To ensure accurate credential injection, it’s important to deactivate the caps lock key. Since the physical keyboard takes precedence, an active caps lock may interfere with the intended input. Always verify that caps lock is off before initiating a session.
EviKeyboard BLE leverages Freemindtronic’s patented EviCore NFC HSM technology. This system provides real-time access to encrypted secrets without storing any sensitive data. Secrets are decrypted on demand, injected via BLE, and instantly erased—ensuring zero persistence and full sovereignty.
EviKeyboard BLE supports a wide range of platforms: Windows XP and newer, Linux 2.6+, and macOS 10.5+. It works with any device that accepts USB HID keyboard input, including BIOS, SCADA, and air-gapped systems.
By eliminating delays and manual syncing, EviKeyboard BLE delivers instant access to your secrets. Each NFC tap triggers a live injection, improving both speed and accuracy—ideal for high-security workflows and fast-paced environments.
EviKeyboard BLE uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for efficient, low-power communication. It’s optimized for Android NFC-enabled phones and designed to operate without draining battery or requiring background services.
EviKeyboard BLE supports multiple keyboard layouts, including: Czech, German (Switzerland), Danish, Greek, Spanish, English (UK & US), French (Belgium, Canada, Finland, France), Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian (Bokmål), Portuguese (Brazil & Portugal), Polish, Russian, and Swedish.
EviKeyboard BLE secures virtual typing by encrypting the Bluetooth signal using AES-128 CBC, ensuring that every injected character is transmitted confidentially. The injection occurs without interacting with the physical keyboard, and bypasses the clipboard, RAM, and DOM. No data is stored locally. Secrets are decrypted on demand from the NFC HSM, injected in real time, and immediately erased—guaranteeing a sovereign, trace-free execution chain.
Yes. EviKeyboard BLE can switch seamlessly between your Android NFC phone and any USB HID-compatible computer. It supports multi-device workflows without reconfiguration.
No. EviKeyboard BLE is built on a low-level integration with the InputStick subsystem, specifically its HID BLE interface. This implementation is tightly coupled with Freemindtronic’s sovereign architecture and cannot be extended to other NFC HSM products unless they are explicitly designed to support InputStick HID BLE injection.
Only modules such as PassCypher NFC HSM, DataShielder NFC HSM, and SeedNFC HSM are compatible by design. Other Freemindtronic technologies may use different injection protocols or encryption layers that are not interoperable with EviKeyboard BLE.
EviKeyboard BLE offers a BLE range of up to 10 meters, allowing you to operate comfortably from a distance while maintaining a stable connection.
InputStick is a USB dongle that bridges your Android phone and computer. When paired with EviKeyboard BLE, it emulates a physical keyboard—receiving encrypted input via BLE and injecting it directly into the host system.
Unlike traditional virtual keyboards, EviKeyboard BLE operates , stores no secrets, and uses NFC HSM-based multi-factor authentication. It ensures sovereign, trace-free credential injection with real-time control and zero cloud dependency.
Pairing is handled automatically by the Freemindtronic Android app once the InputStick Utility is installed and AES-128 CBC encryption is activated. From there, all operations are managed by the NFC-enabled app.
Security relies on multi-factor authentication using Freemindtronic’s patented EviCore NFC HSM. Each session begins with an NFC tap that decrypts a segmented AES-256 CBC key. The payload is then transmitted via BLE using AES-128 encryption. This ensures a sovereign execution chain—air-gapped, ephemeral, and cryptographically segmented.
