What is V-Key?
V-Key MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is a robust authentication solution designed to enhance security by requiring multiple forms of verification.
V-Key Features:
Passwordless Authentication
V-Key MFA enables passwordless access, reducing the risk of password-related vulnerabilities.
Mobile-Based Authentication
It uses your mobile phone as a secure token, leveraging advanced cryptographic technology to ensure the integrity and security of the authentication process.
Tamper-Resistant
The solution includes tamper detection and response mechanisms to protect against unauthorized access and tampering.
Virtual Secure Element
V-Key’s core technology, V-OS, acts as a virtual secure element, providing a secure environment for authentication processes.
Cloud-Based and Scalable
V-Key MFA is hosted in the cloud, making it easy to deploy and scale according to your organization’s needs.
Compliance and Certification
It meets high security standards like FIPS 140-2 Level 1 and Common Criteria EAL3+, ensuring compliance with various regulatory requirements.
How can V-Key help you?
V-Key enhances security through various channels. Its streamlined multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution effectively verifies user identities before granting access to essential applications.
Furthermore, V-Key enables effortless identity transfer between apps, fostering trust and
consistent authentication across multiple platforms. This approach not only confirms user identities but also protects the identities of the applications themselves.
How does V-Key Work?
1.
Registration: Users register their mobile devices with the V-Key system. This involves linking the device to the user’s account and setting up the necessary authentication factors.
2.
Virtual Secure Element: V-Key employs its patented V-OS technology, functioning as a virtual secure element. By installing the V-Key Authenticator, users create a secure
environment on their mobile devices, protecting the authentication process from tampering and attacks.
3.
Authentication Process:
• Initiation: When a user attempts to log in, the V-Key system initiates the authentication process.
• Verification: The user is prompted to verify their identity using multiple factors, such as a biometric scan (fingerprint or facial recognition) and a cryptographic key stored in the virtual secure element.
• Validation: The V-Key system validates the provided factors against the
4.
Tamper Detection: V-Key includes tamper detection mechanisms that monitor the device for signs of tampering or compromise. If any suspicious activity is detected, the authentication process is halted to prevent unauthorized access.
5.
Regular Updates: The V-Key app receives regular security updates to address new threats and vulnerabilities, ensuring the system remains secure over time.
