Creo Verification Nodes

Product Overview

Creo Validators

Ensuring Zero-Trust Inferencing in Enterprise AI

Creo Validators represent a critical class of nodes within the Creo network, playing a vital role in securing and maintaining the integrity of inferencing transactions. They are designed to operate within a Zero-Trust Architecture, where no implicit trust is granted to any entity, whether internal or external to the network. Every interaction with the GPU nodes involved in inferencing undergoes rigorous authentication and authorization procedures.

• Zero-Trust Model: Each model inference request is treated as originating from an untrusted source. Validators meticulously verify the identity of the requesting entity and the integrity of the request to prevent malicious actors from performing unauthorized inferencing using valuable GPU resources.

• Robust Authentication: Validators employ cryptographic techniques to authenticate users and AI agents seeking to utilize inferencing services, ensuring that only authorized entities gain access to sensitive models. Strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication and digital signatures, are implemented to prevent identity spoofing and unauthorized access.

• Fine-Grained Authorization: Upon successful authentication, Validators enforce granular access control policies that dictate which models a given user or AI agent can access and for what specific purpose. This minimizes the attack surface in the event of a security breach by restricting access to only the resources required for authorized tasks. Access control policies can be defined based on user roles, agent types, and specific model functionalities.

• Data Privacy and Compliance: The Zero-Trust model ensures that data processed during inferencing remains private and secure, even within the decentralized network. Robust encryption, stringent access controls, and secure communication protocols are employed to safeguard data privacy. All data, both in transit and at rest, is encrypted, and decrypted data is revealed only to explicitly whitelisted, authorized parties. Validators also ensure that data processing adheres to relevant privacy regulations, such as GDPR and CCPA.

This rigorous approach to security is essential for fostering trust in the Creo platform and ensuring the protection of sensitive data handled by AI agents. It ensures that data privacy is maintained throughout the entire AI lifecycle, from model hosting to inferencing and beyond.

Versatile Validator Client

To maximize accessibility and participation, the validator software is designed to support a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and even Android devices. The inclusion of mobile devices is strategically important, as the computational demands for validation are relatively modest, enabling broad participation without requiring high-performance hardware.

Participation as a validator requires the installation of a dedicated application on the user's device, which must remain online to perform continuous, end-to-end validation of transactions across the network.

Incentivized Validator Network

Validators are incentivized for their critical role in maintaining network security and integrity. They can monitor their activities, track rewards, and access other relevant information through a dedicated validator dashboard accessible on the Creo website. This dashboard provides detailed insights into validated transactions and corresponding rewards, fostering transparency and encouraging active participation in network governance.
