IriKey, empowered by IriTech’s patented iris recognition algorithm which was proven superior in independent U.S. and India government testing, is the first product to be released by joint venture, IriSafe. IriKey is a breakthrough hardware wallet that utilizes IriTech’s technology to lock a seed/key with the user’s iris data. The resulting so-called “locked seed” can be stored anywhere most convenient to the user (email, cloud, laptop, smartphone, etc.). In the rare chance hackers gain access to the locked seed, they still cannot retrieve the original seed (and thus the keys) without the live irises of the owner. Other hardware wallets use seed phrases as restore mechanisms that are very inconvenient and still vulnerable to security breaches. IriKey users can easily recover their assets with their locked seed and iris scan, in the event the device is lost, broken or stolen.
