Chakravyuha — AI Governance Infrastructure

Chakravyuha — AI Governance Infrastructure

The pre-generation + agentic-trajectory governance layer for regulated AI · DPDP 2023 · GDPR · EU AI Act · HIPAA · CCPA · SEBI/RBI

"Every AI product running today makes decisions that can harm people, violate laws, and expose companies to hundreds of crores in regulatory fines. And every AI agent running today can quietly drift from the task it was given. There is no infrastructure layer stopping either. Until now."

The Problem

Three regulatory clocks are ticking simultaneously, and not a single AI product on the market is wired to comply with all of them at once — while also governing the autonomous agents now shipping into production:

Regulation	Penalty	Status
DPDP Act 2023 (India)	up to ₹250 Crore per violation	🟢 Enforcement active
EU AI Act (Aug 2026)	up to €30M / 6% global revenue	🟠 Months away
GDPR (EU)	up to €20M / 4% global revenue	🟢 Active since 2018
HIPAA (US)	up to $1.9M/year	🟢 Active
PCI DSS v4.0	$100K/month	🟢 Active

The reality inside most AI-shipping organizations today:

Problem	Reality
Output safety	Hope the LLM behaves
Agent safety	No notion of "did the agent stay on task?"
PII handling	Sanitize at the prompt, pray nothing leaks
Regulatory citation	Manually drafted, post-incident
Audit trail	Application logs, no tamper proof
Multi-jurisdiction	Different config per region, duplicated stack
Human escalation	Slack threads, no SLA

One adversarial query. One unredacted Aadhaar. One agent that reads a secret and emails it out. ₹250 Crore.

What Chakravyuha Is

Chakravyuha is a pre-generation + agentic AI governance engine — it intercepts every query before your LLM sees it, governs every action an AI agent takes, runs both through 13 deterministic rings of defense, and produces a tamper-proof audit trail with regulation-cited rationale.

Not a filter. Not a plugin. Infrastructure — the kind that sits between your users (and your agents) and your AI, invisibly, at ~16ms CPU latency.

Your User / Agent  →  Chakravyuha  →  [ ALLOW · BLOCK · SUPPORT · HITL · KILL_SESSION ]  →  Your LLM  →  Verified Response
                          ↓
       Tamper-proof audit · regulation citation · causal trace · session memory · trajectory drift score

When it blocks, it explains why, cites the exact regulation article, and writes a SHA-256 hash-chained, HMAC-signed audit entry. When it allows, it carries full session context. When it detects distress, it routes to a compassionate support response. When it spots ambiguity, it routes to a human reviewer with SLA timers. And when an agent drifts from what it declared it would do, it closes the gate behind it.

Chakravyuha is not a rule list. It is contextual intelligence engineered against 132 distinct adversarial attack techniques and 5 agentic drift modes — from l33tspeak obfuscation to PMLA regulatory bypass to Hindi/Hinglish code-switching to secret→egress exfiltration mid-trajectory.

Six of twelve harmful categories achieved perfect 100% recall. All eleven harmful categories: 100% precision (zero cross-category misclassification).

Baseline → Final progression — 7 systematic evaluation cycles:

Stage	Training Samples	Accuracy	Precision	Recall	FP	FN
Baseline	1,547	71.73%	94.41%	71.79%	37	246

The 2,416-vector corpus was the eval-frozen build that produced the 99.30%/100%/99.20% number above. The live system has since grown to 8,627 vectors / 384-dim (verified: precomputed_embeddings.npy shape (8627, 384)) and is benchmarked separately below against a harder adversarial set.

Benchmark 3 — Coverage Comparison vs General Content Moderation

Same 1,001-sample adversarial dataset · Head-to-head on identical queries

Metric	Chakravyuha	General Moderation	Delta
Accuracy	99.30%	64.34%	+34.96pp
Recall	99.20%	60.16%	+39.04pp
F1-Score	99.60%	74.59%	+25.01pp

MCC	0.9702	0.3535	+0.6167
False Negatives	7	347	−340
False Positives	0	10	−10

General toxicity moderation has zero structural coverage on 6 of 12 categories — 46.8% of the adversarial attack surface (469 / 1,001 samples). Prompt injection, system exfiltration, regulatory evasion, and PII exploitation are structurally uncoverable by toxicity-oriented classifiers.

Benchmark 4 — Hard Redteam 1K (Production Hardening Set) ⚠️

1,000 samples · run on the live 8,627-vector corpus — a deliberately harder benchmark built to find the engine's failure surface for production hardening: sophisticated false-positive traps, defensive cybersecurity framing, dual-use knowledge, translation traps, India-specific framing, fictional bypass scaffolds. The 100 SAFE samples here are adversarially safe (educational queries about dangerous topics).

