The same technology that gives us wireless earbuds and allows our phones to connect wirelessly to all manner of devices, is now helping build a more secure future with digital keys.

While the digital key has not reached the same level of penetration as digital payments, the technical foundation and social norm is there for the capability to gain rapid adoption.

The success of the digital key centers on providing a secure solution, increasing convenience, and overcoming current pain points such as multiple and lost physical keys, and lack of sharing options.

Since we carry our smartphone with us everywhere, and Bluetooth is built into every single smartphone, why not use this every-day device to act as our digital key while adding more convenience, features and improvements beyond the physical key.

Digital key makes for simple and secure access control.

While the current momentum for digital keys is in the automotive industry, the benefits of a digital key, over a physical key, can and will apply to many use cases in our daily lives.
