A Plural System, New to Implants

That’s the goal, but sadly most of your usecases would require big players to acknoledge implantees.
E.g. passports, drivers licences, health insurance etc would all need officials to work with VivoKey and/or Fidesmo.
I have hopes for it though :slight_smile: once it’s out it requires us cyborgs to spam the officials with requests for it!

No. Once the apex drops, it will be the most versatile implant.
Only “work access” might prove difficult as they might not be able to work as you do not control the reader (you might need to get another chip for that, depends on the system used.)
Payment is also unlikely to be possible in the near future, but it might work with the Apex some day, so yeah maybe.

Many of the usecases you listed could be done without the Apex even, let me reduce the list.

  • Emergency / Medical Information - DID information card, list of our disorders, list of our medications (KINDA, if you just put the text on the NFC chip?)
  • Payment Card - debit card, PayPal, crypto-wallet (NO, but check out payment conversions)
  • House Access (YES, if you buy new locks)
  • Work Access (MAYBE, most likely NO, I’ll get to that later)
  • Vehicle Access (YES, if you mod your vehicle)
  • 2FA for Passwords (KINDA, typing first part of password, then scanning chip with the KBR1 to complete the password, I call it pseudo-2FA)
  • Password storage (NO… well KINDA, you could store some encrypted passwords outside of the NDEF records of a NFC chip and read them with custom software)
  • electronic access for phone, computer, etc (KINDA, YES for PCs, NO for phones)

All others are NO, or NOT YET, for the reason stated above.

Work Access: If you scan your work badge with “TagInfo” we might be able to tell you more about that specific use case. It might actually work with an apex, but it also might require another chip e.g. xEM or xM1 or just wont work at all.

I was really vague with most descriptions, just ask for more info if you need it :slight_smile:

You could get a good chunk of your usecases done with multiple implants, one of them being the Apex.
A NExT could cover (almost) everything I listed above.
