Inside the product
Four cryptographic primitives, deployed fast
Built on DKIM and DNS infrastructure you already trust.
Authority Anchors
Establish who holds authority to act using domain-based keys distributed via DNS.
Trust Packets
Self-contained, non-replayable authorization proofs signed by device keys and verified in milliseconds.
Authorization Certificates
Hash-chained records of transaction sequences. Modify any step and the entire chain breaks.
Authorization Ledgers
Distributed, append-only records each party maintains independently. Permanent audit infrastructure by default.
Why now
Identity checks verify who. They don't verify what.
Stolen credentials pass identity checks because current systems never prove the action was authorized. UniKey fixes this gap in days.
The old way
- ×$442B in global fraud losses in 2025
- ×80%+ of data breaches start with stolen credentials
- ×Fraud detection analyzes patterns after the transaction
- ×AI agents lack infrastructure to act autonomously
The UniKey way
- ✓Every action requires a signed Trust Packet before execution
- ✓Stolen credentials cannot produce a valid authorization proof
- ✓Verification happens in milliseconds via DNS lookup
- ✓AI agents get the authorization layer they need to operate
Process
Deploy action authorization in three steps
A simple route from setup to steady output.
Establish authority anchors
Publish public keys via DNS records tied to your domain, similar to DKIM setup.
Sign Trust Packets
Originating devices sign a Trust Packet for each action using a private key in the Secure Enclave.
Verify in milliseconds
Verifiers perform a DNS lookup to retrieve the public key and validate the signature before execution.

Common questions about UniKey Protocol
What is UniKey Protocol and what problem does it solve?+
UniKey Protocol is the distributed authorization layer for the internet. It solves a fundamental gap: the internet was built to move information but never built to prove authority. Current systems verify WHO is acting, but UniKey verifies that the SPECIFIC ACTION was authorized before it executes. This eliminates scalable credential-based fraud.
How does UniKey Protocol technically work?+
UniKey operates through four cryptographic primitives. Authority Anchors establish who holds authority via domain-based keys. Trust Packets are per-action authorization proofs signed by devices and verified via DNS. Authorization Certificates chain these packets using hashes. Authorization Ledgers provide distributed, append-only records for permanent audit trails.
How is UniKey different from existing identity and fraud prevention systems?+
UniKey operates at a layer identity and fraud systems do not address. Identity systems verify who is acting. Fraud detection analyzes patterns after or during a transaction. UniKey verifies the specific action was authorized before execution. It does not detect fraud - it makes scalable credential-based fraud structurally impossible.
