Protected security mechanisms
Detailed TAA code logic, coercion handling, protected alert processes and decision rules are not published.
Intellectual property
TAA SECO separates public institutional information from protected technical and patent material. TAA and TPV are treated as distinct inventions, while TAA-TPV refers to their combined protection framework. The public site states only documented procedural status and does not disclose unpublished technical detail.
Documented status
The TAA and TPV technologies are distinct inventions and are the subject of patent applications transmitted to and received by the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI) in March 2026.
Documentary references associated with the March 2026 protection procedures include:
These references document protection procedures concerning the TAA and TPV inventions. They do not state or imply that patents have already been granted, that protection automatically extends worldwide, or that a PCT filing has already been completed.
Terminology
For public consistency: TAA SECO is the platform and brand; TAA is the first invention; TPV is the second invention; TAA-TPV is the combined framework; SECO is a public security-identification code from TAA; and AOM is a service enabled by the security infrastructure.
Disclosure policy
The objective is to explain the project without weakening security, confidentiality or intellectual-property strategy.
Detailed TAA code logic, coercion handling, protected alert processes and decision rules are not published.
Detailed identity enrolment, validation, matching and authentication sequences are not published.
Claims, descriptive memoranda and unpublished technical annexes remain in controlled confidential channels.
Licence pricing, investment terms, contracts, NDAs, exclusivity commitments and identity documents are not part of the public website.
Claims discipline
Public descriptions use language such as “designed to reduce risk”, “intended to strengthen trust”, “can help verify” and “adds a complementary security layer”. Claims of universal compatibility, guaranteed recovery, complete traceability, elimination of fraud or equivalent absolute outcomes require evidence before publication.
