Who We Are

Cryptography is the foundation of security and privacy. Data protection, privacy, authentication and trust are all based on cryptographic keys, making them the ultimate secrets. Unbound pioneers breakthrough technology to safeguard cryptographic keys, by ensuring keys are never exposed throughout their lifecycle, in any environment (in the public/private cloud, virtual environments, containers and on-prem), in software-only form – making cryptography easy, cost-effective and more secure.

At the heart of Unbound’s solutions lies sophisticated applications of Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC), developed by Unbound’s co-founders, Professor Yehuda Lindell and Professor Nigel Smart, world-renowned cryptographers. MPC offers a mathematical guarantee of security that fortifies Unbound’s disruptive technology. For the first time, trust-contingent operations are enabled anywhere, reaching far beyond the boundaries of physical infrastructure.
The name Unbound, stemming from the mathematical term “unbounded” which refers to something that is not confined to certain parameters – reflects our unique approach to security and privacy. As a company, Unbound allows organizations to work with secrets without ever exposing them, ensuring digital assets are safe at all times.

Our Vision:

To support our digital infrastructure, the world is moving towards everything encrypted, signed, and authenticated. Unbound’s next-gen key orchestration platform provides the cryptographic infrastructure to enable enterprises worldwide to easily secure and manage all their information and digital assets.

Our Mission:

Making and leveraging cryptographic breakthroughs in secure multiparty computation (MPC) to provide key management and protection solutions that are easy to use, deploy and manage, in any environment.
