Professional Transparency & NDAs
To maintain our standing as an independent research laboratory and to avoid conflicts of interest in the rapidly evolving cryptographic landscape, Astarisc does not enter into non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) for initial consultations. We believe that high-assurance security is best served by transparency and the use of verifiable mathematical principles. We request that initial inquiries do not contain proprietary secrets; save specific implementation details for the engagement phase, where we can establish mutual terms of confidentiality tailored to the project’s specific scope.