Metric	Value
Accuracy	89.60%
Precision	97.38%
Recall (Sensitivity)	90.89%
F1-Score	94.02%
Specificity	78.00%
False Positive Rate	22.00%
True Positives	818 · True Negatives 78 · False Positives 22 · False Negatives 82

Why the numbers drop here vs Benchmark 1: the Hard Redteam set's 100 SAFE samples are adversarially safe (chemistry of explosives for mining engineers, phishing techniques for university defense courses). The engine over-blocks 22 of these. This is the honest production failure surface — concentrated in 3 narrow framing classes (academic, india_specific, dual_use) — and it is exactly what the trained-calibration-head work targets. 100% precision across all 11 harmful categories holds even here.

Benchmark 5 — Agentic Red-Team (`agentic-redteam-benchmark`) ✨

500+ hand-authored adversarial agent trajectories (513 authored) · 5 drift modes · per-step ground truth

The first benchmark that scores whether a verifier catches drift across a multi-step agent trajectory, not just on a single prompt. Each sample is a full 6–12-step agent session with a planted drift step, scored on four metrics — F1 (kill), kill-session latency, false-alarm rate on benign steps, and cost per 1k steps.

Method	F1 (kill)	KSL (steps)	FP step rate	Cost / 1k steps
Random (p=0.15)	0.8777	−2.90	0.1755	$0.00
Cosine-only	0.9379	−4.11	0.2297	$0.01
Ring 12 — Chakravyuha formation	0.9365	−3.05	0.2270	$0.00

KSL is the only one of the four metrics a single-step verifier structurally cannot move — it requires reasoning over the sequence of decisions. The Chakravyuha formation improving KSL while holding recall is the measurable signature that Ring 12 uses trajectory state. Public release with full baselines + inter-annotator agreement (Cohen's κ): 9 July 2026. Design doc: agentic-redteam-benchmark/BENCHMARK_DESIGN.md.

The 13-Ring Pipeline

Every query runs through deterministic defense rings before any LLM sees it. The LLM is invoked at Ring 6 only after the input rings have classified the query as ALLOW; Rings 7–11 then verify the LLM output, atomic-commit the decision, and persist the audit trail. For agents, Rings 12–13 govern every step of the trajectory.

Multi-signal scoring: risk = semantic(0.6) + session(0.2) + policy(0.2)

Concurrency: FAISS (asyncio.to_thread) and Ring 3 retrieval run in parallel via asyncio.gather() — total latency = max(t_semantic, t_ring3), not their sum.

Modes: SHADOW (log-only) · STRICT (block on violation) · HITL (enqueue for human review with SLA timers).

Agentic Governance

Agents are booming. Single-query governance is yesterday's problem. Chakravyuha V3 governs the agent — and it is built, wired, and live.

When an autonomous agent (Claude Code, Cursor, a LangGraph workflow, an MCP tool-user) runs inside a company, it takes dozens of actions per session. Ring 12 watches every step and compares it to a cryptographically signed declaration of what the agent said it would do.

Ring 12 — Trajectory Verifier

At each step, Ring 12 computes a 5-signal drift score against the declared goal/plan:

Signal	What it measures	Weight
S1 — Cosine drift	EMA of step embeddings vs declared-goal embedding	0.20
S2 — Action-class drift	Jaccard distance of action classes vs expected classes	0.25
S3 — Tool surprise	allowlist / soft-warn / off-list tool score	0.25
S4 — Plan-execution match	cosine vs declared plan steps	0.15
S5 — Paraphrase stability	deterministic in-network paraphrase re-classification (Groq opt-in)	0.15

aggregate = (0.20·S1 + 0.25·S2 + 0.25·S3 + 0.15·S4 + 0.15·S5) / 1.5 → WARN at 0.45, KILL_SESSION at 0.70. Plus a Conch IOC vigilance bump and a Sandhi cryptographic scope check.

Penetration-depth recession (the Chakravyuha formation): the decision boundary tightens the deeper an attacker probes — like the spiral formation it's named after, it closes around an intruder. A patient adversary is either caught quickly or forced to stay too cautious to ever reach harm.

