Recovery Key
A distinct path for regaining authorized access.
Security Core
Security through separation.
Q‑Tel is designed around purpose-specific keys, local authorization and recoverability—without treating one credential as the answer to every risk.
Recovery Key
A distinct path for regaining authorized access.
Device Identity Key
Binds an authorized Q‑Tel identity context to a device.
Verified Action Key
Reserved for explicit, sensitive action authorization.
Communication Keys
Purpose-specific protection for conversations and calls.
Vault Master Key
A separately governed root for protected vault access.
Key architecture
Five responsibilities. Five distinct trust boundaries.
Device Identity Key
Binds an authorized Q‑Tel identity context to a device.
Verified Action Key
Reserved for explicit, sensitive action authorization.
Communication Keys
Purpose-specific protection for conversations and calls.
Vault Master Key
A separately governed root for protected vault access.
Device foundation
Use the strongest device capability available.
On iOS, Q‑Tel uses Secure Enclave capabilities. On Android, it uses Keystore and StrongBox where device support is available.
Hardware-backed behavior varies by device, operating system and implementation. Q‑Tel verifies capability at runtime rather than implying universal support.
Optional biometrics
Biometrics can be optional for ordinary use and required by policy for selected sensitive actions.
Optional app code
Your own Q‑Tel code can lock the app in addition to the device passcode.
No raw biometric upload
Raw biometric data is not sent to Q‑Tel; operating-system authorization supplies the result.
Policy by action
Different actions can require different levels of local review and authorization.
Recovery
Recovery should restore access—not collapse every key boundary.
Q‑Tel's recovery is separated from device identity, communication, verified action and vault key responsibilities.
01
Establish recovery authority
02
Review device change
03
Restore eligible access
04
Re-establish separated keys
