The NFC tag market landscape has been shaped predominantly by solutions leveraging symmetric cryptography like AES or, in some instances, forgoing cryptographic security altogether, simply encoding URLs. These products are sufficient for a broad range of applications, yet there are scenarios where enhanced security and user experience necessitate the implementation of advanced cryptographic algorithms (authentication, certification of authenticity, self-sovereign ID).
Enter Elerium, our NFC tag utilising Dilithium signatures — a quantum-resistant cryptographic protocol. Dilithium signatures enable a robust authentication process akin to that of RSA/ECC but with the added assurance against quantum computing threats.
Dilithium Signature Authentication
The Elerium tag authenticates via a challenge-response protocol, a method explained below:
1. React Native app generates random 256-bit challenge
2. Tag signs incoming challenge with on-chip private key
3. React Native app verifies the challenge with the tag's public key as authentic
This quantum-resistant verification scheme provides a multitude of benefits over traditional symmetric cipher-based authentication (e.g., AES). The primary advantage is that the verifying party (smartphone in this case) does not need to store any secret keys, whereas AES authentication would necessitate having identical keys on both the NFC tag and the reader device or alternatively, on a server which becomes a central point of failure.
In essence, current NFC tag's secret keys are stored on a server or reader, which if hackers gain access to, all tags registered thereunder are under attack. With Elerium, no secret data is exchanged making it inherently secure.
What YOU can do with Elerium:
- develop your own cold wallet for blockchain use-cases
- authenticate high value goods
- use as NFC 2FA solution

just stumbled upon this, is beechat better than meshtastic? is it open source?

We’re building something wildly different. We’re building radio devices with 10x performance compared to LoRa/Meshtastic. This allows true Internet-like speeds over radio networks rather than just texting.
Forwarded from Beechat Network
The reason we’re building this is a couple of years ago we used the supposed “best” radios to in the market to make a communication device and we were really disappointed by the performance. We took a step back and realised many others were having this issue too. Most IoT radios simply do not have the throughput needed for modern applications like live audio/video/file sharing. So we decided to tackle that challenge head on.

WATCH: Last weekend we presented the Beechat Rune device for the very first time, as part of the Volla Community days in Germany. Featuring 4 simultaneous streams, capable of audio and video streams with next-gen CRYSTALS cryptography, the Beechat Rune is a perfect addition to privacy-focused systems.

Novel work by our team: an NFC tag system which upon tapping, returns a random number signed by a private key contained in secure storage within the NFC tag and the random number as a parameter in a URL.
What this allows: a server which holds the corresponding public key can verify a user has tapped an NFC tag and it cannot be faked.
Use cases: self-sovereign decentralised payments, proof of attendance without centralised points of failure and more.
Breaking new grounds in cryptography. 🔐

Our soon to release Kaonic radio module's combination of high sensitivity and MR-OFDM modulation provides significant advantages over comparable radios at similar data rates, offering:
- 200-300% increased range over radios like XBee.
- Up to 1.5-2 km in urban environments, improving by roughly 50% over others.
- Better object penetration by 30-50% due to its enhanced link budget and multipath protection.
