Adversaries utilize spyware software to gain access to a device’s audio and visual inputs through the microphone and cameras, respectively. Additionally, some app store- approved applications listen to devices even when running in the background or not running at all.
Our device is equipped with a cutting-edge switch that disconnects the microphone and cameras at the hardware level. By seamlessly disabling these components, users can be assured that the microphone and cameras are only active when they need them to be.
Consumer-grade smartphones introduce broader functionality but that introduces serious security risks.. For example, the device sensors (accelerometer, proximity sensor, gravity field, etc.) offer convenience for users, but also are exploitable by adversaries, giving them more contextual user information.
Users can easily spoof or disable the device’s sensors on a hardware abstraction level. This unique feature allows users to minimize their hardware attack surface through user-tailored configuration
The device has an additional switch that is configurable by the user based on their preferences. The switch allows easy access to disabling on a OS framework level device sensors such as location, Bluetooth, or all connectivity.
One of the common vector of attacks on hardware is through side-load installation of a compromised Operating System.
Without implemented integrity checks at the hardware level, the device can boot a malicious OS and compromise the user.
Our devices utilize a hardware-based device attestation system designed to prevent the device from starting if it has been rooted or jailbroken.
Fingerprint unlock methods have been introduced by smartphone manufacturers since some time ago. While offering convenience, users are rightfully suspicious of the digital protection of their fingerprints. This concern is heightened by the lack of user control over their digital data, including the inability to delete their smartphone account information from the cloud. As a result, many users opt for unlocking their devices via PIN, password, or pattern. Due to the frequency of this action (users unlock their phones over 100 times on average), many opt for simpler PINs, patterns, or passwords, which are easily brute forced by adversaries.
Our devices store the user’s fingerprint locally and never share it on the cloud. Combined with the device WIPE feature, users are guaranteed that their fingerprint data will not be accessed by any other organization. The secure fingerprint unlock allows users to set up a very complex password and unlock the phone with a single touch on the fingerprint sensor.
