What this is
Conduit is a network of trusted people, joined by a shared technology, that helps people in dangerous places report harm and get help. This prototype shows how the parts work together. Choose a role below to walk through the user flow.
I have something to report
Submit an anonymous report or check on an existing case. No name, no phone, no email.
I am a Hero (demo)
Pick a function team and act as a vetted responder. Triage, document, route, reply.
See the consortium
The federation of organizations that vouches for our Heroes and governs the network.
See the audit ledger
Every privileged operation, logged by token — never by name. Transparency by design.
What to try first
- Open two browser windows or two tabs.
- In window 1: click Reporter, create a new identity, and submit a short report.
- In window 2: click Hero (demo), pick a Triage Hero, see the case appear in the queue.
- Triage Hero routes it to Legal.
- Switch the Hero role to Legal; see the case appear there. The original Triage queue no longer shows it.
- Switch to Documentation; the case is sealed — cryptography prevents you from reading it.
- Legal Hero sends a response message back to the reporter.
- In window 1 (the reporter): refresh the case page. The response is there, decrypted with the reporter's key.
- Open the audit ledger. Every step is logged by token, never by name.
What the prototype demonstrates that matters
- Anonymity by construction. Reporters never identify themselves.
- Compartmentation enforced by cryptography. Each function team holds its own private key. A team that wasn't routed a case cannot decrypt it — even if they could see the database.
- Token-only addressing. Heroes are addressed by tokens. Reporters never learn Hero names. The ledger never records names.
- End-to-end real cryptography. X25519 ECDH + AES-256-GCM. The protections are not theatrical.
- Federated vetting. Eight founding consortium organizations across journalism, legal, medical, faith, veterans, academic, and regional categories — no single one can poison the network.
What this prototype is not
Not production code. Not Tor-style onion-routed. Not federated infrastructure. Not for real users. Real Conduit is being built by Wide Point Corporation (NYSE: WYY) under independent crypto audit (Trail of Bits / NCC Group + academic group), deployed across mini-HQ infrastructure in Switzerland, Iceland, and the United States, with mesh and sneakernet fallbacks for blackout zones.
The complete production documentation suite (~30 documents) lives at ~/Documents/conduit/.
This prototype simulates what those documents describe; it is not the production system.
