Aegis-Link is the world's first AI-native SIM identity protocol. AEGIS-LINK AI continuously monitors subscriber behaviour, scores threat vectors in real time, and enforces cryptographic identity at the network layer - eliminating SIM swap fraud before it starts.
A fraudster calls an MNO, claims to have lost their phone, and walks away with your number. Every bank OTP, every authentication token, every account now belongs to them. There is no cryptographic verification. There is no AI. There is no defence. SIM swap fraud costs the world $12 billion every year — and it's accelerating.
Every competitor relies on static rules. Aegis-Link's AEGIS-LINK AI engine learns from every attack attempt, every anomalous SIM event, every fraud pattern — building a model that becomes exponentially harder to defeat as the network grows.
Raising a seed round to fund the 90-day prototype, deploy AEGIS-LINK AI v1 on AWS SageMaker, initiate pilot conversations with South Africa's top retail banks, and complete the CIPC patent + PCT filing. Patent-pending. AWS infrastructure provisioned. AEGIS-LINK AI model architecture complete. Prototype in build.
Cryptographic identity binding + AI-native threat intelligence + zero-knowledge attestation. The only SIM fraud protocol that learns, adapts, and improves with every event — deployed entirely on AWS, zero hardware required.
When a subscriber first registers, Aegis-Link's Lambda engine generates an ECDSA P-256 key pair inside AWS CloudHSM — the hardware security module never accessible from outside AWS. The private key never leaves CloudHSM. The public key is registered to the subscriber's MSISDN in the Protected Subscriber Registry on AWS RDS. No device, no SIM card, no specialist hardware required.
Every SIM provisioning event, authentication request, and device change is scored in real time by AEGIS-LINK — our purpose-built transformer model running on AWS SageMaker. 47 behavioural signals are extracted, scored, and fused into a threat confidence value (0.00–1.00) in under 50 milliseconds. High-risk events trigger elevated ZKP requirements or outright block the provisioning request before any network change occurs.
When any SIM provisioning event is initiated — a swap, reassignment, or IMSI change — the Aegis-Link protocol intercepts at the HLR/UDM layer via GSMA Open Gateway. The requesting party must present a valid DIK signature. AEGIS-LINK AI simultaneously scores the event. If either check fails — invalid signature or threat score above threshold — the request is rejected outright. No human can override it. No social engineering possible.
Banks call the Aegis-Link ZKP API before approving high-value transactions. The API returns a cryptographic proof — "SIM binding intact for N days" — plus a AEGIS-LINK AI threat score, in under 400ms from . No subscriber name, MSISDN, account number, biometric or private key is ever transmitted. POPIA compliant by design. The bank's single API call encompasses the full cryptographic and AI verdict.
