Our Mission

To secure communications where others can’t by rethinking trust from the ground up.

Tessera Defense Solutions is a defense-focused startup in stealth mode, applying Key Event Receipt Infrastructure (KERI) to solve a growing problem: how to establish trust and communicate securely when networks are sparse, unstable, or under threat.
Legacy systems weren’t designed for the pace or complexity of modern missions. We're rethinking the fundamentals — making identity and trust portable, verifiable, and infrastructure-independent.

With KERI, we are building verifiable, decentralized trust systems for secure, low-bandwidth, high-integrity communications. Our goal is to enable warfighters, operators, and mission-critical systems to communicate safely — even in denied, intermittent, or limited connectivity environments.
We believe resilience, interoperability, and cryptographic verifiability are essential to 21st-century security. Our team combines deep technical experience with firsthand insight into the challenges faced by defense and national security operators.
