compile-time certification

The software is either certified or it does not compile.

Aether enforces safety, security, and reliability as structural invariants before a single byte of machine code is generated. A program that violates a declared property cannot be compiled. There is no runtime check. There is no advisory warning. The violation is architecturally impossible.

aether v7.3 — GENXR_V7.3 / STRICT_MODE
the problem

Three vectors. One compiler. Zero runtime.

In contested environments, adversaries exploit three software attack vectors. Aether eliminates all three structurally — before the binary exists.

01
attack vector
Binary tampering after certification
An adversary modifies firmware after it leaves the build environment. Existing toolchains have no mechanism to detect post-compilation modification at deployment.
→ Aether: cryptographic attestation token covers the complete manifest chain. Any modification invalidates the token. Detected before execution.
02
attack vector
Operator impersonation and privilege escalation
Captured or compromised hardware is operated by personnel without the required clearance. No existing compiler binds operator identity to the binary itself.
→ Aether: CCBP embeds a PKI challenge at compile time. Operator clearance below data classification is rejected. Cannot be bypassed at runtime.
03
attack vector
Information leakage across classification boundaries
Classified sensor data flows to unclassified telemetry channels. Timing side-channels leak cryptographic keys. No existing compiler enforces information flow at the type level.
→ Aether: Bell-LaPadula + Biba enforced at variable binding level. Classified data cannot flow to under-classified destinations. Constant-time execution enforced structurally.
what aether produces

39 certification manifests.One compilation.Sub-millisecond.

Every Aether binary carries machine-verifiable certification manifest blocks, each independently verifiable by the open BPC verifier — without the compiler or source code.
