An iPhone and top secure messaging apps are a blessing to protect ordinary citizens from mass surveillance and targeted hacking by small and mid-level hackers. Yet, even a secured iPhone can be undetectably hacked by dozens of actors, and those renting their services, and apps cannot be more secure than the device they run on.
This leaves hundreds of thousands of law-abiding journalists, activists, politicians, top executives wealthy individuals, and family offices - and their close business and personal associates - vulnerable to illegal undetectable hacking by criminals, adversaries, and states.
We are therefore building the first ultra-secure messaging and social computing platform, around an ultra-secure cloud, and a 2mm-thin personal computer that you and your close associates will carry embedded in stylish custom leather wallets.
We ensure previously unimagined levels of privacy and security - and a transparent in-person solution to the need for legitimate and lawful access - via an uncompromising zero-trust approach down to CPU design, chip fabrication oversight, and data room access, as validated by a highly democratic and resilient Trustless Computing Certification Body, being promoted by our non-profit arm.
Initially reserved for clients and executive staff of private banks, family offices, UHNWIs and enterprises, it seamlessly enables ultra-secure messaging, social networking, transactions, and dozens of 3rd-party apps. You can communicate and network with freedom and peace of mind with your close family, personal, business associates, as well as sign contracts, and engage in e-banking, and more with dozens of third-party apps.
A minimal code base, UI and features enable a stylish, lean and fast user experience,whilst enabling independent code security reviews, providing true assurance of its integrity and security.
Messaging, Social & Networking
Ultra-private one-to-one and group messaging, networking and discussion groups, in isolated professional or social virtual spaces. Be part of the most exclusive and private online social network.
Private e-Banking
Enables our partnering global private banks to replace their clients (and employees) hardware authentication devices, bank/credit cards, and mobile apps with a single 2mm-thin personal computer. It provides full e-banking access, direct payments, physical facility access, multi-factor authentication, as well as new financial apps and services that are currently not offered digitally for their security and confidentiality needs.
Collaborative Text Editing
Ultra-secure and confidential collaborative text editing to negotiate sensitive agreements and digitally sign them in compliance with the highest legal standards, including eIDAS Qualified and the upcoming Swiss eID LoT3.
Seevik App Store
Anyone will be able to submit an app to the Seevik App Store using our minimal SDK, as long as it is approved for security by the Trustless Computing Certification Body. Password manager, personal journal, cryptocurrency wallet are just some of the apps that will be available. An ultra-secure e-health tracker and assistant will leverage extensive behavioural biometric that data that is continuously saved (only on device)
All hardware, software and firmware , that are integrity or confidentiality critical, are publicly inspectable in their source designs without NDA, while maximizing free/open source licensing.
Subject to highly-resilient oversight, including offline citizen-witness for fabrication oversight, and citizen-jury for hosting room, to safeguard versus insider threats, data recovery and abuse of in-person lawful access.
Subject to extreme security-review relative to complexity, down to the CPU design, chip fabrication oversight, hosting rooms, and anonymization networks - by highly-proficient and “ethically-aligned” experts.
Certified by a new highly accountable and expert Trustless Computing Certification Body, being established by the NGO from which we spun-off next June 24th in Geneva during its 8th Edition of our Free and Safe in Cyberspace. It will apply Trustless Computing Paradigms to ensure the above 3 principles and more
For optimal ergonomics and portability, Seevik Pod users will carry it in a custom leather wallets add-on hand-crafted leather woven into carbon fiber. It will hold the Pod, up to 6 cards/ IDs and 15 cash bills, and 10 coins With RFID blocking. It also comes in 20 different styles for all tastes.
Once market-proven with 10.000 units, the Seevik Pod will be embedded in the back of a 5.5mm-thin top-end Android smartphone, made with a partner, while maintaining completely separate supply chains until the last weeks of assembly, for utmost security levels.
