Authentic by proof, not by promise

Encryption made digital interactions private. The next step: making them provably authentic.

See it in production

Vereign provides the authenticity layer that sits beneath existing infrastructure. Each organisation holds its own cryptographic identity and verifies counterparties directly — sovereign, auditable, and independent.

Consent Architecture

EHDS Article 71 made secondary-use opt-out a legal right. Article 71(8) forecloses centralized registries. DKMS is the only architecture that satisfies all five regulatory requirements — person-scoped IDs, verifiable timestamped opt-out, reversibility without re-identification, cross-controller propagation, unlinkability.

What breaks — and what becomes possible

Manual

Every cross-institutional verification in healthcare requires manual coordination — phone calls, faxes, portal logins. Direct bilateral verification eliminates the intermediary entirely.

Fragile

Banks depend on centralised trust chains for KYC and cross-institutional verification. When a single link fails, the entire chain breaks. Bilateral trust makes each verification independent and auditable.

O(n²)

39 European TSOs need 741 bilateral agreements under the current trust model. O(n) architecture means each new operator adds one relationship, not 38.

What others say

I've spent 20 years building trust infrastructure. The biggest open question was always: who guarantees trust between organisations without becoming the bottleneck — and a target? Vereign has the answer.

Urs Fischer Urs Fischer Business Development & Innovation Manager, HIN, previously CEO, SwissSign

After nearly three decades of testing security assumptions, the fundamental flaw is clear: trust models based on perimeter defense break hard at the organizational walls. Vereign makes trust verifiable at the point of interaction where it's needed most.

Built for the trust gap

Product

The infrastructure layer for verified institutional exchange

Verimesh (formerly the Stargate project) replaces centralised trust infrastructure with bilateral verification. Each organisation manages its own cryptographic identity — no certificate authority, no single point of failure. Verification is direct, scaling is O(n). The Verimesh Suite covers Mail, Data, Agent, and Edge editions, deployed as Hub, Node, or Cloud. Verimesh is in production in Swiss healthcare.

Verified delivery to any device, zero installation

SEAL — SEAL (Secure Edge Application Layer) delivers encrypted, verified messages to any recipient on any device — no software to install, no accounts to create. Content is fragmented and distributed across an encrypted swarm so no single system holds the complete message.

Perspective

Why the certificate authority model is broken

PKI and OAuth are correctly engineered for what they were designed for. They were not designed for multi-stakeholder, cross-institutional trust at scale. The Trust Architecture page explains the structural gap — and the mathematical case for why a different foundation is required.

Trust infrastructure as competitive advantage

Organisations that control their own trust infrastructure onboard partners faster, negotiate from strength, and operate across jurisdictions without third-party dependency. Dataspaces and cross-organisational workflows become viable when trust is bilateral — not brokered through a shared authority. DKMS is the Certificate Authority at the Edge: each organisation becomes its own root of trust, mapping real organisational complexity into cryptographic infrastructure. It covers not only the organisations themselves but the roles, people, and agents acting within them, and the data they exchange, with its meaning intact.
