Encryption that fails closed, not open.

Dhruv conceived, designed and built the entire GFAE system independently over 12 months. Starting from a 400-line proof of concept in July 2025, he developed a TRL 5 private MVP comprising 50+ Python modules with a complete post-quantum cryptographic pipeline, GNSS anti-spoofing engine, AI threat ensemble and hardware attestation framework.

The architecture fuses ML-KEM-1024 (FIPS 203) post-quantum key establishment, live GNSS signal context, and TPM 2.0 hardware attestation through HKDF-SHA-512 into AES-256-GCM encryption, governed by a six-gate fail-closed state machine. Full architectural detail is available under NDA.

He filed Patent Application GB2610661.7 in May 2026 as sole inventor, with 12 independent and dependent claims. The relevant university Technology Transfer Office confirmed in writing that 100% of the IP is inventor-owned with no institutional claim. A PCT international filing is planned for October 2026, subject to legal and funding strategy, designating the EPO, USPTO and additional jurisdictions.
