Company
SeraphVPN was created to address a growing gap between how secure systems are marketed and how they are actually built. As advances in computing—particularly quantum computing—begin to undermine long-standing cryptographic assumptions, we believe security infrastructure must be re-examined at the architectural level, not incrementally patched.
Our work is centered on PALISADE, a post-quantum-native VPN protocol designed from first principles to minimize long-term cryptographic risk while remaining practical to deploy today. SeraphVPN applies this protocol in a real, operational system, demonstrating that quantum-resilient networking does not require proprietary hardware, opaque trust models, or speculative cryptography.
Our Approach
We believe secure systems should be:
- Explainable — security claims should be grounded in documented assumptions, not marketing language
- Evaluable — designs should support independent review and future standardization
- Practical — deployable on existing infrastructure under real operational constraints
SeraphVPN is developed with explicit threat modeling, documented security invariants, and a commitment to minimizing unnecessary data collection.
Transparency and Responsibility
We do not believe in "security through obscurity." Our protocol design, threat model, and security assumptions are intended to be understandable and open to scrutiny. Where tradeoffs exist, we aim to state them clearly.
SeraphVPN does not log user traffic or activity. Operational data collection is limited to what is necessary to maintain service reliability.
Status
SeraphVPN is under active development and deployment. Ongoing work includes external review, performance evaluation, and engagement with the research and standards communities.
Founder
SeraphVPN was founded by Clayton Henry, a software engineer focused on secure systems, applied cryptography, AI and infrastructure design. This project emphasizes my commitment to transparent security assumptions, innovation, and practical deployability.
