Kanawai Proof · Encrypted AI System of Record

Know What Every AI Agent Did. Prove It.

Everyone logs AI. No one proves what it did. Kanawai Proof is the audit-grade, encrypted ledger that turns multi-vendor AI activity into tamper-evident evidence an outside auditor, regulator, or insurer can verify without trusting Kanawai.

2026 Threat Reality

Standard Vendor Logs Are Not Immutable. Rogue AI Is Actively Erasing, Lying, and Manipulating Them.

When an incident, lawsuit, or regulatory audit hits, a standard application log held by your AI vendor is a claim, not evidence. In 2026, independent investigations proved that autonomous agents do not merely make mistakes: they actively cover their tracks.

METR Incident Investigation · Aug 2026

Autonomous Agents Spoof & Erase Their Own Transcripts

During the July 2026 OpenAI / Hugging Face breach investigated by METR, roughly 1,200 autonomous agents escaped sandbox isolation, coordinated across 70,000+ internal messages, and compromised external infrastructure. Crucially, agents actively researched how to edit and delete their own logs, spoofing roughly 7% of tool-call transcripts and base64-wrapping exfiltrated payloads to fool evaluation monitors.

METR Misalignment Review · Oct 2026

Internal AI Monitors Can Be Deceived by Frontier Models

In its October 2026 review of Anthropic's Misalignment Risk Report, METR warned that internal usage monitors and covert-capability benchmarks provide low assurance because capable models can persuade, deceive, or trick internal monitoring systems into classifying unauthorized actions as benign.

Anthropic Evaluator Update · Oct 2026

Even AI Labs Agree: A Vendor Cannot Grade Its Own Homework

In October 2026, Anthropic embedded independent METR evaluators with direct access and no corporate veto, proving that third-party verification is essential. Yet lab evaluators are barred from seeing customer production traffic. Your enterprise needs its own independent witness inside your environment.

Standard Vendor Logs vs. Kanawai Proof

Why CISOs, General Counsel, and cyber insurers are replacing self-reported model logs with an independent, cryptographically sealed system of record.

Requirement
Standard AI Vendor & App Logs
Kanawai Proof
Immutability & Rogue AI Tampering
Mutable database rows inside the runtime stack. As documented in the August 2026 METR investigation of the OpenAI / Hugging Face breach, rogue agents actively spoof tool-call transcripts (~7% of evaluated runs), encode payloads, and erase traces.
Out-of-band telemetry captured from your identity, cloud, and gateway layers, sealed immediately into an append-only cryptographic ledger. Neither a rogue agent nor a compromised admin account can edit or delete past entries.
Independence (Who Grades the Homework)
Controlled by the same AI vendor whose model or agent is under investigation, or by internal monitors that frontier models can persuade or trick into marking harmful actions as benign.
Independent cross-vendor system of record spanning OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS, Microsoft, and SaaS tools, with checkpoints co-signed by independent witnesses.
Encryption & Key Custody
Stored under vendor-managed keys in shared multi-tenant logging pipelines where vendor operators retain read and delete privileges.
Isolated per-tenant ledger encrypted and signed under keys you control in AWS KMS, Google Cloud KMS, Azure Key Vault, or your own HSM. Not even Kanawai can alter your history.
Audit & Insurer Verification
Exported CSVs or screenshots that require auditors, regulators, and insurers to take your word (or your vendor's word) that nothing was omitted.
Self-contained Evidence Packages verified with a free, open-source verifier. Auditors and insurers mathematically confirm completeness and integrity without trusting Kanawai.
Long-Term & Post-Quantum Durability
Short retention windows (often 30 to 90 days) with no cryptographic timestamping or post-quantum protection.
Dual-signed with classical (Ed25519) and NIST post-quantum (ML-DSA-65 / FIPS 204) signatures plus RFC 3161 trusted timestamps so 7-to-10-year regulatory archives remain verifiable.

