AusTender ATM cea1b989 — SABLE Response Draft
Working brief for Anuna Research Cooperative’s response to AusTender ATM cea1b989-ceb0-4b36-8b48-ac1330062362, positioning sable (Secure Attested Biometric Library for Edge — Halo2 zero-knowledge proofs over biometrics, fully offline, no special hardware) as the proposed solution. Anuna positions as “applied AI research, done through the work itself” — integrating AI engineering, organisational design and governance as one unified practice. Anuna is currently delivering eGov services (digital identity + citizen services + advisory) for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), Philippines — production go-live July 2026 — the most directly relevant delivery-capability reference for this RFI (BARMM does not currently deploy SABLE; future SABLE deployment at BARMM is a candidate natural extension). Early international dialogue on the SABLE approach is under way with Germany’s Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI). Adjacent prior clients include Microsoft, Autodesk, CSIRO Data61, Telus, Kellogg, Suncorp, IAG, GovUK and Telefónica.

Our solution: SABLE
../sable — Apache-2.0 ZK biometrics library by Anuna Research Cooperative:
- True zero-knowledge proofs over biometric data — Halo2 transparent setup, ~250 ms proof gen, ~2 ms verification, 2 KB proofs
- Fully offline — peer-to-peer verification via NFC/BLE/WiFi Direct, no cloud, no blockchain
- No special hardware — works with any smartphone camera; spatial-flash liveness detection (Tang et al., NDSS 2018) without depth sensors
- Selective disclosure — BBS+-signed Verifiable Credentials let users prove predicates (e.g. “≥ 18”) without revealing underlying data
- 519 tests passing across the core library, 77 Halo2-specific
See sable-fit for the technical mapping from SABLE capabilities to the ATM’s stated requirements.
