1. The Zero-Payload Architectural Principle

Biopharma organizations and diagnostic biobanks operate under strict regulatory requirements (HIPAA, GxP, GDPR Article 9). BaseScale is architected so that no raw biological sequences, alignment files, or patient identifiers ever enter our telemetry stream.

Data Category BaseScale Architecture Handling
Raw Genomic Reads (.fastq, .fq) STRICT ZERO ACCESS / DROPPED
Aligned Read Coordinates (.bam, .cram) STRICT ZERO ACCESS / DROPPED
Genomic Variants (.vcf, .bcf) STRICT ZERO ACCESS / DROPPED
Process Memory High-Water (RSS) Captured via cgroup v2 controller
AWS EC2 Spot Preemption Signal Intercepted via IMDSv2 polling

All probe code is compiled in pure-Rust using Aya without C bindings or user-space memory inspection hooks.

2. Linux Kernel eBPF Safety & CO-RE Verification

BaseScale's lightweight worker daemon (basescale-ebpf-agent) runs with zero external kernel modules (no proprietary .ko kernel drivers). It leverages the Linux kernel's native eBPF verifier and Compile Once - Run Everywhere (CO-RE) technology:

Formal Kernel Verifier Proofs

Before bytecode is loaded, the Linux kernel verifier mathematically proves that probe programs terminate, have no unbounded loops, never perform illegal memory dereferences, and cannot panic the operating system.

Passive Read-Only Tracepoints

Probes attach strictly to standard read-only tracepoints (sched:sched_switch, memory page allocations). Probes cannot modify process memory or alter biological computation.

3. Pure-Rust Hardware-Accelerated mTLS 1.3 Wire Transport

Node-to-control-plane communications run over hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 with mutual authentication (mTLS):

  • Ephemeral X.509 PKI: Certificates rotate automatically on 24-hour cycles. Node agents only accept handshakes from customer-authorized control plane endpoints.
  • Proprietary Binary Codec (GENX): Enforces strict 10-byte binary packet framing (Magic byte: 0x47454E58). Telemetry packets cannot carry arbitrary payloads.
  • Cryptographic Tenant Keys: Each tenant's telemetry is partitioned by dedicated cryptographic public keys with AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption at rest.

4. Cryptographic SHA-256 Audit Ledger

Every provisioning recommendation, spot auction bid, and container resize is cryptographically hashed and appended to a tamper-evident audit ledger using SHA-256 block chaining.

// Sample Cryptographic Audit Ledger Entry
{
  "block_id": 1042,
  "action": "CONTAINER_RIGHT_SIZED",
  "pipeline": "nf-core/rnaseq:ALIGN_STAR",
  "previous_hash": "00000a4b912ec984...",
  "current_hash": "4a5c9efb91421141bf9201948ba33..."
}

Ledger records are exported directly to customer S3/GCS audit buckets with Object Lock (WORM compliance) for third-party institutional audits.

5. Security Governance & Vulnerability Disclosure

Genix BaseScale™ security practices are overseen by the Infrastructure Security Team at Radiome Health Private Limited. We maintain continuous vulnerability scanning, third-party penetration testing, and prompt coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