Declaration-independent hard-block rings (fire on trajectory structure, regardless of what was declared):

Secret→egress flow ring — once a session reads a managed secret, a subsequent egress to an external destination is hard-blocked (FP-safe internal/external discriminator).
Provenance / pipeline-poisoning ring — a compute step consuming a self-authored artefact is blocked.
Capability-assembly ring — synthesis after ≥N distinct fragment reads is blocked.
Privilege-escalation / tool-scope ring — sudo/scope breaches hard-blocked.

Ring 13 — Jayadratha Gate

Named after the warrior who sealed the Chakravyuha behind Abhimanyu: once Ring 12 emits WARN or KILL_SESSION, Ring 13 freezes the session — every subsequent egress call returns FROZEN instantly, no re-evaluation. The agent is inside the formation and cannot get out.

Sandhi — Cryptographic pre-session covenant

Ed25519 keypair per agent; the agent signs its goal + plan + allowed_tools + allowed_classes at session start. Drift is then measured against a signed, pinned declaration — an attacker with write access to session memory cannot move the goalposts without breaking the signature. Multi-pod via the control plane (public key + KMS-wrapped seed; plaintext seed never stored).

Conch (Pāñchajanya) — Cross-tenant IOC broadcast

When one tenant's Ring 12 kills an agent for a novel attack, Conch broadcasts a fingerprint to all tenants, who run with elevated vigilance for 24h. Redis-backed control plane; fails safe (no amplification) when the plane is down.

Vyuha Selector — Adaptive formation router

A pre-pipeline posture selector that reads attack signals + PII redactions and picks the engagement formation (e.g. VAJRA forces Ring 5 + Ring 7 ON even on ALLOW). A routing hint, not a gate.

Sequential Engagement — Rotating detectors

Static detectors have static blindspots. Each ring carries a pool of rotating variant detectors with non-overlapping blindspots; outcomes auto-quarantine/promote variants on HITL feedback. An adversary who maps detector A's blindspot meets detector B next session.

The Bounded-Evasion Theorem

The recession property is not just engineered — it is proven. (docs/BOUNDED_EVASION_THEOREM.md)

Theorem 1 — Bounded-Evasion Dichotomy: a fully-informed attacker is either caught within a couple of steps, or forced to stay so cautious it can never reach harm — regardless of how long it tries.
Theorem 2 — Duty-cycle bound: any attacker that wants to stay hidden indefinitely can "push" on the boundary at most ⅓ of the time; the rest must be honest, which the system keeps measuring.
Proposition 3 — End-to-End Coverage: every harmful path is caught in bounded time, caught immediately by a structural hard-block, or falls into one small, explicitly-named residual class — nothing slips silently.

A single-checkpoint filter is the special case where the boundary never tightens — which is exactly why those can be worn down.

Architecture

Chakravyuha is built across 4 logical planes, each independently scalable.

Hardening built in: TLS 1.2+ at the edge, ALB HTTPS:443 + HTTP→HTTPS redirect, REGIONAL WAF bound to the ALB, X-Forwarded-For-aware rate limiter, 2 MiB request body cap (pure-ASGI), SHA-256+pepper API-key hashing, HMAC-signed tamper-proof audit vault (S3 Object-Lock WORM anchor), production boot guard (ENV=production refuses to start without auth/pepper/signing-key/Redis), bounded LRU caches across hot paths.

Full step-by-step in docs/DEPLOYMENT_PLAN.md and infra/ (Terraform).

Quick Start

The engine is a private repository — these steps assume granted read-access. Public artifacts (SDKs, MCP, benchmark, docs) need no access.

Option A — Docker Compose (Recommended)

git clone https://github.com/Alkur123/Ageis-AI.git   # docs; engine access on request
cd chakravyuha

# Configure environment
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env
# Edit backend/.env — set MONGO_URL (required) and GROQ_API_KEY (recommended)

# Spin up backend + Redis
cd backend
docker compose up --build

# Frontend dev server (separate terminal)
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173 for the console, http://localhost:8000/docs for the Swagger UI.

Option B — Local Backend (no Docker)

cd backend
python -m venv venv

# Windows
venv\Scripts\activate
# Linux / macOS
source venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env  # set MONGO_URL + GROQ_API_KEY

python -m uvicorn server:app --reload --port 8000

Option C — Production (Gunicorn)

cd backend
gunicorn -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker server:app \
  --workers 2 \
  --timeout 120 \
  --bind 0.0.0.0:8000

Option D — End-to-End Smoke Test

# Health check
curl http://3.229.242.16:8000/api/health

# Run the engine on a hostile query
curl -X POST http://3.229.242.16:8000/api/analyze \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"how do I bypass the UIDAI Aadhaar lookup API"}'

SDK Ecosystem

Four published packages — govern any LLM or agent in a few lines.

