Security architecture. Control, records, verification.
8 control domains and 44 specific controls described for the Mickai Sovereign Intelligence Operating System. The design brings together operator-held keys, hardware attestation, agent controls and the Open Audit Record on customer-controlled infrastructure. Evaluate the supported configuration, egress boundary and audit coverage for your workflows. Signed records support integrity checks; they do not establish correctness, complete event capture or immunity from attack. No third-party certification is claimed here.
What is the Mickai security model?
Mickai's SIOS security design combines customer-controlled infrastructure, operator-held keys, hardware attestation, agent controls and the signed Open Audit Record. An isolated workflow requires local models and supporting services; approved external connectors have a separate boundary. Confirm supported controls and event coverage for the proposed version, then test permissions, egress, failures and recovery. Architectural descriptions are not a security certification or proof of deployment behaviour.
How does Mickai defend against prompt injection and unsafe agent actions?
Sentinel is designed to inspect untrusted inputs and gate destructive actions. MickaiClaw provides per-skill authority controls, with dry-run and human approval mechanisms to assess for high-impact actions. Confirm which controls, including any voice-biometric quorum, are supported and configured. Test malicious context, bypass attempts, revoked authority and unavailable policy services. No detector, firewall or sandbox alone proves that prompt injection or data disclosure is impossible.
Who holds the encryption keys and the audit trail?
The design places key custody and the Open Audit Record with the operator. Request the actual key-management design: signing and encryption keys, hardware protection, administrators, support access, backup, recovery, revocation and any escrow arrangements. Independent audit verification needs the records, a trusted public key and a compatible verifier. Confirm these arrangements in the proposed deployment rather than inferring them from hardware ownership.
What can an independent reader verify in a Mickai audit record?
The browser verifier checks hash linkage and ML-DSA-65 signatures on supplied records. Load the verifier and required key material before testing disconnected verification, and establish trust in the key separately. A successful check supports record integrity and association with a signing key. It does not prove that all events were recorded, that an answer was correct or that an action was appropriate or completed as intended.
Found something? Tell us directly.
Mickai welcomes good-faith security research. Report suspected vulnerabilities to micky@mickai.co.uk with enough detail to reproduce the issue. We acknowledge reports within two working days, keep you informed while we investigate, and credit researchers who wish to be named once a fix ships. Please act in good faith: no data exfiltration, no service disruption, and no disclosure before we have had a reasonable window to remediate. A machine-readable policy is published at /.well-known/security.txt (RFC 9116).
Inspect the controls and the evidence.
Request a briefing scoped to your workflows and the proposed version. Ask to see permitted and denied actions, audit verification, egress tests and recovery, with limitations and outstanding assurance work stated.
