You shipped the trust. Now bill it.
Pairpoint is the trust layer inside the mobile network.
Every SIM already shares a cryptographic trust relationship with its carrier. Pairpoint unlocks that trust, transforming the mobile network into a security platform that delivers new trust services and recurring revenue for carriers.

Pairpoint unlocks the cryptographic trust already present in every SIM, eSIM and iSIM.
How it works, in full
Running inside the carrier trusted zone, Pairpoint derives trusted identities, authentication credentials and quantum-safe encryption keys, enabling continuous verification of connected devices without relying on third-party certificate infrastructure, new hardware or security overlays.
The result is a new generation of carrier-delivered trust services - from certificate-less device security and trusted identity to quantum-safe connectivity, zero-trust verification and Trust APIs. The same network-rooted trust can also secure high-value interactions such as payment transactions, AI agents and machine-to-machine communications.
For carriers, Pairpoint transforms connectivity into recurring trust and security revenue. For enterprises, it delivers stronger security, lower operating costs and a simpler alternative to deploying and managing millions of third-party digital certificates.
No new devices. No new SIMs or SIM applets. No overlays. One trust relationship. Multiple security services. Powered by the mobile network you already trust.
Pairpoint delivers
Look inside your own network.
Every SIM you have shipped already shares a secret with your core. Pairpoint turns that secret into keys only your network can derive, and a service only you can sell.
QUANTUM-SAFE AND ZERO-TRUST BY DESIGN
There is no middle to attack.
No trust broker, no external certificate authority, no key distribution to run. The long-term SIM key never leaves the SIM.
One trust foundation. Multiple new services enabled.

Harvest now, decrypt later. The recording has already started.
Todaytraffic captured
everything in here stays readable later
Q-daydate not known
The quantum threat is already here.
Traffic protected only by today's public-key cryptography can be captured now and read at Q-day. You cannot re-encrypt traffic already captured.
02 Zero-trust identity Any device can use its SIM to prove its identity.
Never trust, always verify. Every connection. Every session. All data.
- Your network asks the device to prove it is itself
- The SIM secures the device with a security key that only your network knows
- Quantum-safe encryption. Zero-trust identity. Hardware-rooted authentication.
No password to steal, no certificate to provision, no agent to maintain.
03 Sovereign trust Sovereignty is attested by your network.
Turn your network into a sovereign trust layer.
- Your core
- Your keys
- Your control plane
- Your data routing
Who owns trust? Use your network to attest the sovereignty of critical AI capabilities.

Certificate renewal against SIM-rooted trust, over a ten year device life
A device on certificates renews every year, and each renewal can fail three ways: a missed renewal, a drifted clock, or a constrained link that cannot finish the exchange. A device rooted in its SIM has nothing to renew across the same ten years.
On certificates
Ten renewals. Three ways out of trust.
Rooted in the SIM
Enrolled once.
Illustrative: one certificate renewal a year over a ten-year device life
- A missed renewal, a drifted clock, or a link too constrained to finish the exchange. Any one of them leaves a device out of trust, and none of them needs the certificate to have expired.
- A symmetric key held in the SIM has no expiry and no clock dependency, so there is no renewal to miss.
The Pairpoint Certless solution is quantum-safe by design. Quantum safety is the new Y2K.

Claim definitions and qualifiers
- Quantum-safe. Two scopes, kept separate. Server-side: PQ-compliant TLS 1.3 with post-quantum certificates, using ML-KEM and ML-DSA, aligned with NIST PQC standards, on Pairpoint's server-to-server APIs, not on the device. Device-side: symmetric AES-256-GCM and HMAC-SHA256 (FIPS 197 and 198-1), built on 3GPP standards, using no public key cryptography of any kind. Independently validated by NCC Group. Denotes technical readiness, not a regulatory guarantee or a claim of absolute cryptanalytic immunity. FIPS 197 and 198-1 are the AES and HMAC algorithm specifications; the SIM is a tamper-resistant hardware security module, typically certified to Common Criteria EAL4+ or above with the level chosen by the operator, and Pairpoint itself is not Common Criteria certified.
- Zero-trust. Architecturally aligned with NIST SP 800-207 principles, "never trust, always verify", anchored to SIM, eSIM and iSIM hardware-derived symmetric keys. No universally ratified zero-trust certification exists, so alignment is assessed against architectural principles. Also assessed as aligned with NIS2 technical security measures and GDPR Article 25 data protection by design; these are architectural alignments, not certifications.
- Carrier-native. Operates inside the network within carrier trusted zones, anchored to the existing SIM, eSIM and iSIM to network relationship. No overlays, no PKI lifecycle complexity, no hardware replacement. Availability is subject to carrier contract, standardized integration to the carrier network authentication function, provisioning and device compliance; cross-carrier interoperability requires validation under a specific operator agreement.
- Server and workload identity. For a server or workload with no SIM, authentication today is a username and password yielding a session token that must be periodically refreshed, exchanged inside a cryptographic tunnel. SIM-rooted identity is not the mechanism for server and workload identity, so sovereign AI and data centre trust are stated as direction of travel rather than a shipping capability.
- Certificate replacement. Scoped to third-party and external device certificates in suitable connected-device estates. Pairpoint is not a general substitute for public key infrastructure or for certificate authorities, and it is not a replacement for servers. It removes the need for a certificate per device where the device holds a SIM, eSIM or iSIM.
