What is Island Technology?
Our patented Island Technology is used in our Stash Card to provide advanced offline security. Island Technology is an air-gapped communication "island" that you have physical control over. The "island" only has one direction of communication meaning there is never a direct connection to your vault of passwords. Watch the Video.
