy pool for intensive encryption operations. Our Quantum Entropy Service provides buffering and failover while adding entropy to the pool when entropy falls below configured threshold.

All of our encryption operations for Darkstrike Dome™ and Darkstrike Halo™ utilize QRNG-derived entropy. Users can retrieve random numbers from Linux-based servers for key encryption and other operations from our online servers. Entropy can be accessed via our API.‡

Quantum Key Generation Service

Quantum Key Generation Service enables multiple endpoints to create encryption keys derived from QRNG random without distributing keys or QRNG random between such endpoints, eliminating key transmission and “harvest now, decrypt later” risk.  Service enables practical implementation of information-theoretic data security without key or random transmission – achieving the security of quantum key distribution (QKD) within a classical framework.

While service is primarily utilized for quantum-secure (information-theoretic security) key generation, it may be used for quantum-resistant (computational security) key generation.

Encryption Operations

  • Information-theoretic security: One-Time Pad
  • Computational Security: AES-256 (GCM)
  • Encapsulation: CRYSTALS-Kyber1024
  • Digital Signatures: CRYSTALS-Dilithium5

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Quantum Messaging Service

The Quantum Messaging Service establishes Zero Trust Trusted (ZTT) Channels, adhering to Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) principles for secure and authenticated communication. Mutual TLS is enforced across all cluster endpoints, requiring client certificates from the same trust chain for access. ZTT Channels integrate rigorous verification protocols, adaptive access controls, and advanced security mechanisms to protect against evolving threats.

Atomic Cryptography Service‡

Atomic Cryptography Service provides atomic decryption, re-encryption, and zeroization verified by Zero-Knowledge Scalable Transparent Arguments of Knowledge (zk-STARKs)‡, ensuring that the such processes are both secure and verifiable without exposing sensitive data.

Our Atomic Cryptography Service treats the decryption and re-encryption of data as a single, inseparable operation. The goal is to ensure that the data is never left in plaintext for longer than absolutely necessary and that the operation is performed in a way that prevents intermediate exposure.

Highlights

  • Ensures decryption was performed correctly.
  • Ensures data was re-encrypted correctly without being exposed.
  • Ensures zeroization was performed to securely wipe any systems or elements that perform encryption and other operations.

Zeroization Service

Service zeroizes various systems and elements that perform encryption and other operations.

Highlights

  • Systems:
    • Cryptographic Systems
    • Memory
    • Persistent Storage
    • Networking Buffers
    • Cloud Environments
  • Elements:
    • Unused QRNG Random
    • Temporary Encryption Keys
    • Used Encryption Keys
    • Used Encryption-Related Metadata
    • Intermediate Computations
    • Deleted Plaintext

zk-STARKs Service‡

The zk-STARKs Service implements cryptographic protocols that enable a prover to demonstrate to a verifier that a computation has been performed correctly or a specific value is known, without revealing the value or underlying data. This ensures that encryption, decryption, and zeroization operations can be verified for correctness without exposing sensitive information.

Following each encryption, decryption, or zeroization operation, the service generates a unique, serialized, fixed-length cryptographically secure identifier based on zk-STARKs. This identifier encapsulates a session ID, random nonce, cryptographic context, operation purpose, and timestamp, ensuring traceability and verifiability while maintaining data confidentiality.

Highlights

  • Verification Service confirms event occurred
  • If event occurred, verification algorithm determines prover commitment and sends validation to service
  • If event did not occur, task is re-run
