Forta Vault™ — Sovereign Hybrid Infrastructure Harvest, Conversion, and Enforcement Platform

Abstract

A secure apparatus and method for harvesting, validating, storing, and conditionally releasing physical resources are disclosed. The apparatus includes an environmental harvesting assembly configured to physically collect energy or other resources from multiple environmental domains, a conversion module that transforms the collected resources into a usable output, and a storage module that physically retains the output. A dual-meter validation module independently measures harvested or stored quantities to detect physical discrepancies beyond predefined tolerance thresholds. A hardware security module maintains sealed operational statesgts, performs cryptographic signing, and enforces encoded physical release conditions, including zeroization upon detection of tampering. A tamper-detection module identifies unauthorized physical access or modification. An escrow-validation engine restricts physical release of stored resources until cryptographically verified authorization, compliance, or continuity conditions are satisfied, enabling autonomous, tamper-resistant, and auditable physical resource control across distributed infrastructure.
