On February 25 2019 was held the official kickoff of the MeRS project, aiming to leverage the blockchain technology to improve multimodal supply chain operations along the Mediteranean – Rhone – Saone axis (hence the acronym MeRS).
KeeeX is proud to contribute to this project by bringing our expertise on Data and Blockchain and wishes to showcase by this project in cooperation with the platforms MGI and BuyCo the adequation of two of our innovations in the supply chain domain :
the KeeeX technology allowing for injecting withing any file operational context and trust metadata that yields standalone unforgeable digital originals carrying easily exploitable and permanently secured structured metadata.
the KeeeX Chains solution that lets participants in a process contribute to blockchain secured unforgeable, interoperable and auditable chains of information (documents, events and data).
The pilot, which will be released in june 2018, will demonstrate to actors the importance of using a trustless secured and interoperable data chain in achieving better efficiency and visibility along the full path of a multimodal supply chain process.
The MeRS project, sponsored by the “Délégation Interministérielle au développement de l’axe portuaire et logistique Méditerranée-Rhône-Saône”, is also sponsored by the “Banque des Territoires (Caisse de Dépôts et Consignations)”, “Voies navigables de France” (VNF), the “Compagnie Nationale du Rhône” (CNR) and the “Grand Port Maritime de Marseille” (GPMM). A plurality of professional actors (exporters, freight forwarders, carriers, multimodal operators…) also participate in this experimentation.
We are pleased to wish all our partners, customers, friends and anybody reading this post a happy new year 2019, filled with joy, friendly and happy relationships whether in your professional or private life, and the best possible outcome for all your projects.
Maybe also is it time to discover the future of Data with us. We’ll be delighted to help if not already the case.
With many cheerful thanks for all the energy shared with us along 2018.
We are proud to announce that KeeeX is one of the 20 startups selected by Business France for the 2018 Web Summit!

What is the Web Summit ?
For several years now, the Web Summit has been recognized as a leading European digital event where the latest technologies and the best of the world’s Tech scene gather, recording an average of 60,000 visitors.
On September 2018 the 6th took place the 13th Univ’AirPlus edition, an afternoon meetup organised by the AirPlus International company to discuss about the potential impact of Blockchain on business travel.
For this 3rd edition, the renowned specialist of business travel cost management offered participants to join an Innovation Room. This Hub allowed participants to exchange with innovative start-ups developing new blockchain related tools and use cases.
There, KeeeX was offered the possibility to showcase our innovative technology, that permits to protect and value datas, and proved its quick and seamless integration in existing business processes.
At the end of the day, participants voted to elect the most innovating start-up and we are pleased to announce that KeeeX has won the Gold Innovation Room Award !
We were honoured to receive this award from the hands of Yaël Klein (Chief Marketing Officer – AirPlus International) and Julien Fierobe (Business Development Director – MasterCard).
We would like to thank the whole AirPlus team for the organisation of this great event.
We at KeeeX have always treated personal data privacy at our highest priority, and are proud to think that we offer ultimate GDPR compliance. To the entire world.
Using our apps, whether on Unix, PC or mobile, Data is processed on your side. When transferred it is encrypted end to end, in ways inaccessible to our it department or anyone but you or your partners. As per your instructions, Data may even be transferred using your own disks or clouds!
But what matters more : KeeeX has NO business of any kind with your Data, Documents, Metadata, traces of Activity. We do not see, use, resell, train any AI with them. We just deliver the promise of permanently unforgeable files and interaction.
Just back from CES 2018, we are present on January 23 & 24 at FIC 2018 at the Grand Palais of Lille to make you discover our data protection solutions embedded in files.
During these two days, we received the France Cybersecurity Label, a great pride for all our team!
What is Label France Cybersécurité ?
The France Cybersecurity Label addresses several necessities and objectives :
Promote French cybersecurity solutions and increase their international exposure
Raise awareness among users and international ordering parties regarding the importance of the French origin of a Cybersecurity offer and its intrinsic qualities
Certify to users and ordering parties the quality and functionalities of labelled products and services
Increase their overall use and the security level of users
The “Fake News” phenomenon propagates and challenges trust in information. The problem has reached such a level that the European Commission has launched a public consultation this November. Searching for ways to tackle this, EDF has initiated the experimental certification of all their Press Releases using the KeeeX technology.
