In any PKI-based encryption, a client and server use an asymmetric protocol to eventually share a symmetric key. Most attacks happen during this key-exchange. Our passwordless authentication technology is designed to deny hackers enough critical information to carry out an attack during the key exchange phase.
Instead of taking data and encrypting it, we split it into multiple shares (pieces of random data). We deliver these shares via three channels, and one needs all three at the same time to reveal the secret data. Imagine that secret is the number ‘3,’ and imagine it is planted on the Y-axis of a graph. In order to locate that secret, having a point anywhere on the graph would not be enough to reveal the secret. Add a second point, and you can imagine a straight line hitting both points and your secret on the Y-axis. The line is the algorithm connecting the dots, thus divulging the secret.
