Profitable Privacy is the world's FIRST realisation of Homomorphic Encryption at population scale.
While the ideals of Homomorphic Encryption are noble, it has traditionally been extremely difficult to deploy on a large scale across different applications.
Whether buying new or repurposing old computers, the following are the minimum hardware specifications for a Campus Station:
Note only x86-64 hardware is supported at the moment but support for ARM64 is planned.
To provide GPU resources to your Own AI Teams, you need to have a machine that has at least 2 PCIe x4 slots.
Most computers do not have 4 PCIe x16 slots like the Dell Precision Tower used in our example:
For the first AI Team Station in each region, we can provide a GPU expansion kit to you for free. So you can plugin up to 4 GPUs into a single PCIe x16 slot in your computer.
Most computers support Secure Boot and Measured Boot.
Secure Boot
uses keys stored inside motherboard UEFI NVRAM to stop booting unsigned software (e.g. Linux)
Measured Boot
uses hashes stores inside TPM chip to check whether software has changed to stop decrypting disk drives (e.g. Mandos)
Key Storage
Campus Station runs Disposable Nodes in both LXC and KVM containers, the currently supported operating systems are:
Support for the following operating systems is being tested:
8GB is currently the smallest ram size supported by an AI Station. AI Stations with less than 8GB have been shown to work but are not recommended unless you really have no access to 8GB computers.
Due to Microsoft stopping support of Windows 10, a lot of 8GB machines are coming up at extremely low prices. Below are prices on 2026-08-22 with transport and tax INCLUDED.
