Powered by ELAI · A new layer for digital trust

Hardware-grade identity.
Already in your wallet.

The chip in your credit card is a tamper-resistant secure element — the same class of hardware that protects passports and military credentials. We talk to it directly. No new device. No password. Just touch the card you already carry.

Open standard · ISO 7816-4 · No vendor lock-in · No telemetry

Three steps. No new hardware.

If you have a chip credit card, a debit card, or a government ID — you already have what you need.

01

Insert the chip

Any chip card with an ICC contact pad or NFC antenna works. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, PIV, CAC — they all speak the same protocol.

02

The chip responds

We send a SELECT and an INTERNAL AUTHENTICATE. Federal cards sign a fresh challenge with their on-chip private key. Civilian cards prove presence cryptographically.

03

You hold the receipt

The exchange becomes a portable ELAI hardware event — a small, verifiable record that this physical chip was present at this moment. No server stores your card data.

Civilian

Every wallet is a key ring.

Your debit card is the same secure element class that ships in military ID cards. We're the first identity layer that treats it that way.

Federal

CAC and PIV, on the open web.

For federal credentials we run a real ISO 7816-4 INTERNAL AUTHENTICATE and get back a signature. Same protocol your agency already accepts.

The wire we speak.

This is exactly what your card sees when you click "Verify." Open standard, no proprietary handshake.

For federal teams: CAC + PIV signing in the browser.

Same protocol, same hardware, same standards your agency already trusts. We're working with logistics, intelligence, and PNT customers who need identity proof outside the SIPRNet boundary. SBIR-aligned. Contact for early access.
