Our platform filancore Sentinel builds a sovereign infrastructure where each entity gets an unique, cryptographically verifiable identity.
No PKI. Just sovereign identities.

The PKI problem
Public Key Infrastructures is common practice today. The turning point comes with the growing demand for interoperability, resilience, and flexibility – where PKI naturally reach their limit. They create bottlenecks, dependencies, and costs that can’t keep pace with digital growth.
Single points of failure
Your entire digital trust depends on external certificate authorities.
High
costs
High scaling & hidden operational overhead costs that multiply with growth.
Use case
-bound
Complex & costly infrastructure, that is not reusable across different use cases.
Rigid
hierachies
Inflexible trust models that don’t adapt to business needs.
The sovereign alternative
No PKI. No compromises.
filancore Sentinel is the unified platform that transforms identity-centric infrastructures into fully interoperable ecosystems: seamless, owner-controlled, built on web of trust architecture and decentralized standards. Identities made simple – for people, things, and organisations.
Secure identity management
Management platform for trusted collaboration by verifiable, self-managed identities
Human identity
Passwordless & cross-system login
