InnoviGuard
InnoviGuard provides tamper-evident data integrity for satellite and ground segment communications by generating unforgeable mathematical proofs at each transmission hop. The system validates locally at the destination with no connectivity, servers, or databases required, and pinpoints exactly where tampering or silent link failures occurred. Its proof engine relies on mathematical incompleteness rather than computational hardness, eliminating the risk of stolen secrets.

Problem
Satellite and ground segment communications are vulnerable to data tampering and silent link failures that standard encryption and network monitoring cannot reliably detect. Without continuous connectivity or centralized infrastructure, operators often cannot verify data integrity at the destination or determine at which point in a multi-hop relay chain a breach occurred.
Solution
InnoviGuard generates an unforgeable mathematical proof at the source whenever a command or telemetry frame is created, binding its content, origin, and intended destination. At each subsequent hop—ground station, uplink, or inter-satellite relay—a new proof is added alongside the previous ones, creating a verifiable chain. The destination validates all proofs locally, with no servers, databases, or signal required; if data was altered or a link went silent, validation fails automatically. The system identifies exactly which hop tampering occurred at, delivering full chain of custody based on mathematical incompleteness rather than computational hardness.
Target Audience
Primary customers are satellite operators and ground segment providers who need tamper-evident integrity for command and telemetry links across multi-hop relay chains.
Features
- Unforgeable proof generated at data creation, binding content, origin, and destination
- Incremental proof addition at each transmission hop for a complete verifiable chain
- Local validation at destination requiring no connectivity, servers, or databases
- Exact tamper location identification within the relay chain, eliminating guesswork
- Proof engine based on mathematical incompleteness, not computational hardness, with no secrets to steal
