About Lokblok®
We're eliminating the problem that causes every breach.
Lokblok® was founded with one mission: remove stored cryptographic secrets from the equation entirely. Phantom Secrets™ is the result: the first genuinely novel approach to key management in a generation.
Our Mission
Pioneers the future of digital security with Phantom Secrets™.
Lokblok pioneers the future of digital security with patented technologies that eliminate barriers to robust security, empowering all to thrive without risk.
We believe that security should be achieved by removing attack surfaces, not by building increasingly complex defenses around them. Phantom Secrets is the expression of that belief in cryptographic form.
Our team includes cryptographers, security researchers, hardware engineers, and enterprise security veterans who have spent careers studying why security systems fail. The answer, invariably, comes back to stored secrets.
Our Values
Trust
Everything we build is designed to be trustless by default. Cryptographic proof, not promises.
Security
Security through elimination, not protection. We remove attack surfaces rather than defend them.
Simplicity
The most secure systems are the ones that are simple enough to understand and verify.
Transparency
Our protocols are open to audit. Security through obscurity is not security.
Our Team
The people behind the protocol.
Pedigree: Our CEO helped secure the infrastructure behind the first commercial certificate authority, CertCo, built for Visa and Mastercard's SET payment protocol, running split-key cryptography on SPYRUS EES LYNKS hardware (FIPS 140-1 Level 2).
In 1996, that system was reviewed by cryptographer Paul Kocher, two years before his research on differential power analysis would define an entire field of hardware security attacks.
Our team has also built the first HSMs certified to FIPS 140, the first secure email protocol on HSMs, and the first security platform to protect a western power grid.
