The Process

Embed. Tap. Verify.

Three steps. A minimal, production-grade process that integrates into existing manufacturing, issuance, and verification workflows without disrupting operations.

Step One

Embed

A TrueTap-provisioned NFC chip is embedded into the physical item at the point of manufacture or issuance. Each chip is individually provisioned with a unique cryptographic identity tied to the item's record in the TrueTap platform.

  • Chips provisioned at secure TrueTap facility or certified partner site
  • Available as standalone chips, adhesive labels, or embedded inlays
  • Works with standard NFC readers — no proprietary hardware at embed point
  • Item record registered to platform at time of provisioning

Step Two

Tap

Any NFC-enabled smartphone or authorised reader taps the item. No dedicated hardware required for consumer-facing scenarios. The tap initiates a secure cryptographic challenge-response exchange between chip and verification engine.

  • Works with any iOS 13+ or Android 4.4+ NFC-enabled device
  • Consumer verification via browser-based flow — no app download required
  • Enterprise and government readers for high-throughput environments
  • Cryptographic nonce generated per tap — every event is unique
Step Three

Verify

Within milliseconds, the TrueTap platform returns a cryptographically verified result — authenticated, tampered, or unknown. Results are logged, auditable, and available via API for downstream workflows.

  • Sub-200ms verification latency globally
  • Three clear result states: Authenticated / Tampered / Unknown
  • All events logged with timestamp, location, device context
  • API webhook support for real-time downstream integration

Integration

Fits your existing workflow

TrueTap is designed to slot into your manufacturing, issuance, or verification processes without requiring wholesale operational change.

Manufacturing

Chip embedding can be integrated into existing production line tooling. Bulk provisioning APIs enable high-throughput chip personalisation at factory scale.

Issuance Systems

For credential and document programmes, TrueTap integrates with existing card personalisation and document issuance systems via our Issuance API.

Verification Endpoints

The Verification API returns structured JSON results — designed for simple integration into existing back-office, CRM, or compliance management systems.
