Industry Collaborations
Carleton University – School of Computer Science & HarpDome Technologies
The School of Computer Science at Carleton University and HarpDome Technologies have established a strategic research partnership focused on advancing AI security, digital provenance, robotics, blockchain, post‑quantum cryptography, FinTech trust systems, and health‑aligned intelligent infrastructure. This collaboration blends academic excellence with industry innovation to build secure, trustworthy, and future‑ready digital ecosystems.
Research Themes
01.
AI Driven Provenance on Robotic Platforms
This project evaluates provenance, security, and blockchain-anchored identity algorithms on real robotic systems such as drones, autonomous inspection units, and simulation platforms. It examines performance under real world and simulated conditions, supporting applications in infrastructure monitoring, emergency response, defense, healthcare robotics (telemedicine drones, hospital inspections, infection control monitoring), and high fidelity healthcare simulation environments used for clinical training and competency assessment.
02.
Metadata Resilience Against Generative AI Attacks
This theme develops next generation metadata standards that resist spoofing, erasure, and AI generated tampering. Using watermarking, steganography, anomaly detection, and blockchain, the project strengthens the integrity of digital content across social media, legal forensics, creative industries, and clinical imaging workflows.
03.
Cross Platform Interoperability For Cross Enabled Provenance Systems
This research builds unified, blockchain-backed provenance frameworks that ensure seamless metadata transfer across devices, editing tools, and verification platforms. Applications span journalism, creative media, e-commerce, digital forensics, and health systems, where diagnostic images and clinical documents must remain authentic across platforms.
04.
Quantum Resistant Blockchain Infrastructure (MPPK) Cut!
This project integrates multivariate polynomial public key (MPPK) cryptography into blockchain systems to prepare for the post-quantum era. It enhances the security of digital identity, financial systems, regulatory records, and sensitive health data such as patient records, genomic datasets, and clinical trial documentation.
05.
Multi Agent Optimization for Coordinated Autonomous Systems
This work develops scalable algorithms for coordinating multiple autonomous agents—such as drones or ground robots—during complex missions. Applications include defense, logistics, disaster response, and healthcare operations (autonomous delivery of medical supplies, coordinated hospital robotics, emergency routing).
06.
Cross Media Provenance For Video, Audio, And Text
This theme extends provenance and tamper-evident metadata to multimedia formats, including video, audio, and text. It supports news verification, digital rights management, e-learning, and clinical documentation integrity across telemedicine recordings, physician dictations, multimodal diagnostic data and now interactive digital content such as games (.competitive gaming, esports, virtual economies, and cross platform game publishing).
07.
Next Gen Digital Trust Infrastructure For Financial Services
This theme develops a quantum resilient, privacy-preserving, tamper-proof trust architecture for the financial sector. It integrates post-quantum cryptography (MPPK), zero-knowledge-based decentralized identity, and attack-resistant metadata provenance to secure financial ledgers, digital securities, audit trails, and regulatory disclosures. Applications include cross-border payments, digital asset verification, regulatory audits, AI-driven risk modeling, and extensions to health insurance, claims processing, and patient identity verification.
Together, Carleton University and HarpDome Technologies are shaping the future of secure, transparent, and quantum‑resilient digital ecosystems. These seven research themes strengthen trust across media, health, finance, and autonomous systems. The partnership welcomes collaboration with researchers, industry partners, and organizations committed to advancing the state of the art in AI security, provenance, and next‑generation digital trust infrastructure.
