More Information

The Apex 2 Mini is a patent pending subdermal security key from VivoKey Technologies enabling always available, fully autonomous separation of cryptographic functions from vulnerable general computing platforms such as your smartphone or computer. The ability to carry your OTP authenticator, PGP, and other cryptographic keys, and perform cryptographic functions all in vivo (generate OTP codes, encrypt & decrypt data, etc.) without ever revealing private keys to the NFC interface you are interacting with is a huge step forward for personal digital identity and data security.

Kit Contents

  • 1 sterile injector assembly, pre-loaded with a VivoKey Apex tag
  • 2 single use ChloraPrep antiseptic wipes
  • 1 sterile gauze pad for post-injection wound care
  • 1 sterile expandable-fabric adhesive bandage
  • 1 pair of non-sterile, non-latex procedure gloves

The Apex 2 Mini kit contains the Apex pre-loaded inside the injector assembly, and all the sterile procedure materials required to perform installation. The device is encased in biologically safe 3x28mm cylindrical bioresin. The bioresin cylinder is tested for function before loading into the injector assembly, and the whole injector assembly with the Apex inside is EO gas sterilized.

Use of your Apex 2 Mini

Once you have your Apex 2 Mini installed, installed, grab your smartphone. Install the VivoKey Apex Manager app and the Fidesmo app. Open the Fidesmo app, scan your Apex and you will see a list of supported applets you can deploy to your Apex. Applets are available from multiple vendors on the Fidesmo platform, and VivoKey also publishes their own applets such as our OTP applet and NFC Sharing applet.

VivoKey Applets

VivoKey has created a number of applets to run on your Apex implant! Here are some links;

• OTP Authenticator – This One Time Password applet replaces many two-factor Authenticator applications that store and generate OTP codes on the phone itself, making them vulnerable to loss, theft, etc. With the OTP applet running on your Apex, you only have to install Apex Manager on ANY smartphone to generate and display your OTP Authenticator codes, without risk of compromising your security.

• Tesla Keycard – Once installed, you can register your Apex as a keycard with your Tesla 3, Y, X*, S* and use it to get in and drive away. *2021 or later Model X and S only.

• NFC Share – You can easily share data with people with a simple tap of their smartphone to your Apex! You can share things like URLs, vCard digital business cards, or even raw binary or text data. Available data sizes range from 1kB to 32kB!

Other applets like U2F, FIDO2, and PGP are also available! Check out the complete list at vivokey.com/apex.
