Security Architecture: Security Standards

Swarm’s Security Architecture adheres to rigorous standards to protect network communications, data, and compute resources. The framework integrates advanced encryption, firewalls, and access control mechanisms to ensure a secure and resilient infrastructure.


Security Layers and Standards

  1. Network Security:

    • Encryption:

      • Implements AES-256 encryption for securing all data in transit between nodes and services.

    • Firewall:

      • Utilizes software-defined firewalls to control and filter traffic, protecting against unauthorized access and threats.

    • Access Control:

      • Enforces role-based and attribute-based access controls (RBAC and ABAC) for network resources.

  2. Data Security:

    • At Rest:

      • Encrypts all stored data using AES-256 encryption to prevent unauthorized access to datasets and models.

    • In Transit:

      • Ensures data is protected during transfer using end-to-end encryption protocols such as TLS 1.3.

    • Isolation:

      • Implements logical and physical isolation of tenant data to safeguard privacy and ensure compliance.

  3. Compute Security:

    • Isolation:

      • Leverages hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) such as Intel SGX or AMD SEV to isolate sensitive workloads.

    • Access Control:

      • Restricts compute resource access based on user roles and workload requirements.


Key Features

  • End-to-End Encryption:

    • Protects data at all stages—rest, transit, and compute—with industry-leading encryption standards.

  • Proactive Threat Mitigation:

    • Firewalls and access controls actively monitor and block potential vulnerabilities and threats.

  • Data Isolation:

    • Ensures complete separation of data between users, workloads, and tenants.

  • Dynamic Access Control:

    • Adapts permissions based on real-time risk assessment and workload sensitivity.


Benefits

  • Enhanced Security: Multi-layered protection for network, data, and compute resources prevents unauthorized access and breaches.

  • Compliance: Adheres to global security standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.

  • Reliability: Ensures uninterrupted service delivery by proactively addressing vulnerabilities and securing workloads.

  • User Trust: Strong data protection and access controls reinforce confidence in Swarm’s decentralized AI platform.

Swarm’s Security Standards deliver a robust and comprehensive framework that ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of resources across its decentralized infrastructure.
