ZEUS X-Trust for High-Security Authentication & Autonomous Agent and Military Drone Swarms

Counts differ because each database indexes a different set of publications. We treat OpenAlex as the canonical count; Google Scholar is not shown (no API, and crawling it violates its ToS).

This preprint completes the ZEUS X-Trust X1 stage and establishes the experimental basis for X2. Two additional Pre-X2 campaigns comprise 60 million measured iterations and 249,000 non-original inputs, with zero unauthorized acceptances. The first campaign forwarded 150,000 attacks across 30 classes to a sealed instance. After reconstructing a row-addressing defect in the stored amplitude data, 148,500 attack responses remained correctly addressable for the class-geometry analysis. The second campaign evaluated 99,000 altered or independent inputs and 1,000 repetitions of the original credential through a SHA-512-only input path. Under this protocol, no edit-distance gradient toward the credential was detected in response magnitude. Across the wider X1 program, the rounded totals are around 725,000 attack attempts and 140 million measured iterations. The paper outlines X2 applications for autonomous agent swarms and military drone swarms. Its first planned X2 stage couples 32 X1 spheres to a main sphere for collective live-state membership, with a reserve sphere also proposed. These are X2 architectural plans; the experiments reported here concern X1. This work continues the expanded X1 validation (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.22736928). Raw measurement files are retained separately and are intended for a separate restricted-access dataset record. Raw data available with request: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22737465 as soon as Zenodo has solved his traffic topics.
