1. Silicon PUF Verification

Sovereign terminals utilize Hardware Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF). The microscopic variations in the silicon chip create a unique cryptographic DNA. When the commander authenticates, a Schnorr Zero-Knowledge Proof validates this DNA without exposing the hardware's private vectors, ensuring the terminal hasn't been swapped or cloned.

2. TPM / SGX Key Unsealing

Once DNA is verified, the Vajra Rust Core calls tpm_seal_seed to extract the Sovereign Master Keys from the hardware enclave (Intel SGX or physical TPM). These keys are instantly loaded into volatile memory and are strictly bound to the current session state.

3. Continuous Telemetry Polling

The AutonomousAnalyst SOC patrols the environment every 5 seconds. It ingests system calls, memory access patterns, and cryptographic heartbeat latency. It feeds this telemetry array into a Machine Learning pipeline that scores the current risk vector on a scale of 0 to 100.

4. Ruthless Lockdown Execution

If an adversarial AI or side-channel probe attempts an attack (e.g., threat score reaches CRITICAL > 90), the system bypasses human intervention. The AI SOC triggers trigger_lockdown("AI_SOC_CRITICAL_THREAT_DETECTED"). This instantly zeroes out cryptographic RAM, terminates the vault daemon, and neutralizes the terminal to prevent data extraction.
