# Government & Defense

**Sovereign, provable system trust.**

Government and defence environments need assurance that every device in an estate is what it claims to be, and that this can be proven independently rather than asserted by a vendor.

## Why it fits

* **Sovereign control** — deployable on-premises and air-gapped capable, so verification never leaves the perimeter
* **No single authority** — multi-party verification removes the central trust anchor that would otherwise be a target
* **Provable posture** — every verification is cryptographically anchored and independently checkable
* **Decades-long assurance** — post-quantum by architecture, for systems with long operational lifetimes

## Typical applications

* Classified and restricted network integrity
* Defence supply chain and equipment provenance
* Critical national infrastructure protection
* Inter-agency trust without a shared central authority

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.naorisquantumprotocol.com/use-cases/government-and-defense.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
