What We Do
V-Key is a global leader in software based digital security, and is the inventor of V-OS, the world's first virtual secure element. FIPS 140-2 Validated and accredited by IMDA, V-Key's Security, Authorization, and Verification solutions are used widely across banking and government mobile and digital platforms across the region. ★ The World's First Deployed by top banks, mobile payment providers, and governments globally, V-OS is the world’s first virtual secure element. With V-OS as a strong security base, V-Key is able to provide a complete mobile application security for any mobile application. Our solutions allow businesses to roll out cloud-based payments, trusted authentication for mobile banking, and other secured mobile applications for user data protection without the need to use any form of hardware secure elements. After all, software security is the new hardware. ★ Certified Cryptography Using a FIPS 140-2 certified module for cryptographic assurance, our solutions have been accredited and accepted by multiple government agencies and regulatory bodies globally. The hardened V-OS virtual machine has been proven in multiple penetration tests to be able to withstand many classes of hacking attacks that are rarely protected against – challenging security standards previously held by hardware tokens. This allows our customers to easily comply with stringent regulatory requirements and other security requirements of cloud-based payments and mobile transactions. ★ Patented Protections V-OS has been architected and developed like a hardware encryptor in order to provide military-grade protection for your mobile app. Traditional tamper-protection relies on techniques such as code obfuscation, whitebox cryptography, and anti-tampering / anti-debugging mechanisms. V-Key tightly integrates these best-of-breed techniques into the V-OS virtual machine in a groundbreaking manner in order to create a reinforcing system of protection.
