Tucked safely in your wallet and protected by your biometrics, safeguard all of your passwords, IDs, credit cards, documents, and more. Pre-order yours now! 

Finis Conner, co-founder of Seagate Technology and founder of Conner Peripherals, brings you the BluStor CyberGate. A biometric cyber security solution that fully protects you in an increasingly mobile world. Secure your passwords, identity information, credit cards, important documents, and much more -- all stored safely in your wallet and fully in your control. Cyber security and protecting your personal information has never been more important as online attacks increase at an unprecedented rate. 

How does it work?

 

You will never need to remove the CyberGate card from your wallet, keeping it out of site and firmly in your control. It's like having your own secured data cloud in your pocket where it can't be hacked. What's more, you'll never need to remember a single password.

The BluStor solution comes in the smart card form factor with the CyberGate card and the GateKeeper mobile app, with four fully functional applications to get you started, all secured behind the GateKeeper.

• PassWord Vault -- securely protect all of your usernames, passwords, login details, and personal identity information
• File Vault -- safely store important documents (e.g., photos, medical records, email and other personal data)
• Credit Card Vault -- store your credit card information, and securely retrieve it when needed for online transaction.
• OTP/2FA Token Generator -- forget pin codes, and use your biometrics to generate RFC 6238 compatible security tokens for logging into supported websites.

Want more? The BluStore CyberGate solution is an Open Platform to encourage and enable developers around the world to build and market their own apps.  All backers will have access to our development tools enabling them to create an endless variety of applications and tools leveraging the BluStor CyberGate technology. The imagination is the limit!  

Also compatible with existing smart card readers

The BluStor CyberGate card is also compatible with existing ISO smart card interfaces: 7816-3 and 7816-12.  That means businesses who wish to use the CyberGate solution to replace existing smart card solutions do not need to replace their existing infrastructure. 

The BluStor solution provides unparalleled personal flexibility and capability. Forget costly wearable bands, USB dongles, and other smart card solutions with limited capabilities that can cost you over $150. Eliminate less secure cloud-based password and identity management solutions  that can have recurring charges in excess of $40 per year to store and sync your data. Don't become trapped by products that only support single biometrics, rely on bulky USB dongles, or are built upon fading mobile technology. CyberGate is an open platform built for the future and at a price point that puts you firmly back in control of your critical data.

For the developers out there, all backers will also receive early access to our Software Development Kit (SDK), sample source code, and everything you need to know to build your own applications!

What's under the hood?

We've spent years solving the technology hurdles, building the prototypes, and now we're ready to take the final step and bring it to the market.

What biometric authentication methods will we support initially?

What biometrics we support and how they are implemented is dependent on the capabilities of your mobile device. For our backer's, we will support fingerprint, facial recognition, and signature based biometric authentication.  

What mobile devices will you support?

Our initial backer's release will support mobile devices running Android (e.g., Samsung Galaxy) and iOS (e.g., iPhone, iPad, etc.).

What about stretch goals?

With your help, we have some exciting stretch goals in mind including voice authentication, an on-card fingerprint scanner, and support for Windows mobile phones.

What are the Risks?

We've invested money and countless hours making sure we've worked through all the technology issues before asking our fellow crowdfunder's to back us. 

All of the hardware components have been selected and assembled into a working prototype. The components have been mass-produced, well-tested, and used in various computer and electronic products.  The working prototype has shown us the practical feasibility of manufacturing such a highly sophisticated product in a smart card form factor.  What remains?  Funds will be used to complete the manufacturing design, finish the firmware implementation, and complete development of the end-user software -- something our founder has decades of experience doing on a large scale. 

There are always unknowns but we've put together a top-notch management and technology team that is more than up to the challenge.
