Pitch Deck – AI-Powered Key Management for Defence Applications
1. Problem
Military systems today face increasing threats from cyber warfare, signal interception, and hardware tampering. Traditional cryptographic systems rely on centralized infrastructure, static keys, or quantum technologies that are impractical for mobile, disconnected, or battlefield platforms like drones, tanks, and fighter jets.
2. Solution
We offer a fully indigenous AI-assisted key generation and distribution node, built on open-source Shakti RISC-V processors. This solution combines hardware-based TRNG, AI-driven entropy validation, tamper-resistant secure elements, and symmetric key handshake protocols that function autonomously in offline and contested environments.
3. Value Proposition
- National control over cryptographic primitives and firmware
- Operational even in GPS-denied, jammed, or disconnected settings
- Adaptive key management without central coordination
- Hardware-backed tamper detection and recovery
- Designed for aerospace, naval, space, and ground platforms
4. Market Opportunity
India’s defence electronics market is projected to exceed ₹2 lakh crore by 2030, with increasing emphasis on indigenous secure communication systems for air, space, land, and maritime operations. Global allies and export channels further expand the TAM.
