Third‑Party Attestation • Verification • Forensic Finality
The New Standard in
AI and Cloud Platforms
SDIP‑6
NiaShield™ confines sensitive AI workloads to volatile‑only enclaves. COI‑AI independently verifies destruction against the SDIP‑6 standard and issues a cryptographic Certificate of Incineration — turning “we deleted it” into auditable, machine‑verifiable compliance.
"Deleted" is not "Destroyed."
Legacy standards were built to wipe hard drives after you wrote to them. In cloud AI, sensitive data should never touch disk in the first place. Ephemeral compute without a destruction standard leaves a forensic trail you can't see, but an attacker can.
Data remanence, snapshot bleed, and multi‑tenant residue make "best effort delete" an unacceptable risk for regulated industries.
SDIP‑6 · Secure Data Incineration Protocol
Six layers. Zero disk writes. The first destruction standard built explicitly for ephemeral, cloud‑native AI compute.
Volatile Entropy
Sensitive memory regions are isolated, pinned, and flooded with cryptographically secure entropy. No ghost values, no cold‑boot artifacts, no "warm RAM" reuse.
Multi‑Pass Overwrite
A deterministic 5‑pass cycle (random → zero → one → random → zero) over volatile memory guarantees there is no recoverable structure or pattern left behind.
Verification + COI
SHA‑256 zero‑check confirms a null state. A signed Certificate of Incineration (COI) is issued by COI‑AI as a third‑party, cryptographic witness.
Two Systems. One Standard. Forensic Finality.
NiaShield™ enforces volatile‑only execution for sensitive AI workloads. COI‑AI acts as an independent witness, verifying destruction against the SDIP‑6 standard and issuing a signed Certificate of Incineration (COI) for your regulators, board, and customers.
NiaShield™
The execution environment. Orchestrates non‑persistent, volatile‑only enclaves for AI workloads, with disk routes disabled at the fabric level. Satisfies SDIP‑6’s core requirement: no sensitive data ever touches media.
The attestation layer. Observes SDIP‑6 execution, performs cryptographic zero‑state checks, and issues tamper‑evident COIs as proof of destruction. Transforms ephemeral compute into a repeatable, auditable control in your compliance program.
Why SDIP‑6 Exists
DoD and NIST tell you how to clean up your mess.
SDIP‑6 says: don't make the mess.
Enterprise Use Cases
Digital finality for sectors where data liability is existential – and "trust us, we deleted it" is no longer acceptable to regulators, boards, or adversaries.
Legal & Discovery
Eliminate "data spoliation" exposure with third‑party certified proof of destruction. Tie every ephemeral AI workspace to a verifiable COI for litigation and privilege protection.
Healthcare (HIPAA)
Ensure PHI residing in AI copilots and cloud inference sessions is forensically unrecoverable before instance teardown. Aligns with HIPAA, HITRUST, and internal data‑retention policies.
Defense & Intelligence
The standard DoD and NIST should have written for cloud. Handle sensitive and compartmented workloads with verifiable ephemeral compute instead of best‑effort deletes on shared infrastructure.
Financial Services
Apply SDIP‑6 to transaction logs, risk models, and PII‑rich workloads once mandatory retention windows close. Shrink breach blast radius and pass audits with signed, machine‑verifiable COIs.
