DECC is a hardware-enforced governance layer that moves execution decisions from software into silicon. When governance says deny, a relay opens. No software override possible. Built on custom FPGA + compute bridge, formally verified, measured in milliseconds.
Software governance gates can be patched, disabled, or bypassed. Hardware governance cannot. DECC moves the final execution decision from software into a hardened FPGA layer where denial is irreversible.
Once DECC evaluates a gate and issues a denial, no running application, kernel, or user can override it. The hardware relay opens. Execution stops. This is irreversible at runtime.
SHA-256 attestation runs on the FPGA itself. Governance decisions are hashed, timestamped, and cryptographically sealed before they leave silicon. Audit chain is hardware-backed, not software-trusted.
The FPGA design is formally proved with SymbiYosys. No undefined behavior, no race conditions, no side effects. The silicon enforces exactly what was specified, no more, no less.
If your system must guarantee that a denial is actually a denial—that no patch, no restart, no emergency override can make a forbidden action happen—DECC is the substrate you need.
