At a time when artificial intelligence is learning to reproduce faces, voices and even emotions, the line between identification and surveillance is becoming finer every day. Fingerprints, faces, passwords: these ways of connecting, long perceived as secure, are now showing their limits. In a world where everything can be imitated, how can we create optimal authentication for the security of our data while respecting our individual freedoms?
This is the challenge faced by YNEURO, a French startup based at Station F, with Neuro IDⓇa neural signature authentication technology that makes invisible security a new standard of trust. By combining innovation, ethics and sovereignty, the company embodies another possible path for Europe in global cybersecurity.
Fluid, sovereign and unconstrained authentication.
Founded by Thomas Semah, an engineer passionate about the convergence between artificial intelligence, neuroscience and cybersecurity, YNEURO starts from a simple intuition: ethics and technology are inseparable to secure the digital experience while preserving the freedoms and confidentiality of user data.
A vision that came true with Neuro IDⓇ. The solution is based on a neural signature unique to each person, integrated into everyday connected objects: headphones, smart glasses, headsets, etc. These devices equipped with miniaturized sensors analyze the characteristic neural signals of each user in a few milliseconds in order to confirm their identity.
No password, no gesture, no scan: authentication is instantaneous and undetectable. And above all, no data is transmitted: everything is encrypted and processed locally, in accordance with the GDPR and the European AI Act. Unlike traditional biometric solutions (fingerprint, iris, facial recognition) which are vulnerable to theft and irrevocable, the neural signature offers superior uniqueness and unprecedented revocability, which could make it the safest way to evolve in the digital space.
“Tomorrow, everyone will be able to benefit from our technology. And with it, a promise: a security that fades to make way for experience. » – Thomas Semah, founder and CEO of YNEURO
A French innovation with global influence.
Winner of the CEATEC Award in Tokyo, elected Favorite innovation of the French at Viva Technology, labeled Deep Tech Pioneer by Hello Tomorrow, and member of Station F’s Future 40, YNEURO stands out as a showcase of French know-how in ethical deep-tech. Faced with the scale of cyber threats to public and economic security, Neuro ID neural signature authenticationⓇ guarantees the security of organizations and the resilience of their activities.
Its participation in various international events confirms its attractiveness and success, particularly on the American market. The startup is preparing its participation at NeurIPS 2025 (San Diego) and CES in Las Vegas, after having seduced the Asian market with its sovereign approach to cybersecurity. So many steps which reflect the global credibility of a French innovation, capable of becoming the 1er global bulwark against cybercrime in a market worth several hundred billions.
“ Our solution is not only innovative. It has become necessary. Faced with the rise in fraud, we offer a simple, reliable and deeply humane exit route. » –Tom Semah
Sovereignty as a driver of trust.
In a context of economic and informational war, where the control of biometric data becomes a power issue, YNEURO embodies a double movement: that of French technological hard power and European ethical soft power. With its Neuro ID technologyⓇYNEURO defines a high European standard of digital security offering a global perspective on the conditions for cybersecurity that is at the same time ethical, sovereign and technologically advanced.
This French innovation offers “privacy by design” technology respectful of European frameworks and adapted to the needs of operators of vital importance. Its approach is part of a process of protecting citizens against foreign digital interference, but also of strengthening social cohesion through trust in the digital space.
By proving that it is possible to innovate without monitoring, the startup sends a strong message to the entire tech ecosystem: the security of the future will not be measured by the quantity of data collected but by the quality of the trust it inspires.
“Sovereignty is not a brake on innovation, it is a condition for its sustainability. » – Tom Semah
