COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY REVIEW
Our Hardware-Assisted ZK Audit Scope
Our specialized audit goes beyond standard smart contract reviews to assess the entire hardware-assisted ZK proof generation stack, ensuring cryptographic integrity and operational resilience for your critical infrastructure.
02
ZK Circuit Implementation Review
Deep analysis of your custom ZK circuits (Circom, Halo2, Noir) for soundness, completeness, and efficiency. We identify logical flaws, constraint system errors, and potential prover/verifier mismatches.
03
Cryptographic Protocol & Assumptions
Verification of the underlying cryptographic primitives (elliptic curves, pairing-friendly fields, hash functions) and their correct implementation. We validate all security assumptions are met for your chosen proof system.
04
Side-Channel & Fault Attack Resistance
Assessment of the system's resilience against timing attacks, power analysis, and fault injection. We review countermeasures in both hardware and software layers of the proof generation pipeline.
05
Prover Performance & Optimization
Evaluation of proof generation speed, memory usage, and hardware utilization. We identify bottlenecks and provide actionable recommendations to reduce latency and operational costs.
06
System Integration & API Security
Review of the APIs, network communication, and orchestration layer that connects your application to the hardware prover. Ensures secure, reliable, and tamper-proof data flow end-to-end.

MITIGATE CRITICAL RISKS
Why Audit Hardware-Accelerated ZK Systems
Hardware acceleration introduces unique attack surfaces and failure modes. Our specialized audits ensure your system's security, performance, and correctness are mathematically proven before mainnet deployment.
01
Identify Hardware-Software Integration Flaws
We audit the critical interface between your ZK proving logic and the underlying hardware (GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs) to prevent silent data corruption, timing attacks, and side-channel vulnerabilities that can invalidate proofs.

02
Verify Cryptographic Implementation Correctness
Our experts validate that hardware-optimized implementations of elliptic curve operations (e.g., BN254, BLS12-381), multi-scalar multiplication (MSM), and Number Theoretic Transforms (NTT) are mathematically sound and free of logical errors.
