The evidential layer

An audit history of every action that mattered

Every decision Haven Vault makes is written into a cryptographically bound record. Each entry is sealed against the one before it, so an entry cannot be altered or removed without breaking every entry that follows. The record does not have to be trusted; it can be checked. Haven Desktop keeps the same activity record, and sealing is coming to it next.

Authorisations, refusals, tamper attempts, sessions that ended because the person walked away. Who, what, when. Where a refusal happened, the record holds an image of who was in front of the camera.

It answers the question that actually gets asked after something goes wrong: can you show me?

Why this, why now

Access was never the same as authority.

Every login method can now be stolen, faked or shared, and AI has made faking faces and voices cheap. A password tells you something got in. It doesn't tell you who.

Haven is built on a simple premise: prove the user, and keep the proof.

Continually verify the human, record every important action, and flag anything attempted without authority. Something you can count on. And a history log you can audit.

Products

One architecture, wherever the action happens

Each product uses the same two ideas, continually verify the human and keep the evidence, applied to a different place where something important gets authorised.

Haven Vault

iPhone · iPad · Mac

A private vault for photos, videos and files. It opens with your face, covers what's open when you step away, lets you share and take back, and shows you if someone else tried.

Integration layer

Bind high-value actions in your own systems to a verified person, and give your compliance, risk and support teams a record they can produce to a customer, an auditor or a regulator.

Next: verification for digital asset transactions, checking the human behind a transfer rather than only the key.

Technology

A layer above: we are not a biometric company.

Biometrics are one input, not the product. Haven combines who you are, from on-device face recognition, with how you behave while you are there: whether you are still present, still paying attention, and whether anyone else has appeared. Together they decide, continuously, whether the person in front of the device is still the one who was let in.

What Haven really produces is the record. Every key action is logged with what was done, who did it, and how that person was verified, with the evidence attached. Anything that was attempted but not authorised is flagged as a risk, graded by how sure Haven is, and kept with a picture of who was there. You can go back at any time and see exactly what happened, and when.

The architecture sits above capture and uses the strongest signal available, so it improves as sensing improves and is never tied to one vendor's hardware. The binding of a verified person to a specific action, in a record that is tamper-evident by construction, is the part that is hard to copy.

Haven's protocol stack (Dual-Authenticated Settlement, Owner-Attributed Actions, Social-Gated Biometric Recovery, Blockchain Identity Anchor and Data-Less Continual Authentication) is the subject of provisional patent applications filed with the USPTO in April 2026.

Identity plus behaviour

Face recognition on the device, combined with presence and attention, checked for as long as access lasts.

What, who and how

Each key action records what was done, by whom, and how they were verified, with the evidence.

Risk flags

Anything attempted but not authorised is flagged, graded and kept with a picture of who was there.

Evidence by construction

Each entry is sealed against the last, so the record can be checked rather than trusted. Your face measurement never leaves your device.

Who it is for

The same proof, at three different scales

People with something private

Photos, documents and accounts that should only open for you, on your phone and on the Mac you work on every day. Photos you share with someone and want to be able to take back. And a record of anyone who tried.

Enterprises

When a customer disputes an action, the honest answer today is usually a log your own systems wrote about themselves. Haven lets you show who authorised it, that it was really them, and that the record has not been altered since: evidence you can put in front of a customer, an auditor or a regulator.

Their customers

Confidence that access to their account requires them to be present, and something to point at if it ever is not, rather than being told that because the password was correct, it must have been them.

Where the boundary is

We would rather you held us to what is true

Haven's products are presence-based access control, not anti-spoofing. A convincing image of an enrolled person can sometimes satisfy recognition. When Haven cannot see natural movement, it asks for a movement a still image cannot answer. That is a deterrent, not a defence against someone with your device and a good picture of you.

This is precisely why we build the evidential layer rather than selling the wall. A system that claims it cannot be tested is making a promise nobody can keep. A system that records what happened, in a form that can be checked afterwards, is making one we can.
