The Kernelizer

Delivers only the slice of the network a device needs, and runs it locally.

Most devices do not need the whole network. The Kernelizer works out the minimal set of addresses, permissions, and morphs a given device requires, and packages just that to run on the device itself.

How it works

  • A device connects and presents its identity.
  • The Kernelizer resolves what that identity is allowed to see and what the device has asked to follow.
  • It delivers a compact kernel — resolution rules, credentials, and morphs — scoped to that device.
  • The device runs the kernel locally and maintains its own bi-links.

Why local

  • Lower latency — no round trip through a central broker for every change.
  • Works through intermittent connectivity — the kernel keeps the last known state.
  • Smaller attack surface — the device holds only the credentials it needs.

Updates

When permissions or subscriptions change, the Kernelizer pushes a new kernel. The device swaps it in without dropping active bi-links.
