Share Infrastructure
Trust administrators and shared systems.
Limited isolation
Risk of data exposure and lateral access.
Secure Research Computing
Secure HPC for CUI, ITAR, and Defense Research
Run sensitive research workloads on shared HPC infrastructure while keeping every project cryptographically isolated.
The Tradeoff
Traditional Secure HPC Forces a Tradeoff
Organizations must choose between convenience or isolation.
Isolate Projects
Duplicate clusters, storage, and administration.
High cost and complexity
Resource duplication and operational overhead.
tiCrypt Removes the Tradeoff
One shared HPC infrastructure. Cryptographic isolation for every project.
One Cluster
Maximize utilization and reduce cost.
Strong Isolation
Cryptographic boundaries protect every project.
Simplified Operations
Centralized infrastructure without sharing trust.
Trust Model
tiCrypt Replaces Trust With Cryptography
Cryptographic isolation replaces operational trust.
Traditional HPC
Trust People + Infrastructure
- Administrators
- Compute nodes
- Shared storage
- Project separation
- Network isolation
tiCrypt
Trust Cryptography
- Researchers control encryption keys
- Data never leaves the secure enclave
- Administrators cannot access research data
- Every project is cryptographically isolated
- Centralized, immutable auditing across all projects
How It Works
From Researcher to Secure Enclave
Researchers securely access HPC, storage, and applications without exposing research data to administrators.
Native SLURM · Shared CPU/GPU
High Performance Computing with SLURM
Secure Shared HPC
Give isolated research environments access to shared CPU/GPU resources (GPU - Q4 2026).
Data Stays Protected
Run jobs without moving sensitive data outside the secure environment.
Native SLURM Integration
Use familiar SLURM scheduling and HPC workflows.
Scale Across Programs
Share compute across secure projects.
Maximize Mission Impact
Deliver secure, on-demand HPC performance at enterprise scale, without exposing research data.
Architecture
One HPC Cluster. Hundreds of Isolated Research Programs.
Every project gets its own
- Encryption keys
- Virtual infrastructure
- Access controls
- Compute environment
While sharing
- SLURM scheduler
- Compute hardware
- Storage infrastructure
- Networking
Projects share compute - not trust.
Compromise or misconfiguration in one project cannot expose another.
Security
Security by Architecture
Scheduler Cannot See Research Data
SLURM handles scheduling - not decryption.
Administrators Cannot Decrypt Files
Researchers retain control of encryption keys.
Endpoints Stay Plaintext-Free
Devices connect without receiving unencrypted research data.
Cryptographic Project Isolation
Each project is isolated by keys, not just policy.
Immutable Audit Trail
Access is logged in tamper-resistant records.
Customer-Controlled Encryption Keys
Your organization controls the keys; tiCrypt cannot access your data.
Compliance
Built Around NIST SP 800-171
74 of 110 controls are implemented and managed by tiCrypt, 11 are jointly managed, and 25 remain organizational controls.
TICRYPT MANAGED
74/110
Implemented and managed directly by tiCrypt.
JOINTLY MANAGED
11/110
Shared between tiCrypt capabilities and customer processes.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROLS
25/110
Owned by customer policy, governance, and procedures.
11 controls are jointly managed between tiCrypt and the customer, while the remaining 25 organizational controls are addressed through customer policies and procedures.
See the full SSP Blueprint for more information on how compliance is simplified with tiCrypt.
Compatibility
Built for Real HPC Workloads
Fully compatible with existing HPC workflows. Researchers, not administrators, control access to research data.
Scheduling

Compute
- CPU workloads
- GPU workloads (Q4 2026)
- Machine learning
- Simulation
Research Environments
