01

ARM TrustZone®

A hardware feature in the CPU that splits the chip into two isolated worlds. The OS and apps live in one; keys, biometrics, and message handling live in the other. The boundary is enforced in silicon: the open side can ask the secure side for work, never see inside it.

02

Keys never leave the device.

Encryption and decryption happen exclusively on the device. Our relays move encrypted packets between devices. We never hold plaintext, session keys, or identifiers we could be compelled to hand over.

03

Hybrid PQC handshake

ML‑KEM (Kyber‑1024) for key encapsulation and ML‑DSA (Dilithium‑5) for signatures, paired with X25519 and AES‑256‑GCM. Hybrid by design. If either primitive is broken, the other still protects you.

04

Three ways to wipe.

A panic PIN entered at the lock screen triggers an immediate secure erase. A remote kill command, or an expired dead‑man timer, goes further: the battery discharges into the SoC and RAM, destroying both physically. What no longer exists cannot be recovered.

05

Panic profile

A second PIN unlocks a panic profile, indistinguishable from the real one. Hand the device over under coercion, enter that PIN, and the alternate profile opens with its own contacts, messages, and keys. From the outside, there is no way to tell which one is live.
