Provable Trust for Private Software

Verify Without Revealing

Prove what is true about your software, infrastructure and runtime — without exposing what is valuable. Analyze → Claim → Proof → Passport → Verify, checked by anyone with the independent verifier, not just us.

Your source code is never shown. Anyone can check the signature with the independent verifier.

Illustrative example — not a live proof.

How It Works

Analyze → Claim → Proof → Passport → Verify

STEP 01

Analyze

Run ZKAV against your repository, license set, network topology or a running container — on your own machine with the CLI, so nothing leaves your infrastructure — or import a public repository into the hosted workspace (it is a temporary copy for analysis, removed after 7 days without use and deletable at any time).

STEP 02

Claim

State what should be true — a license policy, a network boundary, a runtime property — as a specific, falsifiable claim.

STEP 03

Proof

ZKAV evaluates the claim against what it actually observed and signs the result: supported, refuted, or honestly unknown — never invented.

STEP 04

Passport

Supported claims are assembled into a signed Technology Passport you can share with investors, customers or auditors.

STEP 05

Verify

Anyone can check the passport with the standalone verifier — no account and no source code needed. Proofs are checked against a circuit you pin; the current trusted setup is a development ceremony (see the roadmap).

Illustrative example — three outcomes, never a made-up confidence score

Claim Result

Evidence

Capture complete: no kernel drops, captured = counted
Outgoing flow to 203.0.113.9:443 is outside the declared allowed networks
Signed by a pinned observer key
Illustrative example — not a live proof. A real passport is signed and checked with the independent verifier, not this page.

9 verifiers we stand behind

The architecture-graph engine has 22 methods. Nine of them can name what observes the claim, what would refute it, and what they cannot see — so nine are enabled. The other thirteen are listed below with the reason.

A tool that answers everything answers some of it badly, and one bad proof devalues the rest.

Observed

Derived from your own architecture and schema — we saw this ourselves

  • No Persistent Logs
  • No Telemetry
  • Data Stays Local
  • Tenant Isolation
  • Authorization on Path
  • No Backdoor Path
  • No External Connections
  • No Direct DB Access
  • No PII Leaving Perimeter

Declared

Your signed statement. We record and sign that you said it — we do not confirm it

  • Encryption at Rest — a property of the disk, not of the topology
  • Encryption in Transit — config shows intent, not the negotiated connection

Not answerable here

Named on purpose. Our silence on these is not evidence in either direction

  • Known vulnerabilities — needs an SBOM and a CVE feed
  • Supply chain — provenance lives outside your perimeter
  • Secrets in logs — would require reading log content, which we refuse to do
  • Rate limiting — presence is visible, effectiveness is not
  • Admin access — infrastructure credentials bypass application topology
  • GDPR / SOC 2 / HIPAA / ISO — a verdict belongs to a licensed professional

You don't have to show everything to prove something is true.

ZKAV lets you prove important properties of software and digital systems without revealing what you need to keep private.

Investors

Show investors the technology is real — without sharing your source code.

Due Diligence

Check the technical side of a project before a deal closes.

Security

Confirm properties of a system without exposing its internal details.

Software

Check code, dependencies and licenses.

Runtime

Confirm the version running in production is the version that was verified.

Privacy

Prove a required property without revealing the underlying data.

What a Passport Says

Illustrative example — three outcomes, not one score

Example Technology Passport

Illustrative — not a real system

Sample
runtime.artifact_matchesSupported

the running container matches the attested build

runtime.no_external_egressSupported

no outgoing IP packet left the allowed networks during the capture window

licenses.no_strong_copyleftRefuted

a GPL-licensed dependency was found in the inventory

runtime.data.stays_on_hostUnknown

a shared volume neighbour was not independently observed

A refuted claim is not hidden and does not hide the rest of the passport. An unknown claim is not rounded up to supported. That is the whole point of showing three outcomes instead of one number.
