The architecture of sovereignty.

Five layers. One coherent system. Your identity, represented and governed across every AI system.

Five layers. One sovereign identity.

01
Identity Substrate
The foundation of sovereign identity

A cryptographically self-sovereign identity layer built on zero-knowledge proofs and distributed key management. Your Aura exists as a portable, tamper-proof identity substrate — not stored in any single system.

Capabilities
  • Zero-knowledge identity proofs
  • Distributed key management
  • Cross-system portability
  • Hardware security module support
02
Behavioral Graph
Continuous representation of who you are

A living, evolving model of your values, preferences, goals, and behavioral patterns. Not a static profile — an active representation engine that synthesizes context from consented data sources.

Capabilities
  • Temporal behavioral modeling
  • Intent inference engine
  • Preference graph
  • Consent-gated data federation
03
Governance Layer
You set the rules. AI systems must follow them.

A declarative policy engine that lets you define exactly how your Aura can be used by AI systems. Granular permissions, purpose limitations, and time-bounded access — all enforced at runtime.

Capabilities
  • Declarative permission policies
  • Purpose limitation enforcement
  • Time-bounded access control
  • Audit trail generation
04
Runtime Mediator
The protocol between you and every AI

When an AI system makes a decision about you, the Runtime Mediator intercepts, enriches, and validates that decision against your Aura. Real-time coherence enforcement at scale.

Capabilities
  • Sub-millisecond mediation
  • Agent-to-agent coherence
  • Decision audit logging
  • Conflict resolution engine
05
Aura Runtime
Behavioral enforcement at every interaction boundary.

The runtime enforcement layer that activates your Aura at every interaction. Pre-emission verification, cross-agent consistency, and behavioral audit — all executed before any output reaches you. Your governance, enforced in real time.

Capabilities
  • Cross-agent synchronization
  • Intent broadcasting
  • Pre-emission behavioral enforcement
  • Eventual consistency guarantees

Built on first principles.

Privacy by Architecture

Aura never aggregates personal data at the center. Every representation is computed locally and shared only through zero-knowledge proofs.

Protocol-Layer Design

Aura sits below AI applications — like TCP/IP sits below the internet. It doesn't compete with AI systems; it mediates between them and people.

Federated, Not Centralized

No single point of failure. No single point of control. Aura instances are sovereign by design — federated for interoperability without compromise.

Open Standards

Built on W3C DID standards, Verifiable Credentials, and open agent protocols. Aura is designed to be the industry standard — not a proprietary silo.
