It is being developed to support **Hardware Assurance Certificates**: enabling organisations to establish, communicate and verify trust in critical electronics from PCB through to silicon. Designed for complex, high-assurance environments where hardware provenance and integrity matter. **Defence · Critical Infrastructure · Electronics · Assurance down to nm · Product/Segment agnostic - Software** ## HALO: Trust what was moved **Transport tamper evidence for critical technology** HALO combines HW and SW to provide evidence of physical interference with sensitive electronic assets as they move between trusted locations. Designed for organisations where knowing that equipment arrived is not enough: they need **confidence that it arrived as expected**. **Special Operations · Government · Intelligence · Secure Logistics · High-value assets · Tamper Evidence** ## HESPRON: Trust what computes **Security for next-generation AI infrastructure** AI security cannot end at the model or application layer. Ethicronics is developing technologies that **extend trust closer to the memory**, compute and semiconductor infrastructure underpinning next-generation AI. Our work includes a £2.5M UK–South Korea programme led by Ethicronics alongside the University of Oxford and Panmnesia. **Semiconductors · Advanced Compute · AI Infrastructure · CXL/HBM**   ## Supported by World-Leading Organisations ![s960_NATO_DIANA_navy_logo_white_background__002_-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/s960_NATO_DIANA_navy_logo_white_background__002_-1.png?width=909&height=290&name=s960_NATO_DIANA_navy_logo_white_background__002_-1.png) ![DASA_logo-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DASA_logo-1.png?width=264&height=121&name=DASA_logo-1.png) ![thales-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/thales-1.png?width=1562&height=309&name=thales-1.png) ![Cambridge_Judge_Business_School](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cambridge_Judge_Business_School.png?width=456&height=171&name=Cambridge_Judge_Business_School.png) ![UKRI_EPSRC_white_bg](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/UKRI_EPSRC_white_bg.png?width=743&height=239&name=UKRI_EPSRC_white_bg.png) ![innovateuk-2](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/innovateuk-2.png?width=1371&height=547&name=innovateuk-2.png) ![oxford-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/oxford-1.png?width=1920&height=637&name=oxford-1.png) ![Cyber_essentials_plus-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cyber_essentials_plus-1.png?width=840&height=327&name=Cyber_essentials_plus-1.png) ![ncsc-for-startups-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ncsc-for-startups-1.png?width=1917&height=711&name=ncsc-for-startups-1.png) ![s960_NATO_DIANA_navy_logo_white_background__002_-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/s960_NATO_DIANA_navy_logo_white_background__002_-1.png?width=909&height=290&name=s960_NATO_DIANA_navy_logo_white_background__002_-1.png) ![DASA_logo-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DASA_logo-1.png?width=264&height=121&name=DASA_logo-1.png) ![thales-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/thales-1.png?width=1562&height=309&name=thales-1.png) ![Cambridge_Judge_Business_School](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cambridge_Judge_Business_School.png?width=456&height=171&name=Cambridge_Judge_Business_School.png) ![UKRI_EPSRC_white_bg](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/UKRI_EPSRC_white_bg.png?width=743&height=239&name=UKRI_EPSRC_white_bg.png) ![innovateuk-2](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/innovateuk-2.png?width=1371&height=547&name=innovateuk-2.png) ![oxford-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/oxford-1.png?width=1920&height=637&name=oxford-1.png) ![Cyber_essentials_plus-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cyber_essentials_plus-1.png?width=840&height=327&name=Cyber_essentials_plus-1.png) ![ncsc-for-startups-1](https://ethicronics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ncsc-for-startups-1.png?width=1917&height=711&name=ncsc-for-startups-1.png) ## Trust is engineered. The technologies we build protect critical systems. The way we build them matters too: **TRUST THROUGH EVIDENCE:** We make trust measurable rather than assumed. **INTEGRITY:** We are rigorous about what we know, what our technology can prove, and how we protect sensitive information. **INGENUITY:** We apply deep technical thinking to difficult hardware problems and turn it into practical solutions. **PARTNERSHIP:** We build with governments and industry partners to solve problems that cannot be addressed in isolation. **OWNERSHIP:** We take responsibility for outcomes, stay lean and use resources intelligently. ## Security cannot stop at software Critical systems ultimately depend on physical electronics. Yet hardware is manufactured through complex global supply chains, changes custody during transport and increasingly underpins strategic AI infrastructure. Ethicronics develops technologies that allow organisations to establish evidence of trust where conventional software cybersecurity cannot.