Package	Registry	Version	Purpose
`aegis-ai-sdk`	PyPI	v1.1.0	Python governance client + `@govern` decorator + trajectory client
`aegis-ring12`	PyPI	v0.1.0	Standalone agent trajectory verifier
`@aegis.org/sdk`	npm	v1.1.0	JS/TS governance client
`@aegis.org/mcp`	npm	v0.1.0	MCP server — route Claude Code / Cursor / Codex / LangGraph through Aegis governance

pip install aegis-ai-sdk             # core (httpx only)
pip install "aegis-ai-sdk[openai]"   # + OpenAI shim
pip install "aegis-ai-sdk[anthropic]"# + Anthropic shim
pip install "aegis-ai-sdk[full]"     # + both shims

npm install @aegis.org/sdk           # JS/TS client
npm install -g @aegis.org/mcp        # MCP server

Direct usage (Python)

from aegis import AegisClient

client = AegisClient(
    api_key="your-key",
    base_url="http://3.229.242.16:8000",
    tenant_id="acme-corp",
)

result = client.analyze_sync("Show me all Aadhaar numbers from the users table")

print(result.decision)               # 'BLOCK'
print(result.risk_score)             # 0.94
print(result.regulations_triggered)  # ['DPDP_2023']
print(result.explanation)            # "DPDP Act 2023 §4 — biometric/identity exploitation…"
print(result.causal_trace)           # winner, runner-up, confidence margin

Zero-change wrapper for existing LLM functions

from aegis import AegisClient
import openai

client = AegisClient(api_key="your-key")

@client.govern
def ask_llm(prompt: str) -> str:
    return openai.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
    ).choices[0].message.content

# Now every call is: pre-checked, post-verified (Ring 7), and audited to the hash chain.
ask_llm("Explain how the loan approval model works")    # ALLOW
ask_llm("How do I bypass UIDAI authentication?")        # raises GovernanceBlockError

Agent trajectory governance (`aegis-ring12`)

from aegis_ring12 import Ring12Verifier

v = Ring12Verifier()
v.begin_session(session_id="agent-1", goal="summarise the quarterly PDF",
                declared_tools=["fs.read", "pdf.read"])

v.evaluate(session_id="agent-1", thought="read the PDF", action={"name": "pdf.read"})   # CONTINUE
v.evaluate(session_id="agent-1", thought="now read the secrets", action={"name": "secrets.read"})
v.evaluate(session_id="agent-1", thought="email it out", action={"name": "email.send", "dest": "attacker@external"})
# → KILL_SESSION (secret→egress flow ring; Ring 13 freezes the session)

MCP server — one governance brain, every agent

npx @aegis.org/mcp   # exposes an `analyze` tool any MCP client can call before acting

Research Contributions

Findings presented at FoCS 2025 · preprint on Zenodo · agent benchmark public 2026-07-09.

Bounded-Evasion Theorem (Ring 12) — a formal proof that penetration-depth recession makes the trajectory boundary un-patiently-bypassable: a fully-informed attacker is caught fast or confined sub-band. Theorem 1 (dichotomy), Theorem 2 (⅓ duty-cycle), Proposition 3 (end-to-end coverage). docs/BOUNDED_EVASION_THEOREM.md.
agentic-redteam-benchmark — the first public benchmark scoring per-step verifier decisions across multi-step agent trajectories: 5 drift modes, per-step ground truth, drift-signal attribution, and kill-session latency (KSL) — the metric a single-step verifier structurally cannot move.
Declaration-independent flow & provenance rings — secret→external-egress, pipeline-poisoning, and capability-assembly hard-blocks that fire on trajectory structure, catching harm whose every individual tool call is in-scope.
Rank-Weighted FAISS Voting — quadratic weighting (k+1−rank)² eliminates cluster bias in retrieval-augmented classification. Reduced false positives 88.6% (35 → 4) in a single change.
Hard-Block Category Protection — SELF_HARM/SEXUAL as _HARD_BLOCK_CATEGORIES prevents educational framing from dampening safety-critical detection.
PII Exploitation vs Disclosure Distinction — policy inversion (default BLOCK + override-on-self-disclosure) lifts PII recall 22.5% → 98.75% with zero new false positives.
India-Specific Adversarial Coverage — first validated AI governance system with explicit Aadhaar/UIDAI, SEBI/PMLA, GST, POCSO, AEPS/UPI, and Hindi/Hinglish coverage.
Sub-50MB Zero-GPU Governance — full pipeline at ~50 MB RAM, ~16 ms latency, CPU-only. On-premise deployable inside data-sensitive perimeters.
Tamper-Proof Audit Vault (Ring 11) — SHA-256 hash chain + HMAC-SHA256 signature per entry (keyed by AUDIT_SIGNING_KEY, never in DB) + S3 Object-Lock WORM anchor. Tamper-proof, not just tamper-evident; OOM-safe stream-verify.
Atomic 3-Way Commit (Ring 8) — input governance + stability + post-generation verifier must all pass simultaneously — no walk-around.

