Technology Architecture

ObscuraProof Framework and Technical Infrastructure

Technology Architecture

ObscuraProof is built on a proprietary architecture consisting of three core components: the SaaS Platform for enterprise access, the AI Agent System for intelligent optimization, and the API Gateway for programmatic integration. This architecture enables enterprises to access our solution either through our cloud-based SaaS platform or via secure API integration with their existing infrastructure.

Core Architecture Overview

Our platform architecture separates concerns across distinct layers, each optimized for specific functionality while maintaining seamless integration:

Proprietary Verification Engine

Our proprietary verification engine leverages advanced zkProof technology to enable sustainability verification without data disclosure. The system operates through secure API endpoints:

API-Based Proof Generation

Enterprises submit their sustainability data through our secure API to generate cryptographic proofs:

// Example: Creating a carbon neutrality proof via API
const response = await fetch('https://api.obscuraproof.com/v1/proofs', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    type: 'carbon_neutrality',
    data: {
      period: '2025-Q3',
      metrics: encryptedData // Your data is encrypted before transmission
    }
  })
});

const proof = await response.json();
// Returns: verified proof ID and verification certificate

Verification Service

Our verification service enables instant validation of sustainability claims:

// Example: Verifying a sustainability claim
const verification = await fetch('https://api.obscuraproof.com/v1/verify', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    proofId: 'proof_xyz123',
    claim: 'carbon_neutral'
  })
});

const result = await verification.json();
// Returns: verification status with cryptographic guarantee

Enterprise Integration

For enterprise clients requiring deeper integration, we provide dedicated endpoints and custom verification circuits tailored to specific industry needs. All processing occurs on our secure infrastructure, ensuring data privacy and regulatory compliance.

AI Agent System

Our AI Agent System provides intelligent insights and optimization recommendations based on verified data and benchmarking results:

Agent Architecture

The AI system consists of specialized agents for different sustainability domains:

Optimization Agent: Analyzes current metrics and suggests improvements

  • Resource efficiency recommendations
  • Cost-benefit analysis for sustainability investments
  • ROI predictions for different strategies

Benchmark Agent: Provides competitive intelligence

  • Anonymous peer comparison
  • Industry trend analysis
  • Performance gap identification

Compliance Agent: Ensures regulatory alignment

  • Regulatory requirement mapping
  • Automated compliance checking
  • Reporting recommendations

Agent Integration

# Example: Using the AI Agent System
from obscura import AIAgent

agent = AIAgent(api_key="your_api_key")

# Get optimization recommendations
recommendations = agent.optimize({
    'current_metrics': verified_data,
    'target': 'carbon_reduction',
    'budget': 5000000,
    'timeline': '12_months'
})

# Results include:
# - Specific actions with ROI projections
# - Implementation timeline
# - Expected impact on benchmarks

      estimatedImpact
      investmentRequired
    }
  }
}
