Architecture & Verification•🛡️ Duty-of-Care Architecture

Security, Trust & Compliance

Detailed breakdown of Relic Agent Armor runtime action attestation, hardware isolation models, and formal compliance progression.

1. Deterministic Local Action Signing

Every agent action, tool invocation, or external API call is intercepted at the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP). Payloads receive a deterministic cryptographic signature (Ed25519) prior to dispatch. If an action does not match the pre-authorized schema or acceptable parameter limits, execution is halted locally before touching target systems.

# 3-Line Python SDK Integration
from relic_agent_armor import AgentArmor, Policy

armor = AgentArmor(api_key="raa_live_...", policy=Policy.STRICT_CONTAINMENT)
secured_tool = armor.wrap_tool(agent_database_query)
result = secured_tool.execute(query_payload)  # Cryptographically verified & logged

2. NIST SP 800-207 Zero-Trust Architecture Alignment

Relic Agent Armor structures agent control planes into explicit decoupled functional components:

  • Policy Decision Point (PDP): Evaluates runtime actions against declared intent boundaries, token limits, and rate caps.
  • Policy Enforcement Point (PEP): Intercepts, gates, or blocks unverified tool calls before network transmission.
  • Continuous Attestation: Re-authenticates tool contexts per interaction rather than providing persistent session tokens.

3. Node Zero Astral

For critical industrial and enterprise operations, Matrix Core clusters run in dedicated bare-metal environments powered by Node Zero Astral architecture. When cloud or wide-area network connectivity drops, the local sentinel fails over to sovereign mesh communication to maintain essential telemetry logging and secure enclave execution without interruption.
