🎨 About Smart Banner Hub

Smart Banner Hub is a technology company pioneering mathematical creativity, education, and quantum-safe authentication. Through its proprietary engines—Clustrolin™ for mathematical creativity and education, and Clustrauth™ for quantum-safe authentication—the company pioneered three entirely new categories. Founded by computer scientist and Georgia Tech alumnus Ashwin Spencer, Smart Banner Hub operates six creative studios plus StrokeSense Academy (the world's first DBSCAN-powered learning management system), Quantum Auth Forge™ (the world's first consumer-accessible post-quantum document authentication platform), the Clustrolin API (developer REST API for DBSCAN creative animations), the Clustrauth API (developer REST API for programmatic quantum-safe signing), and Maximum Security post-quantum signatures—years ahead of the federal 2035 quantum-safe deadline.

🚀 Key Innovations

Handwriting Education: StrokeSense Academy transforms handwriting education with real-time DBSCAN-powered stroke scoring. Teachers create courses for any writing system—Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew—and students receive instant feedback on path accuracy, direction, and smoothness—plus stroke order when practicing freely. Free to join with 70/30 revenue sharing for educators.

Post-Quantum Cryptographic Signatures: The first email signature platform with NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography, featuring ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium), Ed25519, SHA3-256, and Argon2id. Using 512-bit cryptographic seeds with 10^154 possible combinations, Maximum Security signatures are protected against both current and future quantum computing threats.

Document Authentication: Quantum Auth Forge™ provides consumer-accessible post-quantum document authentication powered by Clustrauth™. The Clustrauth API brings the same NIST FIPS 204 cryptography to developers with subscription pricing — three lines of code, sign any file, verify forever.

Mathematical Creativity: Signature Studio provides post-quantum cryptographically unique email signatures, Typography Studio Pro combines text and photography on a single canvas with full-color DBSCAN animation and Living Typography motion effects, Portrait Studio makes photographs redraw themselves point-by-point, Doodle Animation Studio transforms drawings into DBSCAN algorithmic animations, StrokeSense Studio captures handwriting motion and replays it stroke-by-stroke with automatic color separation, and Video Ecards delivers animated messages. Together, these products democratize mathematical art and cryptographic trust for everyone from social media creators to Fortune 500 businesses.

⚡ Revolutionary Technology

🔐 Post-Quantum Cryptographic Security

Smart Banner Hub pioneered the world's first email signature platform with NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography. Maximum Security signatures use ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium)—the same standard selected for U.S. federal systems—alongside Ed25519 classical signatures, SHA3-256 hashing, and Argon2id key derivation. This hybrid approach provides protection against both current threats and future quantum computers.

• ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium): NIST FIPS 204 post-quantum digital signatures—quantum-resistant lattice cryptography
• 512-Bit Cryptographic Seed: Generates 10^154 possible combinations—more than atoms in the observable universe
• Hybrid Approach: Classical Ed25519 + post-quantum ML-DSA for defense in depth
• Federal Timeline: Years ahead of the government's 2035 quantum-safe migration deadline

🧮 Clustrolin™ - Our DBSCAN Creative Engine

Clustrolin™ is Smart Banner Hub's proprietary technology that applies DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithms to creative applications and education. This represents the world's first successful application of advanced clustering technology to personal content generation and real-time educational assessment.

• First Application: Density-Based Spatial Clustering to real-time creative animation
• Mathematical Process: Transforms user input into mathematical clusters
• Professional Output: Creates animations suitable for social media and commercial use
• Educational Innovation: Powers real-time stroke scoring for handwriting education
• Platform Optimized: Desktop and iPad precision software suite
• Clustrolin API: REST API for programmatic DBSCAN animations — three compute tiers ($4.99–$19.99 per creation), auto-scaling on Google Cloud Platform. One API key works across both Clustrolin and Clustrauth.

📚 StrokeSense Academy - DBSCAN-Powered Education

StrokeSense Academy applies Clustrolin™ technology to education, creating the world's first learning management system with mathematically-precise stroke scoring. The platform analyzes student strokes in real-time across three core metrics.

• Path Accuracy: How closely the student follows the reference path
• Direction Score: Whether each stroke moves in the proper direction
• Smoothness: Fluidity and steadiness of the stroke
• Stroke Order: Correct sequence of strokes (free practice mode)
• Universal Script Support: Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, and any stroke-based writing system
• Deterministic Scoring: Transparent, consistent, explainable—no black-box AI

🛡️ Clustrauth™ - Document Authentication Engine

Clustrauth™ powers both Quantum Auth Forge™ (consumer) and the Clustrauth API (developer), providing quantum-safe document authentication with post-quantum cryptography. Verify document integrity with NIST-approved algorithms while your document stays completely unchanged.

• Zero Document Storage: We never store your documents—only cryptographic proof
• Bit-Level Integrity: Any modification to your file causes verification to fail
• Certificate System: Unique Certificate IDs for permanent verification
• Hybrid Signatures: Ed25519 + ML-DSA for quantum-resistant authentication
• Clustrauth API: REST API for programmatic signing — Developer ($249/mo), Business ($999/mo), Enterprise (custom). Three lines of code, verify forever.

🎯 Applications

🔮 Industry Position

Unrivaled authority with zero competition in Clustrolin™ mathematical creative applications, StrokeSense Academy educational technology, Clustrauth™ document authentication, post-quantum cryptographic signatures, and developer-accessible APIs for both DBSCAN creative animation (Clustrolin API) and quantum-safe document signing (Clustrauth API). Smart Banner Hub is the first platform with NIST-approved quantum-resistant cryptography for both email signatures and document authentication, the first to apply DBSCAN clustering to real-time educational assessment, and the first to offer both creative animation and post-quantum document signing via REST APIs with subscription pricing—years ahead of the federal 2035 deadline.
