Apex Security
Apex secure element
The Apex family of VivoKey products are built using a contactless secure element microchip. As the name implies, secure elements use “secure by design” principles. They are used in smart cards, passports, payment cards, and similar security products. Apex secure elements pass critical certifications like Common Criteria EAL 6+ required for government high security credentials.

Apex products include wearable solutions like bracelets and rings, as well as subdermal devices for the ultimate in frictionless digital identity and security management.
