Does InferTrust™ Work Offline?

Learn how InferTrust™ maintains full cryptographic decision integrity in disconnected, edge, and low-connectivity environments.

Does InferTrust™ Work Offline?

Yes. InferTrust™ (Patent Pending) is designed to maintain full cryptographic decision integrity in offline, edge,and low-connectivity environments. Offline operation is a core architectural capability, not a degraded mode.

How Offline Mode Works

InferTrust™ stores signing keys in hardware-backed secure storage on the local device, such as a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or secure enclave. When the AI model produces a decision without network connectivity, InferTrust™ generates the cryptographic signature locally using the same algorithms and standards as connected operation.

• Local signing: cryptographic signatures are generated on-device without network dependency
• Local timestamps: hardware clock references and monotonic counters establish decision ordering
• Append-only local storage: hash-chained records prevent modification or deletion of offline decisions
• Pre-provisioned key rotation: signing keys rotate on schedule without requiring network access

Synchronization

When connectivity is restored, InferTrust™ securely synchronizes offline records with the central platform. The synchronization process verifies the local hash chain integrity, reconciles local timestamps with authoritative time sources,and integrates offline records into the unified audit trail. The reconciliation itself is signed, maintaining an unbroken chain of cryptographic proof from offline operation through reconnection.
