Network Traffic Hashing

Hashing network traffic creates a tamper-evident record of what data has transited a link. We benchmark line-rate hashing at 400GbE across CPU and DPU hardware, with an interactive dashboard of the results.

Example Schemes for Verifying High-Stakes AI Agreements

Recomputation-based schemes for verifying that an AI cluster ran the workloads it declared — covering inference (TOPLOC, Token-DiFR) and pre-training — plus the non-determinism, game theory, and practicalities that make them work.

Verification Is a Ladder

Verification is a process, not a one-shot solution. A ladder of technical mechanisms can build trust towards high-stakes coordination over AI — and nuclear verification history shows how the early rungs get climbed.

Understanding Data Center Power Delivery

We mapped the power delivery systems of AI data centers. Our diagram explores the data available at each stage, measurement techniques and signals of interest for AI security.

Network Taps — A First Test

A quick test installation of a 10G network tap for AI verification — passive vs active taps, fibre types, and what scales to production speeds.

The Tray as a Bandwidth Boundary

We used a DPU as a tray-level bandwidth limiter — an extra layer of security for protecting model weights, achieving near line-rate encryption with hardware-offloaded IPsec.
