Your company’s and your customers’ digital experiences are encumbered.

You want to deliver new digital user experiences, but legacy tools hinder you from realizing this promise — encumbering you with designs that result in fragmented identity, siloed data, and entrusting centralized, unaccountable 3rd parties (network providers, cloud providers, and certificate authorities). A new paradigm is needed to your customers a truly seamless digital experience without entrusting security to unaccountable big tech.

The Zero Trust paradigm unlocks new experiences for your customers.

Zero Trust is a paradigm in which data is digitally signed and encrypted at the source so that it can be independently verified by the recipient without having to trust intermediary service providers. Zero Trust not only applies to data exchange but also to credential verification, verification of consensus processes such as user approvals. As such, Zero Trust enables new patterns of computational flow for seamless end-user digital experiences.

Keychain Core provides you the missing pieces needed to delight them.

There’s a huge gap between the tools you need and the components available (open-source or otherwise). The cost of integrating Zero Trust into your applications is prohibitively costly and time consuming. Keychain Core provides to you self-sovereign Zero Trust capability in one, easy-to-install, hermetically packaged software module that will get you to market quickly and cost effectively.

Self-sovereign Identity: Each of your customers’ devices manage their cryptographic keys.
Data Security: Each of your customers’ devices manage their cryptographic keys.
Verifiable Credentials: Any actor in your system may create digitally signed attributes pertaining to other actors. For example, “is over 21 years of age”, “is a person”, or “is authorized to receive certain data”.
Application-level Consensus: Shared-state attestation management based on digital certificates allows you to integrate cryptographically verifiable checkpoints of the states between multiple actors. “What you see is what I see, I know you see what I see, and I know that you know what I see is what you see.”

Crossing the chasm is as easy as one, two, three.

Keychain Core packages powerful security concepts so that the common IT team can confidently deploy next generation Web3 applications.

Crossing the chasm is easy with Keychain Core

Download and install.: Download the Keychain Core package and clone one of the Keychain solution accelerator projects. All Keychain Core dependencies are baked into the package for you.
Build.: Our solution accelerators repos are build-ready and include man-in-the-middle defense demos (desktop and smart watch), a smart phone chat app, and digital asset demo. You’ll have a working demo running in minutes!
Go!: Use the templates from the solution accelerators as a springboard for your own projects or create new projects from scratch.

Keychain Core covers a wide range of devices

Independence and control.: Keychain Core is built from the ground up to minimize the areas you must entrust to a third party, even Keychain. Further, Keychain Core is designed to be minimally opinionated to give you maximal control over decisions such as where to store data and what infrastructure to use. We don’t not see your data and keys, and lock-in is minimized using standard formats.
Interoperability.: Keychain Core is the first framework that combines Web3 capabilities and out-of-the-box conformance with established international data security standards. As Keychain and other partners deploy end-user applications, your applications will be, in principle, interoperable with them also.
Agility.: With native SDK, command-line interface, and API touchpoints, Keychain Core readily integrates into existing and new applications, on-prem and hosted environments, and online and offline scenarios. This affords you the freedom to separate data security concerns from IT architecture.

Keychain is the most comprehensive Zero Trust framework available.

Whereas most vendors cut corners to get to market faster, Keychain did the work to provide you with the most comprehensive, one-stop, decentralized framework available. Great team leads demand the best tools available for their teams.

We’ve done the hard part, so you don’t have to.

Remember the good old days when managing data security and digital certificates across a diverse range of devices was safe, easy, and fun?

Ya, neither do we.
