IF YOU NEED IT, WE CAN MAKE IT
AI - CYBERSECURITY - DARKNET - INTELLIGENCE
EXPERIENCE
We have worked with the US IC,
DoW, FVEY partners, Allies, and Interpol to develop, deploy, and
train staff to maintain fully encrypted, near-terabit networks
handling petabytes of data daily on commodity hardware hosted in
customer data centers spanning 31 countries.
SAFER Warfighter (DARPA)
Crafted comms technology to
protect end users from intrusion, interruption, or exposure while
supporting instant messaging, electronic mail, social networking,
streaming video, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), and video
conferencing.
MEMEX (DARPA)
Created next-generation online
search technology and domain-specific search paradigms for more
effective, relevant, and expedient information discovery, extraction,
retrieval, organization, and sharing.
CRISP
(DOE)
Piloted
the Cybersecurity Risk Information Sharing Program to deliver
relevant and actionable cybersecurity information to protect the US
electricity industry and protect the power supply.
US
Army CID
Provided
technical advisory services training investigators to do Deep Packet
Inspection (DPI) on darknet activity pings in the network.
Undercover/Case
Officer Training
Designed
and delivered program for infiltrating, investigating,
and operating
a darknet marketplace. Provided safe access to
the darknet via a
dedicated Raspberry Pi workstation for cost efficiency.
SharkSEER (NSA, DISA)
Developed
and deployed working, real-time analysis of incoming open source or
commercial data streams to instantly judge IP's activity. Used
BSD-licensed appliance running at at 40 Gbps, intercepting at the
point of the 3-way TCP handshake.
Human
Trafficking and Exploitation (Interpol)
Architected
and built system for member countries to share Terabytes of open case
data through a remote gateway, partitioning CSAM from the rest of the
data.
US
Navy CIS
Assisted
investigations into criminal activity within the service via
technical advisory services on dark net markets and cryptocurrency.
The
Tor Project
Developed
an overlay network for enabling anonymous communication via multiple
layers of encrypted routing built on free and open-source software
hosted by volunteers.

SECURE AI
Secure AI is the world’s first and only end-to-end encrypted AI Large Language Model (LLM) inference. It runs public, open weight, read-only LLM models; like Qwen, Mistral, and GPT-OSS. These models run inside a trusted execution environment secured to each user via public key cryptography. We have a prototype available for customer demonstrations as well as operational instances deployed in air-gapped environments.
Secure AI can be built to
spec, tailored to immediate needs, deployed quickly, hosted in your
environment or our secure data center.
From the field to
headquarters, only the user account holds the private key. We store
the encrypted chats and public key in our database.
The user solely
controls the access to the encrypted data with the ability to export
the queries or results as they desire. All data is encrypted and zero
logs are kept or retained about usage. The user can export their
queries but otherwise everything is end-to-end encrypted.
No one can
steal, see, modify, lose, nor sell any of your queries,
conversations, database of users, or other data. It is blind, even to
us.
WHY SECURE AI?
Beyond being the only end-to-end encrypted AI, each instance is built to customer requirements, customized as desired. We can provide rapid deployment at the location, price point, and service model the mission dictates. Customers may buy the box and have us build on site, ship a finished product, have us host customer owned in a secure datacenter, or subscribe to Secure AI hosted on our hardware. We sell GOGO1, GOCO2, or COCO3.
We run everything in a Trusted
Execution Environment (TEE) for encrypted computing to occur outside
the normal operating system. This allows the user queries and data to
be: encrypted at rest with the public key cryptography; encrypted in
transit with the public key cryptography; and encrypted processing
within the CPU itself, outside of the operating system. This setup
provides end-to-end security and
privacy of data exchanged with the AI models. Your data is yours. It
is impossible for us or anyone else to see or use your data.
Your
queries are not used to train our model. We train your specific
instance on the data sources your mission requires, be they OSINT,
private data, or a mix of both.
Redwoods Research fully supports customers wishing to sustain the tools they purchase from us. We offer training to your technical support team and users. While competitors may insist on maintaining their propriety systems, we believe you own what you buy.
Alternatively, we can offer fast, responsive, human support direct from the developer via end-to-end encrypted chat, voice, or teleconference for screensharing. Security comes with constraints; we cannot reset passwords nor rescue lost passphrases (their private key), should the user lose access or forget. On account signup, we use a wizard to walk the user through creating their passphrase/private key and a recovery phrase to regenerate their private key in the future. The wizard requires the user enter 5 random words from the recovery phrase to confirm they have it stored somewhere on their system or person.
