An inter-governmental cybersecurity capacity-building initiative for sensitive non-classified mobile communications of government officials and citizens

A new inter-governmental cybersecurity capacity-building and cyber diplomacy initiative will be presented that aims to radically increase the confidentiality, accountability and convenience of the day-to-day non-classified digital mobile communications of diplomats, prime ministers, journalists, all targeted law-abiding citizens, and their close associates. 

The Trustless Computing Certification Body and Seevik Net is aggregating a critical mass of like-minded states, intergovernmental organizations and NGOs to jointly build and govern a new global digital infrastructure for sensitive non-classified mobile computing, governance structure for its joint management, and mechanisms for their national and international legitimate lawful access.

Representatives of like-minded nations, IGOs and INGOs are invited to attend to explore the possibility of becoming governance or cofounder partners fo the Initiative.

A Unique Security Model

TCCB and Seevik Net will achieve radically-unprecedented levels of trustworthiness and ensure legitimate national and international lawful access  (A) by applying to both extreme, battle-tested, and open socio-technical safeguards, and checks and balances, the Trustless Computing Paradigms, that are applied to all technologies and processes critically involved in the entire life-cycle - down to fabrication oversight (TCCB Fab), CPU design and hosting room access (TCCB Cloud) and (B) via a governance model and statute that highly maximizes global democratic accountability, socio-technical competency, and resiliency from state pressures. 

A new Form Factor and Product Class

Seevik Net will include (1) seamlessly portable 2mm-thin client devices, carried in custom leather wallets or embedded in the back of any commercial smartphones, with special 3rd party apps; (2) interoperable messaging and social apps for mainstream app stores, (3) an open multi-national private cloud, made up of a multi-national network of TCCB-compliant hosting rooms in the territories of state founder partners.
