Trust by Design, Not by Promise.
Most platforms ask you to trust their founders, their employees, and their promises. Kintity was engineered by veteran security professionals to fundamentally eliminate the need for trust — we operate as a faceless, Zero-Knowledge entity because we believe in Trustless Architecture.
Absolute Zero-Knowledge Architecture
When we say "Zero-Knowledge," we mean it literally. We do not hold the keys to your vault.
- Client-Side EncryptionAll vault records are encrypted locally on your device before they ever travel over the internet to our servers. The plaintext of your vault contents never exists anywhere outside of your own device.
- Military-Grade StandardWe use the AES-256-GCM encryption algorithm—the exact standard required by global financial institutions and defense agencies worldwide.
- Ciphertext OnlyIf our database is ever breached, or if a government entity subpoenas our records, the vault payloads themselves would be nothing but mathematically scrambled, useless ciphertext. We cannot decrypt them.
The Kintity Guarantee: Your Master Encryption Key is generated on your device, and it never leaves your device. We cannot reset it, we cannot recover it, and we cannot read it.
Bulletproof, Passwordless Authentication
Passwords are the weakest link in modern security. We have eliminated them entirely. Accessing your Kintity vault requires proving you are exactly who you say you are through passkeys and additional verification for sensitive actions.
- Passkey-First LoginYour primary sign-in method is a passkey — fingerprint, face, or device PIN — bound to your physical device via the WebAuthn standard. No passwords to steal, phish, or reuse.
- Verification Code for Sensitive ActionsSensitive operations like editing beneficiaries or triggering a release require an additional verification code from your authenticator app, providing a second factor that cannot be phished remotely.
- Recovery CodesIf you lose your devices, your account can be recovered using recovery codes generated during onboarding. Store them offline in a physically secure location.
Transparent Verification
We do not ask you to simply take our word for it. We provide the tools for independent, external verification.
- Open-Source CryptographyThe code responsible for encrypting and decrypting your payloads is open-source. Any developer, security researcher, or auditor can inspect our client-side logic to independently verify that your keys never leave your browser.
- Strict Access ControlsGranular permissions ensure that even your designated beneficiaries cannot see the existence of a record until the exact conditions of your protocol—a verified life event or time-lock—are met.
The Kintity Continuity Plan
A platform designed to outlast you must have a plan to outlast itself. If Kintity as a corporate entity ever ceases operations, your data will not simply vanish.
- Pre-Funded InfrastructureKintity's core storage infrastructure operates on pre-funded, rolling contracts designed to ensure uninterrupted uptime regardless of corporate revenue or ownership changes.
- The Escrow ReleaseIn the event of a total corporate shutdown, an automated protocol is triggered. Your encrypted payloads are automatically transmitted to your registered addresses, allowing you to decrypt them locally using your Master Key. Your data always belongs to you.
