Polaris

Polaris is the trust fabric for live compute: continuous cryptographic proof that sensitive workloads are running where they should, under the conditions they should, for as long as they run.

Workloads run inside hardware-backed Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) on AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX, and NVIDIA confidential GPUs. Memory is encrypted by the processor itself, and the hardware produces cryptographically signed proof of what is running. Nobody outside the environment can read or alter your workload: not the cloud provider, not the host operating system, not an administrator with root access, and not Fr0ntierX.

Why Polaris​

Compute is leaving the clean perimeter. Sensitive workloads now run across cloud, sovereign, GPU, and partner infrastructure that no single organization fully owns or controls. The question that matters has shifted from "is the data center secure?" to "is this workload still running in the right environment, under the right conditions, right now?"

Data at rest is settled: encrypted storage. Data in transit is settled: TLS. The trust gap opens during execution, the moment a CPU starts working on your data. That gap is where the sensitive part of every workload lives: prompts, model weights, embeddings, medical records, financial data. Confidential computing closes it by protecting data in use, but confidential computing alone proves the environment at launch. Polaris proves it for the life of the workload, anchored in the silicon root of trust, and halts or alerts on invalid proof.

For buyers who need proof instead of assurances, Polaris makes three guarantees:

  • Isolation. The workload runs in a TEE whose memory is encrypted with keys held in silicon. The infrastructure underneath, from the hypervisor to the host OS to the cloud operator, cannot look inside.
  • Proof. The hardware signs an attestation report describing exactly what booted. Clients verify that signature against the chip manufacturer's published keys before sending a single byte of sensitive data. The trust anchor is math, not a vendor's promise.
  • Consequences. Attestation is not a one-time checkbox. Polaris continuously re-verifies the environment, and if it stops looking healthy, access to decryption keys is revoked automatically. A compromised environment loses the ability to read its own data.

The loop behind those guarantees runs from signal to enforcement, continuously, the entire time a workload runs: protect data in use with confidential computing, verify with continuous attestation across platform, kernel, image, and runtime, decide by measuring the evidence against the policy and trust baselines you define, and respond with an alert, a halt, or both, on your terms. A tampered run stops at once.

What's in the platform​

ComponentWhat it does
Polaris Secure ProxySits in front of your unmodified workload inside the TEE. Terminates TLS, binds the connection to the hardware attestation, and transparently encrypts and decrypts traffic.
Polaris Policy ManagerAn independent appraisal service that continuously verifies the environment across multiple layers and controls access to KMS keys based on the result.
Polaris SentinelA runtime agent that watches workload behavior and kernel integrity from inside the environment, feeding evidence into the continuous appraisal.
Polaris SDKA TypeScript library for clients: verify attestation end to end, pin the connection to attested hardware, and encrypt data for the TEE.

Where it runs​

One trust model, every operating environment. The trust engine stays constant. The same evidence, policy, and response model span every surface: AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX, and NVIDIA confidential GPUs on Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud, as well as on-premises on your own confidential-computing-capable hardware. See Supported Platforms for the full matrix.

Your application does not change. Polaris turns your existing container into a confidential, attested workload. No rewrites, no refactoring, no cloud-specific rebuilds.
