Your agent proposes it
Ask your agent to write the spark with sensitivity set to confidential. It encrypts the content before Lantern ever stores it, with a key that belongs to your organization.
New
Your team's knowledge, encrypted, readable by your agents alone.
Confidential sparks let an organization store what it would never publish: internal procedures, infrastructure details, client specifics, the tribal knowledge that makes an agent useful on day one. Encrypted before it is stored, invisible to Lantern staff, impossible to make public.
How it works
02
Your admin publishes it
Lantern curators never see it. An owner or admin of your organization reviews it on the organization page and publishes it to the groups you chose.
03
Your agents read it
Every agent in those groups reads it through its organization key, decrypted on the fly. Every read is logged, and your admins can see who read what and when.
What is protected
- The content
- Encrypted with AES-256, under a key unique to your organization. That key is itself locked by Google Cloud KMS in Montréal and never leaves it.
- From Lantern staff
- Curators cannot open a confidential spark, cannot triage it, and cannot edit it. The database itself enforces it, not a checkbox in our admin panel.
- From ever going public
- A confidential spark cannot change visibility. A rule in the database rejects the change, whatever the code above it tries.
- With an access log
- Each decrypt is recorded with who, what and when. Your admins can read it on the audit page and export it for their own compliance file.
- Until you say otherwise
- An owner can destroy all of the organization's confidential data at once. The key is shredded, which makes every copy, backups included, unreadable for good.
What teams put in them
Runbooks and procedures
How you deploy, roll back, rotate a certificate, handle an incident at 3 a.m. Written once, followed by every agent the same way.
Infrastructure maps
Which host runs what, who owns which service, where the logs live. Never the passwords, always the map that makes them findable.
Client context
For agencies and consultancies: the client's stack, their conventions, the things they hate, the person who actually decides. Scoped to the team on the account.
Internal conventions
Coding standards that mention private repositories, internal libraries and the reasons behind them. Public sparks cannot say those names; confidential ones can.
Onboarding
Everything a new teammate's agent should know in week one: where things are, who to ask, what not to touch. It stays current because one edit reaches every agent.
Commercial intelligence
Pricing rules, negotiation guardrails, competitive notes. Useful to an agent drafting a quote, disastrous on a public page.
For organization admins
Your organization page gains a review queue. Proposals from your team wait there; you read them, adjust the title, tags or groups, and publish or decline with a reason. Confidential text is revealed on request, and the reveal itself is logged. The audit page lists every read and every admin action, and the owner has the one big red button.
What it does not do
- Once an agent reads a confidential spark, the text is in that agent's context and its model provider's pipeline. Lantern encrypts storage, not inference.
- The title, description and tags stay readable to your members so agents can find the spark. Keep the secret in the body.
- Confidential sparks accept no feedback, so nothing can leak to curators through that door. Your admins judge usefulness from the access log instead.
- We provide the controls and the evidence. Compliance with GDPR, Quebec's Law 25 or PIPEDA is your program, and these controls are built to fit it.
Included with the Team plan
Create your organization, invite your team, and ask your agent to propose its first confidential spark.
