# About Lokblok

> Lokblok is a European deep-tech company building the cryptographic infrastructure for an era in which stored secrets are no longer acceptable.

## Mission

Eliminate the stored private key — the single component responsible for the majority of catastrophic cryptographic breaches across finance, custody, identity, and critical infrastructure.

## Position

Lokblok is a research-led product company. The technology originates from work on threshold cryptography, hardware-bound key reconstruction, and ephemeral key lifecycle management. The result is the Phantom Secrets™ protocol: a way to use private keys without ever storing them.

## How Lokblok Engages

- **Direct enterprise deployment** — for institutions running their own custody, identity, or signing infrastructure.
- **OEM and HSM partnerships** — Phantom Secrets™ is embedded inside HSMs, secure elements, SIMs, eUICC, and mobile secure enclaves.
- **Sovereign and regulated programmes** — for governments and regulated entities that require keys to be unreconstructable outside hardware they control.
