GUAW Kernel (Sovereign Authority Layer)

The GUAW Kernel is the high-privilege bridge between your Node.js application and the Sovereign Authority Core (SAC). It acts as the "Layer 2" of the GUAW sovereignty model, transforming raw sensor data into cryptographically signed verdicts.

🛡️ Core Responsibilities

1. Protocol Bridging: Safe communication with the native sac-core (Rust).
2. Authority Bootstrapping: Establishing the physical root of trust (Silicon Jitter).
3. ZK-Proof Generation: Wrapping verification results in non-interactive Zero-Knowledge proofs.
4. Environment Hardening: Detecting virtualization (Windows/KVM/Docker) and enforcing the "Sovereign Mode".

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

npm install @guaw/kernel

Note: Requires local SAC-Core binary in the project root.

Initializing the Authority

import { SovereignKernel } from "@guaw/kernel";

async function setup() {
  try {
    console.log("🛡️ Initializing Sovereign Authority...");
    const status = await SovereignKernel.boot();

    if (status.mode === "SOVEREIGN") {
      console.log("✅ Physical Integrity Secured.");
    } else {
      console.log("⚠️ Running in DEGRADED mode (Limited Security).");
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("❌ Authority Boot Failed:", err);
  }
}

⚙️ Operational Modes

| Mode | Environment | Security Level | | ------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------ | | SOVEREIGN | Bare-Metal / Optimized VPS | Maximum (Hardware-Bound) | | NATIVE | Local OS (No Hypervisor) | High | | DEGRADED | Full VM / Cloud Container | Standard (Logic Only) |

🧩 Integration with Bio-Defense

The Kernel consumes traces collected by @guaw/bio-defense and issues a final Sovereign Verdict.

const trace = getTraceFromClient();
const result = await SovereignKernel.judge(trace);

// Example Logic
if (result.verdict === "HUMAN" && result.confidence > 0.9) {
  // Process high-value transaction
}
