SoC stands for System on a Chip. Defense-grade architecture is hardware built specifically to withstand sophisticated physical and digital attacks.

Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT): A secure corner of the chip that ensures only authorized software can run.

Anti-Tamper Mechanisms: Features that physically destroy the data on the chip if someone tries to dismantle it or probe it with lasers or electricity.

Cryptographic Agility: The ability to update the encryption algorithms stored on the chip without needing to replace the physical hardware.
