Next Generation Cryptobionics

The VivoKey Spark is a product designed and manufactured by VivoKey Technologies, makers of the only cryptobionic implants capable of performing strong cryptographic functions in vivo. The Spark is ISO15693 and NFC Type 5 compliant, readable by all NFC reader devices including all NFC capable smartphones and USB readers that are capable of reading ISO15693 chips. The Spark is plug and play! There is nothing to program, and it is cryptographically secure. It works with the VivoKey mobile app to configure scan behavior and expand your capabilities as an augmented human.

Unlike other NFC chip implants, the VivoKey Spark is not a simple NFC chip, it is a secure link to the future. With the Spark, you aren’t just upgrading yourself, you are becoming part of the most advanced cryptobionic community in the world and your new digital capabilities will keep expanding as the VivoKey platform grows. Welcome to the future.

AES Encryption

How/where are x-series chips installed?

The Spark is typically installed into the webbing between the metacarpal bones of the index finger and thumb, resting parallel to the index metacarpal. The reason they are installed in the hand has to do with the extremely short read range of chips implants like the Spark, and the typical use case being some form of access control where the chip must be presented to a fixed reader of some kind. The suggested placement within the hand was chosen due to the lack of major nerve bundles or blood vessels running through that area.

Achieving a safe installation definitely requires a steady hand and experience performing aseptic procedures.
