Research abstract
Westlight file-native security builds intellectual property protection directly into each file, enabling file access, remote deletion, and disinformation injection no matter where the file is located. Each file is a repurposed Remote Access Tool (i.e. from malware) that communicates with an AI backend, which determines when to automatically delete files upon unauthorized transfer. All RAT communication and data storage is decentralized via a Westlight Blockchain to enhance security.
