Existing Solution
The goal of authentication is to ensure users accessing services or products are who they say they are. Passwords, SMS OTPs, Captchas, Biometrics, and Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions are some of the many existing solutions in the market that aim to achieve this goal. Unfortunately, these solutions are easily hackable or have vulnerabilities that render the solution ineffective.

A recent dark web audit revealed 15 Billion stolen credentials from 100,000 breaches 1 .SMS OTPs can be stolen with malware or other malicious Man in the Middle attacks, while captchas fail to stop sophisticated BOTs from attempting account take over 2 . Solutions that involve biometric authentication tend not to be 100% accurate but can also be updated remotely leaving legitimate users locked out of their account. While SSO solutions from Facebook and Google provide ease of use for the users, they still use passwords which can be easily hacked or allow hackers to create large volumes of fake accounts that can be coordinated to perform large scale fraud.
