Current Landscape

Enigma is a security architecture focused on reducing the observability of digital infrastructure.

Most security models assume that infrastructure is externally visible. Communication paths can be monitored with little effort since they are persistent over long periods of time. Encryption may limit access to payload contents, however endpoints, routing, and timing remain observable. Under realistic adversarial conditions, this information can support traffic analysis attacks and long-term correlation. In practice, many classes of network attack depend on prior observation rather than immediate exploitation. Reconnaissance enables attackers to identify reachable services, infer software stacks, profile usage patterns, and select timing and targets that maximize impact. Even when exploits are delivered later through separate channels, their success is often conditioned on knowledge gained through sustained network visibility. By reducing what can be seen at the network layer, Enigma limits the early steps attackers usually rely on. Services that are not publicly discoverable are much harder to scan or map. As a result, automated and opportunistic attacks are far less likely to succeed.
