Biometric Hardware Security Key

Boop Secure transforms your palm into a hardware security key for authentication and cryptographic operations. Use it like a YubiKey for desktop authentication or as a secure signer for cryptocurrency wallets - no physical device to lose or forget.

Desktop Authentication

  • Replace passwords and 2FA codes
  • Works with any FIDO2/WebAuthn service
  • No physical key to lose or forget
  • Instant authentication with palm scan

Crypto Wallet Signing

  • Sign transactions with your palm
  • Multi-signature wallet support
  • Works with major blockchains
  • Air-gapped security option

How Boop Secure Works

Connect Scanner

Plug boop scanner into your computer via USB-C

Register Palm

One-time registration links your palm to your accounts

Authenticate Instantly

Scan palm to login or sign transactions

Stay Secure

Biometric data never leaves the device in offline mode

Transaction Signing Flow

// Example: Sign Ethereum transaction
const transaction = {
  to: '0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb7',
  value: ethers.utils.parseEther('1.0'),
  gasLimit: 21000,
  nonce: await wallet.getTransactionCount()
};

// Prompt for palm scan
const signature = await boopSecure.signTransaction(transaction);
// [User scans palm to authorize]

// Broadcast signed transaction
const tx = await provider.sendTransaction(signature);

Multi-Signature Support

Perfect for:
  • DAOs: Collective treasury management
  • Corporate wallets: Multiple approvers
  • Family accounts: Shared custody
  • Escrow services: Trustless transactions

Offline Mode (Air-Gapped)

Technical Implementation

Offline mode completely disconnects from boop cloud. Once enabled, the device operates independently using local fuzzy extraction.

Fuzzy Extractor Technology

The fuzzy extractor converts your palm biometric into a cryptographic key:
  1. Feature Extraction: Palm vein pattern converted to feature vector
  2. Error Correction: Handles minor biometric variations
  3. Key Generation: Deterministic key derived from biometric
  4. Local Storage: Encrypted helper data stored on device
  5. Zero Knowledge: No biometric information in helper data

# Provision new user
user = admin.create_user(
    email="[email protected]",
    role="developer",
    policies=["2fa_required", "workspace_access"]
)

# Monitor authentication events
events = admin.get_auth_events(
    user_id=user.id,
    start_date="2024-01-01"
)

# Revoke access instantly
admin.revoke_user(user.id, reason="offboarding")

Frequently Asked Questions

Palm vein patterns are internal biometrics that can’t be copied from surfaces you touch. They’re more secure and work regardless of skin condition, cuts, or dirt.
The scanner itself stores no data. In online mode, you can instantly revoke access and use a new scanner. In offline mode, physical possession is required for access.
Yes, you can register both palms as backup authentication methods. Some users also set up different palms for different security levels.
No, the fuzzy extractor is a one-way function. The cryptographic keys cannot be reversed to recover your biometric data.
Boop Secure uses quantum-resistant algorithms for key generation. Your authentication remains secure against future quantum computers.
