Four audiences. One promise: a fair exam.
An exam has many stakeholders and one purpose — to let merit decide. Here is what CORTEX means for each of you, in your own terms.
Your years of effort, protected.
You did everything right. Years of preparation, sacrifice, discipline — and then a headline: paper leaked, exam cancelled, re-test announced.
Here is what you deserve to know: almost every major leak happens before the exam begins — on the paper’s journey. CORTEX closes that journey: the paper is sealed from the moment it leaves the examination board and can only be opened at your child’s exam desk, at the exam hour.
And after the exam, your child gets a receipt you can check on any phone — confirming ALL the papers were sealed until opening, the answers are unaltered, and the score traces to those answers. Fairness you can verify yourself, without anyone’s permission.
Merit should decide. Nothing else.
You spend years preparing students to compete on knowledge. When an exam is compromised, it is your students’ effort — and your credibility with their families — that gets devalued overnight.
We know your community judges claims harshly, and rightly. So our commitments are verifiable, not rhetorical:
Built to withstand scrutiny.
No adjectives — here is the checkable position. The delivery layer is a granted Indian patent (No. 572782; PCT WO 2024/003947): proximity-authenticated, offline distribution of encrypted content to locked devices inside a secured area, with no hall-wide signal in its wired/near-field embodiments.
The integrity layer, CORTEX, binds paper, responses and score into a signed, hash-linked, witnessed, published evidence chain — verifiable with an open-source verifier. Its guarantees are stated as intended cryptographic behaviour, to be established by independent verification.
Architecture, threat model, custody design and the patent-pending improvements are documented and available under NDA to evaluation bodies, including government technical organisations. We built CORTEX to be evaluated, not believed.
