LogiGate: A zero-trust middleware architecture for AI liability written in Rust
LogiGate is an open-source, zero-trust middleware architecture implemented in Rust that enforces AI liability by cryptographically signing every inference request and response, creating an immutable audit trail for regulatory compliance.
Background
- **LogiGate** is an open-source middleware architecture (written in Rust) that enforces **zero-trust** on AI inference pipelines — every request, response, and model interaction is independently verified rather than implicitly trusted.
- It targets **AI liability**: as AI is used in regulated domains (healthcare, finance, law), there is no standard way to audit who or what is responsible when a model produces harmful output. LogiGate logs, validates, and cryptographically signs every step between input and output, creating an auditable chain of custody.
- "Zero-trust" means it treats the AI model, infrastructure, and user as potentially compromised, verifying each interaction separately.
- Written in **Rust** for memory safety and performance, avoiding Python's garbage-collection latency.
- The project is early-stage (a GitHub repo with architecture docs). It reflects growing regulatory pressure — EU AI Act, US executive orders — for traceability and accountability in AI systems.
