System Architecture

The SYMBI protocol is built on a modular, scalable architecture designed to enable transparent AI governance and bidirectional trust verification.

Core Components

Backend Infrastructure

  • •Node.js 18+ with Express.js framework
  • •MongoDB with comprehensive schemas
  • •Socket.io for real-time communication
  • •JWT authentication with refresh tokens

Trust Protocol Engine

  • •9-factor trust scoring algorithm
  • •Temporal decay function
  • •Network propagation scoring
  • •Real-time trust updates

API Implementation

// SYMBI Trust Protocol - Production Backend
// Node.js + Express + MongoDB + Socket.io

// Trust Declaration API
POST /api/trust/declare
{
  "agentId": "agent_12345",
  "trustArticles": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
  "complianceScore": 0.95,
  "ethicalAlignment": 0.98
}

// Real-time Agent Analytics
GET /api/agents/analytics
{
  "totalAgents": 1247,
  "activeTrustDeclarations": 892,
  "averageComplianceScore": 0.94,
  "guiltScoreDistribution": {...}
}

The SYMBI API is designed for high performance and security, with comprehensive documentation and developer tools available for integration.

Data Sovereignty Architecture

SYMBI's data sovereignty architecture ensures that users maintain control over their data while enabling secure and transparent AI interactions.

DID Document Structure

{
  "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1",
  "id": "did:symbi:z123...",
  "verificationMethod": [{
    "id": "did:symbi:z123...#key-1",
    "type": "Ed25519VerificationKey2020",
    "controller": "did:symbi:z123...",
    "publicKeyMultibase": "z6Mk..."
  }],
  "authentication": ["#key-1"],
  "service": [{
    "type": "TrustProtocol",
    "serviceEndpoint": "/api/trust"
  }]
}

Data Pod Architecture

SYMBI's data pods provide a secure, user-controlled storage solution for personal data and AI interactions.

  • •User-controlled access permissions: Granular control over who can access what data
  • •Cross-platform portability: Data can be moved between providers
  • •Encrypted storage: End-to-end encryption for sensitive data
  • •Granular sharing controls: Specific data elements can be shared

Emergency Consent Override (ECO) Protocol

The ECO protocol allows temporary bypass of standard AI safety constraints in life-critical situations, with full audit trails and reversible permissions.

Medical Emergency Override

Doctor uses AI during emergency surgery; safety filter blocks access to unapproved procedure data.

SYMBI Solution: ECO token allows temporary bypass with full audit trail

Journalistic Integrity

Journalist investigates corruption; AI refuses to analyze sensitive documents.

SYMBI Solution: User invokes ECO with dual-key (user + editor/auth) to unlock analysis

Monitoring and Analytics

SYMBI provides comprehensive monitoring and analytics capabilities to ensure system health, security, and performance.

Performance Metrics

  • •Trust calculation latency
  • •API response times
  • •Database query performance
  • •Memory and CPU utilization

Security Monitoring

  • •Failed authentication attempts
  • •Suspicious activity detection
  • •Rate limiting violations
  • •DID/VC verification failures

Business Metrics

  • •User engagement patterns
  • •Trust bond formation rates
  • •Conversation quality trends
  • •RLHF dataset growth

This whitepaper is a living document that will evolve as the SYMBI protocol develops.
