All training data enters a hardware-isolated enclave. The CPU/GPU processes data in encrypted memory that is inaccessible to the host OS, hypervisor, or platform operator. Maximum data protection with the simplest trust model.
Training data never leaves the data owner's premises. Only encrypted model gradients are shared with a secure aggregator. Enables multi-organization training while maintaining complete data locality and privacy compliance.
Data is split into cryptographic "secret shares" distributed across multiple computing nodes. No single node ever holds the complete data. Computations produce correct results while keeping inputs hidden through mathematical guarantees.
Physical AI robots and autonomous agents are tested in isolated sandboxes before certification. Safety boundaries, control compliance, and real-world behavior are verified through hardware-in-the-loop simulation inside TEE-protected environments.
