More Information

The Apex Ring is a wearable 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.

Use of your Apex Ring

Once you have your Apex Ring, 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! 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.
