NLE, TOMORROW’S KEY, TODAY
Because electronics are everywhere, NLE protects all electronic systems against theft, piracy and intrusion. Thanks to its physical key and secure electronic box (international patents), NLE combines mechanical robustness with advanced cryptography. Virtually unbreakable, it resists brute-force attacks and is suitable for a wide range of applications: defense, mobility, IT, buildings, etc.

NLE physically secures access to critical systems through tamper-proof, offline two-factor authentication:
- A unique metal key, impossible to guess by studying the “lock
- An encrypted microcontroller, which takes a very long time to “bruteforge” (several decades or even hundreds of years)
NLE can be integrated into all critical environments (civil or military):
- Vehicles, drones, servers, buildings, infrastructures, data centers, crypto wallets…
- Compatible with other technologies: RFID, NFC, keypads, biometric readers, etc.
- For use alone or in privileged tree structures, directly or with relay controlled by encrypted link
Behind its high level of safety, NLE conceals a sleek design and masterful manufacturing:
- Easy to produce, economical, compatible with machining or injection molding
- Ultra-robust (cycles, shocks, oxidation, temperature)
- Customizable design: standard, premium (precious metals, etc.) and military versions (frosted, fire-resistant, etc.)
- Reassuring, obvious, playful user experience (initial reactions from testers)
NLE adapts to your equipment
The NLE system can be easily integrated into any environment, thanks to its modular design. Rectangular for IT applications (computers, external storage, cold wallets, etc.), the cylindrical shape is particularly well-suited to replacing “contact keys” in original equipment or retrofit applications, without altering the design or customer experience.
OPERATION PRINCIPLES
The key has insulating and conductive zones, forming a digital code. These zones are visually indistinguishable. The box has electrical contacts opposite these zones and recognizes the code, which is then processed, transformed and sent encrypted via a secure element.

security and resistance to attack
Several decades would be needed for brute-force attacks.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE
MOBILITY
- Optimum vehicle safety: Prevents the use of private or professional vehicles, thermal or electric, heavy or light.
- Controlled cost: high-level technology at a price compatible with the sector’s tight margins. Replaces ignition and immobilizer.
- Physical key: Prevents hacking of electronic systems via relays, cloning or OBD plugs.
- Outage and jamming resistant: Operates without network, battery or radio signal, making it immune to jammers or interference.
- Rapid installation: Easy integration into power controllers, for example, without major electronic redesign.
- Ideal for shared fleets: Allows fine control of access rights (driver, maintenance, supervisor).
- Robustness and simplicity: withstands street conditions (dust, shocks, humidity) while remaining simple to use.
BANKING
- Affordable: Offers high-level security at a fraction of the cost of complex electronic solutions.
- Unique hybrid system: Combines passive mechanics and electronics, preventing hacking.
Immune to electrical failure. - Simplified installation: Easy integration with existing systems, without the need for a complex overhaul of the security infrastructure.
- High reliability: Designed to withstand any electronic hacking attempt, guaranteeing superior security at reduced cost.
MILITARY
- Unalterable physical security: Resistant to electronic attacks, while offering a mechanical key that’s virtually impossible to bypass.
- Cost-effective: Reduced cost compared to heavy electronic systems, while ensuring optimum protection.
- Field-proven: Suitable for extreme environments.
- No need for upgrades: A passive mechanical system that requires no costly maintenance or regular upgrades.
- Ease of use: Easy to handle in stressful situations, with no risk of technological failure.
Very low power consumption: <5µA standby and <15µA active.
infrastructures
- Protection in the event of technological failure: Operates independently of cyber-attacks and network failures.
- Highly competitive cost: At a fraction of the cost of high-end electronic solutions, while offering an equivalent or even higher level of security.
- Reduced risk of hacking: Impossible to hack remotely or through electronic attacks, unlike vulnerable digital systems.
- Ease of maintenance: No electronic components susceptible to wear or attack, so lower long-term costs.
- Versatility: Can be used in large-scale installations where electronic solutions may be costly or complex to deploy.
- Possible key tree with privilege management and access control with the addition of complementary technologies (RFID, NFC, PIN…).
