Always Encrypted bracelets

A bracelet that opens doors.

The Obsidian bracelet is made of polished black stone beads with a gold accent and an NFC chip built in. Tap it on a reader and the door checks your Always Encrypted key, which holds no name. It needs no battery and no app at the door. It costs $175. Allow 2 to 4 weeks for delivery.

Our bracelet

Stone on the outside, a chip within.

The Obsidian is a passive device. It opens a door on a tap, and the key on it holds no name.

How a door opens

Walk up, tap, move through.

The key tier decides how strict the check is. The card above says which tier each device carries.

01

Your key is already written

We write one NFC record with your key before it ships. It holds a random handle and device number, not your name.

02

Tap the reader

Hold it to the reader. It needs no battery and no app: the reader powers it for the moment of the tap.

03

The latch releases

The reader checks the signature, the expiry date and the revocation list, then opens. It logs a hashed device number and the time.

04

Then the network

Open the app on your phone, signed in with the same account, for the private map, pins and routes.

Delivery

Allow 2 to 4 weeks for delivery: every device is tested on our bench and loaded with your key before it ships.

Questions people ask

Do I need the app to use the bracelet?

Not at the door. A tap is enough. You write the key once from your account page or at a verification visit.

What if I lose the bracelet?

Remove it from the Devices list in your account. Readers refresh their revocation list about every 5 minutes, and the bracelet stops opening anything.

How is my name kept off the bracelet?

It holds a random account handle and a random device number. Your name, email and phone number are never on it.

Is it a real stone?

The listing describes natural polished stone beads, black hematite or black onyx. We confirm the stone on our bench before we ship.

How long until it arrives?

Allow 2 to 4 weeks. Every bracelet is tested on our bench and loaded with your key before it ships.
