KERNEL SECURITY // AUDIO & VIDEO SIGNING AND VERIFICATION

Investor Deck

Context: Global Trust Crisis

PROTECTING INFORMATION SOVEREIGNTY

Disinformation and deepfakes have evolved from a digital nuisance to a security risk for businesses, governments, and media organizations.

THE PROBLEM

We live in the post-truth era. Generative AI already produces fake statements by heads of state and celebrities that the human eye can't tell apart. The price: weaker democracies, more volatile markets and reputations that collapse in minutes.

  • —Manipulation of electoral processes.
  • —Institutional identity impersonation.
  • —Industrial-scale multimedia fraud.
OUR SOLUTION

We don't chase what's fake: we make what's authentic provable. Content is signed at the source, the signature travels inside the signal and anyone can check who published it. Our vision: that signature born inside the camera sensor itself.

  • —Cryptographic author identity, with a non-exportable private key.
  • —Authorship anyone can check, free and with no account.
  • —Auditable transparency log (in development).

THE FLOW OF THE SIGNATURE

End-to-end asymmetric cryptography.

01

Kernel ID

The author creates their cryptographic identity in the browser. The private key cannot be exported and never leaves their device: not even we can see it.

02

Signing

Our engine embeds the signature inside the audio and video, designed to be imperceptible and bound to that Kernel ID.

03

Verification

Whoever receives the file checks it for free, no account needed: who signed it, with a cryptographic proof for each channel.

Complementary to C2PA

Unlike traditional metadata, our watermark lives in the signal itself. So it survives common re-encoding, compression and metadata stripping. Heavy edits can still remove it from a channel — which is why the audio and the video are proven separately, each one valid or not.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY

Our infrastructure plan (ARM CPUs and dedicated GPUs) targets cutting the cost per minute from €0.10 to €0.015. That margin would let us invest in customer acquisition without giving up profitability.

PHASE 1: SIGNING IN SOFTWARE

2026 → H1 2027 // PLATFORM LIVE

  • Live in production: web dashboard, signing API and free public verification.
  • Target: the first 100 issuers (news agencies and creators).
  • Target: €2.5M Seed round to scale the R&D team.
PHASE 2: SIGNING AT THE SENSOR

H2 2027 // HARDWARE INTEGRATION

  • Target: licensing agreements with camera manufacturers for signing at the source.
  • Browser extension to verify without leaving the page.
  • Public, auditable transparency log.
TIER: HEAD OF STATESTATUS: STRATEGIC AMBITION
OUR NORTH-STAR AMBITION

Our 2027 ambition: a head-of-state address signed at the source, so anyone, including the international press, can check who published it.
