What Certenticat provides
Certenticat provides classic NFC tools for reading tag details, composing standard NDEF records, writing compatible tags, and formatting test tags. The platform also provides registered product workspaces for CAT Tools, Tap2Mint, and Tap2Redeem.
Reading a tag does not register it with Certenticat. Registration, certification, authentication, tokenization, Tap2Mint, and Tap2Redeem flows are separate product actions that require an account, workspace access, and eligible NFC inventory.
Accounts and access
Customer features require an authorized account. Admin and developer features, including CertentiKey or secure seed tooling, are restricted to approved internal or administrative users and are not customer self-service features inside the Certenticat customer workspace.
You are responsible for keeping account credentials, wallet access, NFC inventory, and desktop devices under your control. Certenticat may suspend access where misuse, security risk, abuse, or unauthorized access is detected.
NFC and desktop bridge use
The desktop bridge connects the web application to a local PC/SC NFC reader. Local reader behavior depends on the operating system, driver, reader firmware, tag type, and tag state.
Formatting a tag clears NDEF content and can be irreversible for the data stored on that tag. Copying, erasing protected cards, cloning credentials, or bypassing security controls is not permitted unless the operation is part of an authorized administrative recovery workflow.
Blockchain, minting, and redemption
Tap2Mint and tokenization features may create or reference blockchain records, NFTs, wallet addresses, contracts, token identifiers, and public metadata. Blockchain transactions may be public, irreversible, and outside Certenticat's sole control once submitted.
Certenticat does not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Redemption campaigns and customer offers remain the responsibility of the workspace owner operating them.
Reliability and limits
Certenticat aims to reduce counterfeiting and operational risk, but no NFC, cryptographic, blockchain, or software system can guarantee absolute authenticity, availability, or security.
The service may change as NFC standards, product workspaces, compliance needs, and security controls evolve. Production use should be tested with the exact readers, tags, operating systems, and workflows planned for deployment.
