IronClaw is a secure, open-source alternative to OpenClaw designed to protect credentials from AI exposure vulnerabilities. It addresses security risks like prompt injections stealing API keys and malicious skills grabbing passwords that exist in traditional AI systems.

IronClaw's key security features include storing credentials in an encrypted vault inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). These credentials are injected at the network boundary only for approved endpoints, ensuring the AI never sees the raw values. Every tool is Wasm-sandboxed for additional security isolation, and all outbound traffic is scanned for potential data leaks.

The system operates by maintaining complete separation between AI processing and credential access. Credentials remain encrypted within the TEE and are only decrypted at the precise moment they're needed for approved API calls. This network boundary injection prevents the AI from ever having direct access to sensitive information.

IronClaw provides enhanced security for AI systems that require API access, protecting against credential theft through prompt injections and malicious tools. It enables safe deployment of AI agents that need to interact with external services without compromising sensitive authentication data.

Built entirely in Rust for security and performance, IronClaw is open source and can be deployed on NEAR AI Cloud with one-click installation. The technology stack leverages WebAssembly sandboxing for tool isolation and TEE hardware security for credential protection.
