Intellectual Property
A new class of security, protected by design.
Most security systems fail because they store secrets. Our patented architecture removes that assumption entirely. Instead of protecting secrets, we eliminate them.
Core Patent
The foundational IP.
U.S. Patent No. 12,438,716 B2
Issued October 7, 2025
This patent covers the foundational architecture behind Phantom Secrets™ and the Regen Token system: a new approach to cryptographic security where secrets are never stored at rest, no party ever holds a complete key at rest — the key exists only ephemerally inside certified hardware during an authorised operation — and reconstruction occurs only when authorised.
ISSUED & ACTIVE
Unlike traditional systems, which rely on protecting stored keys, Lokblok removes the need to store them at all. This is not an incremental improvement on key management. It is a shift from protecting secrets to eliminating them entirely.
What Makes It Patent-Worthy
Five innovations in one architecture.
Most cryptographic systems reuse the same core ideas: store the key, split the key, lock the key in hardware. Lokblok takes a different approach at every layer.
No Persistent Secrets
Removes the stored-key vector behind database breaches, insider theft, and backup compromise.
Public, Non-Sensitive Recovery Data
Regen Tokens are authorisation signals, not secret material. Even full exposure exposes nothing.
Non-Custodial Recovery
No agent holds a stored share, and no quorum of agents can act outside policy: reconstruction still requires the gateway's policy checks and, where configured, an independent unblinding service.
Ephemeral Reconstruction in Hardware
Secrets exist only during use, then disappear without a trace.
Policy-Enforced Cryptography
Governance without custody. Delegation without exposure. Recovery without custodial trust — no party must be trusted with a stored share.
Why This Matters
From "how do we protect keys?" to "who should be allowed to act?"
Most breaches happen because secrets exist somewhere. In databases, in backups, in memory, in people's heads. Lokblok removes that attack surface entirely. The question becomes a governance problem, not a security problem.
TRADITIONAL QUESTION
"How do we protect keys?"
An arms race against attackers who grow more capable every year. The target always exists. Eventually, someone gets to it.
LOKBLOK QUESTION
"Who should be allowed to act, and when?"
A governance problem. Much easier. The target no longer exists. No stored key means no target for theft at rest.

Digital asset & CBDC
With an issued U.S. patent and broad PCT coverage internationally, Lokblok sets a new benchmark for zero-persistence, zero-trust cryptographic systems. This IP foundation ensures that the Phantom Secrets™ ecosystem remains globally protected and uniquely positioned to secure the next generation of digital identity and authentication.
The Bottom Line
Most companies build better locks.
We removed the thing worth stealing.
If that sounds unfair, it is. Complete patent documentation including numbers, filing dates, and jurisdictions is available to verified investors, partners, and legal teams.
