View through AR glasses into a dark office tower lobby, with a route drawn across the floor to the security turnstiles and the elevators beyond.

Invitation only / AR access with identity sealed

Walk in verified. Leave your name out of it.

Always Encrypted works through AR glasses: a plugin for the pair you already own, or our own NINE40 security glasses. You verify your identity with us once. After that, participating buildings check a sealed credential instead of your ID, and the doors on your route open as you reach them. The building knows you're cleared. It never learns who you are.

How it works

Verify once. After that, buildings check proof, not paperwork.

Most buildings learn who you are by collecting it: a name at the desk, an ID scan, a badge photo, a visitor log that outlives the visit. We split those jobs apart. Your identity is verified one time, by us. Every building after that only gets the answer it needs.

Verify once

You complete identity verification with Always Encrypted a single time. Your record is encrypted and stays with us.

Leaves your hands: ID check, to us only

Carry a credential

Your glasses hold a signed credential that says you passed verification and which clearances you hold. No name, no photo, no ID number.

On your glasses: proof, not profile

The building asks one question

An encrypted access point asks your glasses: is this person cleared for this door, right now? The credential proves the answer without handing over the facts behind it.

Building receives: yes or no

Doors open on your route

Doors, elevators and turnstiles release as you reach them. Your glasses show the route and the next directive, so there's no desk to stop at.

You see: the next directive

At every access point

The building trusts the proof. It doesn't need your file.

Verification still happens. It just happens once, with us, instead of at every front desk you walk past.

A woman in a charcoal coat and everyday-looking smart glasses walks up to a walnut residence door as it swings open; the access reader beside it shows a small green light.

Inside a participating building

The route comes to you.

Your glasses draw the path to where you're going and show one directive at a time: the next door, the lift, the floor. Each access point along the way checks your credential as you approach and releases before you reach for the handle.

Nothing to carry beyond the glasses you already wear.

A glass office tower at night, lit floor by floor, with five numbered access layers marked from the street plaza up to the rooftop mast and the core running through its center.

The Onion Protocol

Five layers. Each one harder to reach.

A credential opens only the layers it's cleared for. The building enforces every boundary without needing a name to do it.

01 / Civil
Public areas
Plaza, lobby and reception. Open to anyone, with the route starting here.
02 / Defense
Restricted zones
Private floors and residences, opened only for credentials cleared for them.
03 / Services
Emergency access
Stairwells, service routes and responder paths, kept separate from guest routes.
04 / Aerial
Air networks
The roof, the mast and the building's private network that the access points run on.
05 / Core
Maximum security
The innermost rooms, behind every other layer.

Private meetings

A meeting with no visitor log.

Book a room in a participating building and your guests arrive the way you do. Each one is checked for clearance to that floor and that room, and for nothing else. The building gets confirmation that everyone in the room was cleared. It doesn't get a list of who they were.

For the conversation before and after the meeting, our encrypted business communications run on Nextcloud-based infrastructure with AES-256 encryption at rest, perfect forward secrecy and multi-jurisdiction hosting. No third-party platform sits in the middle.

Watches and rings

Your watch is the key.

The same sealed credential can live on your wrist. Wear the smartwatch you already own with our plugin for Apple Watch, Wear OS or Garmin, or choose one of three dress watches that look like any fine analog watch, with the credential concealed inside the case. Prefer something smaller? A ring does the same job.

Watch plugins: in development. None is in an app store yet.
Our watches: Envoy, Chancellor and Nocturne. Rings: two men's styles, two women's.
Programmed from the Always Encrypted app on your phone.

Glasses, watch, ring

Use one, or use them together.

Each piece carries the same sealed credential, so any one of them gets you through the access points you're cleared for. Wear two or three and they share the work: the ring steers the glasses, the watch confirms on your wrist.