Starting from November the 15th 2017, these documents are equipped with a unique set of digital signatures allowing for proving the file integrity, the author’s identity, and a publishing date. The recipients may thus verify that these PRs indeed stem from EDF by just using the service at http://medias.edf.com and a simple drag.
KeeeX is proud to collaborate with EDF on this pioneering project. This experimentation combines two technologies that address digital trust :
the KeeeX technology lets any file be secured and valued by seamlessly injecting proofs of integrity, authorship, legal timestamps, tags, chaining to other files… Builtin file trust !
the Blockchain technology allows for warranting the existence of a file at a given date. The blockchain can be perceived as an unforgeable replicated registry that can be used to record forever the fingerprints of files
Laurent Henocque, owner and CEO of KeeeX : « We are proud and happy with this trial by EDF to demonstrates the huge potential of our technology. Fake news, fake documents, data leakage, users have an ever weaker trust in the digital. KeeeX was created to fight this situation. Our offer allows for injecting trust within files and make digital signature available to everybody. ! ».
Karl Minvielle, Responsable Sécurité SI & Patrimoine EDF – DSP : « We were willing to experiment the certification of our Press Releases together with a blockchain anchoring. KeeeX was the only startup to offer a solution that was “off the shelf”, mature, fully operational and ready to deploy without intervention of our IT department. In tight and positive relationship with KeeeX, we could put KeeeX PR in production for our use case in a snap. Considering the fast acceptance of KeeeX by our users and the yet unexplored potential, I anticipate a bright future for this solution within EDF. »
Since October 17, the Blockchain Patrimonia app by Monuma is available in the stores!
This app uses the KeeeX technology to certify proofs of state of pieces of art and of rooms containing such. It also protects the expert reports and appraisals.
With Blockchain Patrimonia, you can appraise the value and authenticity of your works of art and furniture but also value the entire property estate heritage of your home. The pictures taken by Blockchain Patrimonia are sent automatically by the app to the expert upon request.
Blockchain Patrimonia allows you to have a blockchain art expert in your pocket in real time 24/24 7/7
Should you wish to verify them independently from the app or transfer them, it suffices to share them by email or a cloud service and verify them at https://services.keeex.me/verify or better using our ChatOps app. There you will find all the necessary information: author, geolocation, timestamp …
Make a statement, authenticate, geolocate and timestamp your photographic proofs has never been so simple than using the outstanding KeeeX blockchain technology.
It is difficult to get a clear view about the new European General Data Protection Regulation. Below is a summary of essential information to understand to enter your GDPR compliance process, followed by details on how KeeeX can make it ultra simple.
HOW DOES KEEEX ADDRESS THESE ISSUES?
Using the KeeeX technology, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) can easily:
•respond to audit requests concerning personal data processing and location.
•respond to personal data recovery, transfer and destruction requests in a timely manner.
•prevent and detect data violations, including on the dark web.
The informed consent of the user can be collected with unprecedented levels of quality: a user’s electronic signature applies to exact and easily verifiable documents, and produces blockchain traceable standalone proof records.
The identity of a user is self-sovereign. Her interaction with the service requires only the strict necessary elements, and may even remain pseudonymous (health data).
Respect for privacy and industrial property is ultimate: processing is made locally and shares are end to end encrypted.
01. Proof of Consent
What is this? Consent is an active and explicit user process that must be free, specific, and informed. In an online form, it can materialize, for example, by a checkbox, unchecked by default.
KeeeX Solution : KeeeX embeds within every file a unique and humanized identifier that can easily and freely be verified without trusted tier. Consent now applies to exact and guaranteed documents. This requires KeeeX Core, KeeeX ChatOps or our Proof of Consent module
02. Data Location
What is this? In order to return data to a user as quickly as possible, companies must know the exact location of personal data at any time.
KeeeX Solution : KeeeX embeds unique identifiers and tags inside files to easily locate the data related to your customer, even in deep company filesystems or application silos, ultimately by using low level system commands. This is available using KeeeX Core, KeeeX ChatOps or KaaaS
03. Pseudonymization
What is this? Pseudonymization helps telling apart personal data from other irrelevant information. Pseudonymization generates an identification key that allows to establish the link between various personal information sources.
