1. Take a Step Back—Let’s Unpack "The End of Zero Days"
We know that's a bold claim—and it's exactly the future we're building toward. Seeing "The End of Zero Days" on our business card might’ve raised your pulse. Relax—it’s not a promise carved in stone, but a vision we’re chasing. We're leveraging formal verification, radical simplicity, and genuine zero-trust principles to dramatically shrink your attack surface. We’ve made serious strides, and we’re excited to share how we’re getting there. But let’s be real: absolute guarantees in a system this complex aren’t here yet. What we can offer is progress—rigorous, thoughtful, and damn impressive progress. Here’s the story.
2. Our Tech
We’re not slapping bandaids on old systems. Our identity provider and permission engine are designed to rethink security from scratch. How? By leaning into formal methods, simplicity, zero trust, and ease of setup. Let’s break it down.
2.1. QA That Doesn’t Mess Around
Quality assurance isn’t just a checkbox for us—it’s obsessive. We use formal methods to mathematically prove our authentication and authorization logic holds up. Our permission engine compiler, with its hardcore type system (think refinement and dependent types), is verified from the abstract syntax tree to the backends. Empirical testing—like fuzzing or integration tests—can’t cover every corner of a system this intricate, no matter how long you run it. So we do both: formal verification for the core, plus property testing, fuzzing, and model checking to catch edge cases like deadlocks or race conditions. Zero days hide in untested paths—we’re hunting them down with everything we’ve got.
2.2. Simplicity, Redefined
Complexity breeds zero days. We define simplicity as minimizing the number of invariants—those must-hold rules—across our entire system. It’s not just about one piece looking clean; it’s about the whole damn thing staying tight. That takes discipline. If a new feature makes our invariants unwieldy, we scrap code—sometimes a lot of it. Our protocols and user workflows reflect this. Ease of use? That’s in our SDKs with static analysis and clear patterns, not in piling abstractions onto the core system. Simplicity here means security, not shortcuts.
2.3. Genuine Zero Trust
Static secrets are a liability—impossible to fully monitor, devastating when compromised. We ditched them. Instead, our permission engine and auth model run the show, even for the most sensitive management credentials. Our tokens? Single, opaque, and built around One-Time Keys (OTKs). OTKs are simple: they live from encryption to decryption, limiting exposure to one ciphertext. We’ve got two protocols—standard decryption and a “peek” operation for checks—that keep them fast and secure. If a token’s hijacked, our system invalidates it instantly, logs it for analysis, and asks you to re-auth. That’s zero trust: no fluffy promises, just deterministic protection.
2.4. Setup That Doesn’t Screw You
Secure setup shouldn’t be your burden. Unlike some providers (I won't name names—you can ask me directly), who leave critical pieces—like token revocation—up to you, we handle it. No static credentials to wrestle with, no juggling third-party key management systems. Our identity provider bakes in revocation at scale, and our SDKs make OTKs painless with static analysis and frontend workers syncing tokens across tabs. You focus on your app; we secure the foundation.
3. The Catch: We’re Not Perfect (Yet)
Here’s the honest part. We can’t claim "The End of Zero Days" as an absolute truth—yet. Some pieces, like our multi-threaded async runtime and TCP/IP stack, lean on extensive empirical testing, not formal verification. Why? The tech isn’t there. Formally verified runtimes are still academic dreams, and even the best TCP/IP efforts (like SPARK on CycloneTCP) fall short of full guarantees. These gaps are where zero days could lurk. But we’re not sitting still—plans are in motion to build and open-source a verified TCP/IP stack, and we’re watching the state-of-the-art closely.
4. Why This Matters
We’re not here to overhype or overpromise. "The End of Zero Days" is our north star—a relentless push to shrink the attack surface, outpace the bad guys, and redefine what secure identity and permissions can be. We’ve got the tools, the rigor, and the results to back it up. No, we can’t hand you a zero-day-free utopia today. But we’re closer than anyone else, and we’re not stopping. So take a breath, dig into what we’re building, and let’s talk about where this can take you.
5. Working With Us: It's a Two-Way Street
We don’t chase clients—we pick partners. Our tech isn’t for everyone, and we’re cool with that. Want to tick a compliance box or appease an auditor? Plenty of vendors will take your money. But if you’re dead serious about rewriting your security game—if you get that real protection takes real commitment—let’s talk. We only work with orgs who match our obsession. It’s a mutual vetting: you size us up, we size you up. That’s deliberate. The stakes are too high for anything less.
