OceanGrid is a sovereign, distributed compute network built on subsea infrastructure — delivering resilient, low-latency trust at global scale.
Explore OceanGrid
For nations and industries whose data cannot leave their sovereign envelope, renting foreign infrastructure is no longer acceptable. OceanGrid places distributed compute on the seabed inside national waters — cooled by the ocean for free, powered continuously by marine energy, and serviced by a resident fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles. Above the physical architecture sits a quantum-hardened governance layer that enforces who can compute what, where, and under whose authority — cryptographically, not contractually. When authority is revoked, compute stops.
Authority decisions are made close to where actions happen, not funnelled through a single centre that can fail or be reached.
Each jurisdiction retains its own authority domain — policy, evidence and governance stay where they belong.
Loss of connectivity, capacity or a region degrades reach, never the correctness of the decision.
A trust layer that depends on one centre inherits that centre’s politics, latency and failure modes. As intelligent systems spread across borders, vessels, vehicles and facilities, the authority governing them has to be as distributed as the systems themselves — without fragmenting into inconsistency.
Continuous Authorisation remains the technology IrisKey licenses. OceanGrid describes how that technology is arranged when it operates at scale — the topology, not the trust model. A licensee can embed Continuous Authorisation without OceanGrid; OceanGrid exists for the programmes where distribution, sovereignty and resilience are themselves requirements.
The engine and the Five Gates. Decides whether an action may proceed. This is what we license.
The distributed arrangement of those engines across regions, jurisdictions and platforms.
Same gates, same evidence model, same licence. OceanGrid changes where decisions live, never what they mean.
Identity answered who.
Continuous Authorisation answers whether — continuously.
IrisKey licenses its Continuous Authorisation technology to organisations developing intelligent systems. Whether embedded into connected vehicles, national infrastructure, enterprise platforms or autonomous machines, the underlying technology remains the same. We provide the trust layer. Our partners build the solutions.