KeeeX Solution : The use of blockchain identities allows for total user control over their identities used in connection with web services or portals: Requires KeeeX Identities, Blockchain anchors and Timestamps
04. Data Portability
What is this? Users have the right to claim all the personal data they have provided to a service, in a structured format, preferably user machine-readable. They also have the right to transmit this data to another processing manage.
KeeeX Solution : KeeeX embeds within every file unique identifiers that make their location a snap. All our apps also fully leave data on user’s side, which renders the requirement satisfied by default.
05. Privacy by design
What is this? Data protection requirements must be taken into account by organizations as early as since the design stage of their products, services and systems.
KeeeX Solution : AllKeeeX solutions leave data on user’s side. When data transfer is involved, as in KeeeX ChatOps for instance, it is performed using state of the art end to end encryption. Data is shared using peer to peer zero knowledge procedures.
06. Accountability
What is this ? Accountability is the obligation made for companies to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that the treatment of personal data is performed under the Regulation, and be able to demonstrate.
KeeeX Solution : All KeeeX solutions embed within each file regardless of their format a unique identifier so that data can be traced on premises without third parties. Proof of deletion for instance is straightforward to demonstrate.
We at KeeeX have long committed to Bitcoin as the safest of all blockchains, and the fork would not impact previous timestamps and anchors (visible at https://services.keeex.me/timestamps), nor impact future anchors. We shall continue using the main Bitcoin chain in the near future, also because Segwit is meaningful to us, as it resolves the transaction malleability issue that when occurring would have impacted the access to our blockchain timestamps.
After joining LaBChain, the 1st European Blockchain Consortium, KeeeX continues its development strategy and demonstrates the interest of many sectors in its technology. The startup integrates the Blockchain season 1 of the System @ IRX Start @ SystemX program!
This initiative gives to selected startups the opportunity to work with industrial and academic partners of the IRT SystemX.
IRT SystemX is positioning itself as an accelerator of digital transformation. Focusing on the digital engineering of the future systeme, its research projects cover the scientific and technological stakes of the transport and mobility, energy, digital security and communications industrial sectors.
For 6 months, Start@SystemX and its partners are launching several objectives:
Bringing in and developing new uses, particularly in logistics, connected cars, energy or mobility, including associated document management;
Develop new hardware and/or software security solutions, including identity management, data confidentiality, encrypted data processing, formal proof of smart contracts or zero-knowledge disclosure;
Developing innovative cross-transactional architecture and interoperability of blockchain technologies (examples: state channel, sidechains, chains in graph form, etc.).
By integrating its technology engine into the Blockchain for Smart Transactions platform, KeeeX will enable its partners to use its embedded digital signature technology to certify data and documents and to enable traceability of the various processes.
Dedicated to Blockchain technology, it brings together today bankers, asset managers, insurers, mutualists, start-ups, industrial companies and associations.
Created by the Caisse des dépôts in December 2015, LabChain is an innovation laboratory dedicated to distributed ledger technology. It aims at factoring exploration approaches and collectively anticipating the opportunities and impacts of this technological breakthrough.
This initiative supports the development of the French ecosystem in Blockchain technology by organizing its work around partnerships between large groups and start-ups.
The LabChain consortium organizes :
– a “Do Tank”, where each partner provides resources to identify and prototype, in agile mode, possible implementation scenarios of this technology, and shares concrete and feasible use cases implemented by one or more of the Blockchain stakeholders. Today, several experiments (POC) have been carried out or are under way, notably on digital identity and KYC or the collateral securities management.
– a “Think Tank” to answer the questions raised by the work of the “Do Tank” and to improve the understanding of the stakes of this technology, in connection with institutional regulatory partners.
On May 23rd, KeeeX took part in the IoT & Connected Objects meeting of SCS Cluster. On this meeting, Laurent Henocque has explained benefits and security issues that Blockchain technology brings. Find his presentation on our blog.
Partner of the International Cybersecurity Forum, we exhibit in innovation space on 24-25 January on Booth D3 with start-ups and SMEs that are developing tomorrow’s security technologies.
Exchange with us around cyber security and Blockchain and test our applications : KeeeX ChatOps (ultra-secure collaboration), PhotoProof by KeeeX (Blockchain camera) and Keeex Core (our back office certification technology via API).
