Security & Trust

This page covers trust assumptions, cryptographic integrity, and smart sharing guardrails.

Cryptographic Integrity

CORTEX supports cryptographic signing (and optional verification) for stored vectors and metadata to help detect tampering and integrity issues.

Smart Sharing Guardrails

When sharing memory fragments over P2P, CORTEX enforces:

• MIME type validation
• Model URN compatibility checks
• Eligibility filtering (to avoid leaking sensitive or irrelevant data)

See sharing/ for the implementation details of peer exchange and eligibility classification.
