Abstract
Abstract
Deception detection has historically relied on stationary, vulnerable, and episodic polygraph examinations. Ethelgard Tactical introduces a paradigm shift through the Linchpin 2.0 biometric enclave, condensing multi-point interrogation capabilities into a secure, edge-computed wearable. By continuously monitoring high-frequency autonomic fluctuations—specifically Non-Linear Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR)—the system passively detects the involuntary physiological dissonance generated by cognitive load and deception. This whitepaper outlines the technological architecture of this Wearable Autonomic Polygraph and its strategic operational applications, including continuous zero-trust authentication, covert field screening, and the autonomous execution of decoy routing (the Chimera Protocol) to neutralize insider threats and compromised states.
