About mutual

Building trust infrastructure for the post-AI era.

When generative AI makes any content trivially forgeable, the only sustainable answer is proving authenticity at the hardware level.

We let real content prove itself.

Real and fake media sit side by side, and the line between them is vanishing. Detection algorithms are in a losing arms race against generation.

mutual builds hardware that flips the problem: instead of detecting fakes, we let authentic content carry cryptographic proof of its origin, signed at the moment of capture, before software can intervene.

Hardware-rooted

Cryptographic keys live in the silicon. No software can extract or forge them.

Open standard

Built on C2PA. Interoperable by design, not locked into a proprietary ecosystem.

Sensor-level signing

Signatures happen at the moment light hits the sensor. The earliest possible point.

Technology

Every stage uses ECDSA signatures + C2PA manifests. Only the hardware platform evolves.

Now

TrustZone Signing

Luckfox Pico Mini

Key storage and signing in ARM TrustZone Secure World. Software-isolated prototype.

Next

Secure Element

ATECC608A

Signing in a dedicated secure element. Keys physically separated from the main processor.

Goal

Sensor-embedded ASIC

Custom Silicon

Signing logic embedded directly in the image sensor. Light to signature, all in one chip.
