ARCHITECTURE

Two-Gate Governance Architecture

Defense-in-depth operational control with pre-commit and in-flight gates

Pre-Commit Gate

Go/No-Go Decision

Verifies channel conditions meet policy thresholds before any key material is committed.

QBER validation
Detection count verification
Weather impact assessment
Automatic abort on anomaly

In-Flight Monitoring

Real-Time Analysis

Continuous monitoring during transmission to detect degradation that aggregate or average metrics may miss.

Per-batch QBER analysis
Sliding window evaluation
Regime change detection
Instant halt capability
COMPLIANCE

Built for Compliance

Aligned with international standards for quantum key distribution security
