Security Architecture

Security at Every Layer of the Stack

Security at SynapSync isn't retrofitted as a separate layer — it's implemented at every layer of the technology stack. The attack surface is minimized by avoiding unnecessary dependencies, disabling unused network interfaces, and running all components with least-privilege permissions.

Four Concrete Mechanisms

• Minimal Footprint: The core runtime is a self-contained binary with minimal OS requirements — less software means fewer potential vulnerabilities.
• Least-Privilege Operation: Every component runs with exactly the permissions it needs for its function, nothing more.
• Cryptographic Integrity Verification: Model weights, configuration, and operational data are cryptographically secured — tampering becomes detectable, not just harder.
• Audit Logging: All administrative actions are logged and available for forensic review.

Network Isolation as a Security Measure

Because the network layer is architecturally separated from the core processing system, a network compromise cannot propagate to the Neuronal Core. This separation is one of the few security mechanisms enforced by architecture rather than by configuration — it can't accidentally be set up wrong.