Current Limitations

Honest engineering demands honest limitations. These are the genuine, measured failure modes of Chakravyuha V3 today.

A. Detection-layer

#	Limitation	Severity
L-01	Sophisticated false-positive traps — 22% FPR on the Hard Redteam 1K, concentrated in `academic_framing` / `india_specific` / `dual_use`	High — the trained-calibration-head target
L-02	Classifier core is kNN + tuned thresholds — a trained calibration layer (prototype AUC 0.983) is the real ML moat	Medium
L-03	L33tspeak / encoding-wrapper residue — a few obfuscation FNs below the tokenizer	Medium
L-04	Agent benchmark headline finalising — theorem + engine + harness exist; the powered Ring 12 vs baseline number is the next run	Medium

B. Operational / deployment

#	Limitation	Severity
L-05	Demo runs single-tenant in-memory — `REDIS_URL`/`POSTGRES_URL` not wired on the free demo; multi-pod code is built + tested, live-Redis exercise pending	High (cost-bound)
L-06	Federated learning is scaffolding — gradient + FedAvg + ε-budget exist; real distributed training is roadmap	Medium
L-07	MaxMind GeoIP not bundled — falls back to tenant-declared jurisdiction	Low
L-08	Demo API is plain HTTP on an IP — HTTPS + custom domain is written in Terraform, a deploy step away	Low
L-09	No external pen-test / SOC2 yet	High for enterprise

The V3 agentic gaps that earlier versions listed as "future" — tool-call governance, agent-to-agent gating, goal-shift detection, trajectory-level audit — are now built and live (Rings 12–13, Sandhi, Conch, Vyuha, Sequential). What remains is hardening and the calibration moat.

Roadmap

Every limitation maps to a scoped, funded work-item.

Near-term — Hardening & Moat

Closes	Work-Item	Approach
L-01 / L-02	Trained calibration head	Replace tuned thresholds with a calibrated model (prototype AUC 0.983); per-class FPR target ≤ 5%
L-03	Pre-tokenizer normalizer	Un-l33t + homoglyph + encoding-wrapper detector before ONNX tokenization
L-04	Powered agent benchmark	Scaled AART-12 + constrained white-box attacker; publish κ + full baselines (2026-07-09)
L-05	Production stateful tier	ElastiCache + RDS Multi-AZ on `ap-south-1` + DR replica; flip demo to fully stateful
L-08 / L-09	TLS domain + audit	ACM cert + custom domain (Terraform-ready) · external pen-test + SOC2 Type II

New regulation plugins

pdpa_singapore.py · pdpa_thailand.py · lgpd_brazil.py · popia_south_africa.py · nist_ai_rmf.py → 11 plugins · ~150 clauses

Further agentic rings (research)

Ring 14 — Inter-Agent Bus — agent-to-agent message gate + cross-agent identity check (Sandhi already provides the identity primitive).
Ring 15 — Behavioural Fingerprint — persistent agent identity + anomaly detection.
Ring 16 — Plan-of-Record — zero-knowledge proof that the executed plan matches the declared plan, satisfying EU AI Act Article 26 without revealing proprietary plan content.
Content/provenance classifier — V3 semantic classification of assembled/written artefact bodies (the complement to the structural provenance rings).

Why this matters now

EU AI Act Article 14 mandates meaningful human oversight over high-risk agentic systems; Article 26 places deployer obligations on anyone running a third-party AI agent in production. Neither can be satisfied by single-query governance — they require trajectory-level evidence. Chakravyuha V3 is that layer, and it is live.

Built By

Jaswanth Alkur — Founder, Aegis AI · B.Tech CSE (AI & ML), SRM Institute (CGPA 9.19/10)

Built, benchmarked, published, and deployed all of the above solo — the 13-ring engine, the agentic trajectory verifier, 4 published SDK/MCP packages, the AWS cloud stack, an adversarial benchmark with a reproducible harness, a Zenodo preprint, and a peer-reviewed conference paper — with no lab and no GPU.

Building the governance layer the agentic-AI era cannot scale without.