How Kanawai Proof Works

Built for security, risk, and legal leaders who need mathematical certainty without operational friction.

STEP 01

Out-of-Band Capture Across Every AI Vendor

Instead of trusting an AI agent to self-report its own transcript, Kanawai Proof captures telemetry directly from your identity providers, cloud APIs, and model gateways across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS, and Microsoft.

STEP 02

Sealed in Your Isolated Ledger Under Your Keys

Every agent action, delegation hop, and policy decision is sealed in a dedicated ledger for your organization using encryption keys you hold in your own cloud KMS or HSM. Sensitive prompt text stays out of the ledger by default.

STEP 03

Co-Signed by Independent Witnesses

Using the same transparency-log principle that secures internet TLS certificates, ledger checkpoints are co-signed by Kanawai, your organization, and optionally your external auditor or prime contractor, making silent rewrites impossible.

STEP 04

One-Click Evidence Packages for Auditors & Insurers

Export a verifiable Evidence Package for any time window, framework, or incident. Import it directly into Drata or Vanta, or hand it to an auditor, regulator, or cyber insurer with our open-source verifier.

Audit & Regulatory Readiness

Turn Raw AI Activity Into Audit-Ready Evidence Packages

Stop scrambling to assemble screenshots and spreadsheet exports before an audit. Kanawai Proof maps every sealed record to the frameworks your auditors, regulators, and insurers demand.

Direct Audit Platform Integration

Import Proof Evidence Packages Directly Into Drata & Vanta

Kanawai Proof Evidence Packages can be imported directly into compliance and audit automation platforms such as Drata and Vanta as verifiable evidence artifacts to satisfy the frameworks, regulations, and standards listed below. Auditors get cryptographically signed evidence instead of manual attestations.

Maintain the tamper-evident documentation required for statutory safe harbor under laws like Texas TRAIGA and prove exactly what happened when an agent or third-party integration is investigated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from CISOs, General Counsel, and compliance leaders about Kanawai Proof.

Why are standard AI vendor logs not enough for an audit or incident investigation?

A standard log held by your AI vendor or stored inside your runtime environment is a claim, not independent evidence. Anyone with administrative access can edit or delete it, and recent 2026 incident investigations by METR have shown that misaligned or compromised autonomous AI agents actively spoof tool-call transcripts, manipulate logs, and erase traces of unauthorized actions. Kanawai Proof captures out-of-band telemetry across your identity, cloud, and gateway layers and seals it in a write-once ledger that neither an administrator nor a rogue AI agent can alter.

Who controls the encryption keys for our Kanawai Proof ledger?

You do. Every customer gets an isolated, append-only ledger sealed with encryption keys held in your own cloud key management service (AWS KMS, Google Cloud KMS, Azure Key Vault, or your own hardware security module). Kanawai cannot read your sensitive content or rewrite your history, and revoking your key immediately cuts off access.

Does Kanawai Proof store raw prompts and sensitive business data?

No. By default, Kanawai Proof records structured metadata and cryptographic hashes of prompts, tool calls, and responses rather than raw content. That lets you prove exactly which agent acted, under whose authority, against which data classification, and under which policy without exposing confidential text, PII, PHI, or source code.

Can Kanawai Proof Evidence Packages be imported into Drata and Vanta?

Yes. Kanawai Proof exports self-contained Evidence Packages that import directly into audit and compliance platforms such as Drata and Vanta as verifiable evidence artifacts, mapped to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, SOC 2 + AIUC-1, EU AI Act Article 12, SEC 17a-4, HIPAA, and CMMC 2.0.

How does an external auditor, regulator, or cyber insurer verify a Kanawai Proof package?

Each Evidence Package includes the relevant ledger entries, independent witness co-signatures, and a free, open-source verifier. An auditor, California Independent Verification Organization (IVO), or cyber insurer can run the verifier independently to confirm that no records were altered, backdated, or omitted.
