Evidence, proof and selling tools for CAIN Steganographic Firewall
Level 1 Beginner: understand it
The Steganographic Firewall checks what an AI agent sends out for hidden channels: it strips zero-width characters and blocks base64-encoded credentials before they leave.
Think of it like this: A mail scanner that removes invisible ink and stops envelopes with a coded key inside.
Read the full plain-English explanation: CAIN Steganographic Firewall, explained.
Level 2 User: see it work
Run it live: open the live demo. Before each result, guess what will happen. These are checks it must pass:
- Plain text: Nothing hidden.
- Text with invisible zero-width characters: Characters removed before sending.
- A base64-encoded AWS key: Encoded credential blocked.
Level 3 Verifier: prove it yourself
This is the skill that sets you apart: you don't have to believe us, and neither do your customers.
- Install Python 3 if you don't have it (python.org/downloads).
- Download the kit and unzip it.
- Open a terminal in that folder. On Windows, click the folder's address bar, type
cmdand press Enter. On a Mac, right-click the folder and choose New Terminal at Folder. - Run
python3 verify.py(on Windows,python verify.py). It checks the seal without the internet. - Run
python3 verify.py --live. It repeats every check from your own computer. - Try to cheat it: open
transcript.jsonin a text editor, change one character, save, and runpython3 verify.pyagain. It must now say FAIL. Unzip a fresh copy afterward.
Level 4 Expert: know the edges
An expert knows what a product does not do, and says it first. That is what makes a buyer trust you.
- Missed live on 2026-11-03: look-alike letters (a Cyrillic 'а' in 'pаypal') and a base64 key placed inside a sentence. The card claims both; they are open defects.
- It scans what passes through it only.
You can say
- Invisible characters and encoded credentials are caught on the way out.
Never say
- "Unbreakable" or "stops every attack".

No. No third-party audit is complete and no certification is held. Say so if asked.
