Secure identity. Open compute.
We develop secure identity hardware, software and infrastructure for people and organizations that want to stay in control of their digital lives.
01 / Protect your identity
02 / Own your technology
03 / Build with confidence
What we do
Our work brings hardware, software and engineering together around a simple goal: giving people greater ownership of the technology they depend on.
We’re developing dedicated hardware and software to protect the credentials behind personal, organizational and machine identities. Ownership and security belong at the heart of the experience.
We build software and infrastructure that bring your essential digital services under your control, with an emphasis on independence, clarity and long-term maintainability.
We work across hardware and software to solve difficult engineering problems. We welcome partners who want to develop useful products and strengthen the foundations others build on.
Why Patronage
More of our lives depend on technology. We believe that should bring greater freedom, choice and opportunity.
Your identity, your information and your ability to choose matter. We build toward a future where people and organizations can take an active role in their own digital security.
Open designs and independent review make room for better questions and stronger answers. We value engineering that people can examine, understand and challenge.
Good tools give people confidence. We aim to make capable technology practical to use and straightforward to own.
Developers, researchers and maintainers make progress possible. Supporting the people behind open technology is part of building an ecosystem that lasts.
Who it’s for
From personal identity to organizations and autonomous systems, our focus is the same: helping technology serve the people who rely on it.
For individuals
Greater confidence in how your identity is protected, and more choice in the technology you trust with it.
For organizations
Greater ownership of sensitive information and the essential systems your teams depend on, with room to adapt as your needs change.
For an autonomous future
As software takes on more responsibility, human and machine identity becomes more important. We’re building with that future in mind.
