As AI integrates into our systems, our data is more exposed than ever. Cyphlens prevents unathorized-agent and -human access via data encryption that keeps files protected everywhere they are sent and stored through two powerful avenues: CypherFile encrypts files at the source, before they leave the sender's device, and binding decryption to a registered device. No device, no access, for anyone, including AI agents. A zero-trust solution with no data custody - by design. CypherMFA ensures human presence via Cypher challenge, scanned and authenticated with your Cyphlens app. Cyphlens turns your mobile phone into a powerful decryption device. It loads private, secret keys on your phone and then uses the camera to read encrypted Cyphlens images faster than the blink of an eye to access secure data and prove identity.
