1. Purpose
AegisWire provides a post-quantum secure transport and enterprise VPN platform — with hybrid quantum-resistant encryption, signed trust chains, policy-controlled connectivity, turnkey multi-region site-to-site federation, and a metered developer SDK — designed for legitimate professional, commercial, and governmental use in regulated and security-sensitive environments. This AUP defines the conduct expected of all Customers, authorised users, and any person who accesses the platform, directly or through a Customer account.
