Macha EST
Macha Evidence Storage and Transport (EST), a new Rigr AI product, is inspired by Macha, a revered goddess from Irish mythology who was known for her strength, speed, and intelligence.Macha EST is a cloud-based platform for securing storing and sharing sensitive digital evidence, easily handling even files with sizes in the hundreds of GB. Macha EST provides swift and reliable access to crucial data while maintaining the highest security standards. Users can trust that the sensitive evidence is protected and accessible only to those with the necessary credentials.Macha features a desktop client application to perform encryption on files as they are streamed to the cloud. Security is highly compartmentalized, with each case protected by a unique encryption key. Even keys are never stored centrally except when protected with user-specific encryption - so that even a very highly privileged administrator cannot compromise evidence. As a further layer of protection, we use Intel SGX, runtime encryption for the cloud server's memory.What about the chain of custody? We calculate cryptographically secure hashes for each file uploaded with Macha, and comprehensive logs are maintained for complete traceability of all user actions around evidence storage, transport and sharing.To find out more, contact us, info@rigr.ai

What's with the name?
Q. What's with the name?
A. Very tight vowel budget.
Q. Seriously?
A. You've probably heard of Heimdall - famously reliable guy, guards Asgard for Odin, making sure no naughty mortals (or Ice Giants) are sneaking over the rainbow bridge. Can hear the grass grow, will do his bit at Ragnarrok.
Q. Yes, but what does this have to do with your name?
A. When Heimdall's Viking adherents took their culture to our Celtic shores, he was rebranded for the local market - as Rigr. Luckily for us, they let their domain name registration lapse post-Christianisation.
