Remme: Passwordless Authentication - 1st in the World

Remme is a cyber security blockchain company that aims to establish an impenetrable, intuitive, and flawless user authentication layer to protect individuals and businesses from data breaches.

It does this by eliminating passwords altogether. Yes you heard right. There is no need to remember passwords to your countless crypto, social media, banking, etc. accounts any more. It is too cumbersome to remember so many passwords. And password accounts are easy targets of hackers, since these are stored on centralized databases. How often have you come across news of supposedly secured organisations being compromised. Equifax? Yahoo? Ebay? How about Adult Friend Finder?

With Remme's First-in-the-World passwordless authentication solution, we will be able to achieve a smoother and uninterrupted authentication experience across all applications.

It is a distributed Public Key Infrastructure (“PKI”) management technology built on top of the X.509 certificate standard that uses SSL/TLS to protect the entire channel from an attack.

To first understand how Remme intends to implement its very own PKI authentication solution, we first need to have basic knowledge of PKI. To put it simply:

PKIs are necessary to help ascertain the identity of different people, devices, and services… employing cryptographic technologies... to digitally sign documents transactions, and software to prove the source as well as the integrity of those materials

Public Blockchain

Furthermore, Remme’s cyber security solution is powered by the public blockchain, thus taking advantage of its many hack-resilient features like zero knowledge storage, encryption, privacy, and security.

Because Remme utilizes both the blockchain and PKI, it is meshing the Best of Both Worlds.

Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

The two-factor authentication is an additional layer of security ensuring that only the owner of the account can access it, even if the private SSL/TLS certificate key has been compromised.

Did I say Best of Both Worlds? Make that Best of 3 Worlds! Boom! Remme is not only bringing blockchain to the PKI infrastructure, it is also adding another layer (2FA) to further solidify what is already impenetrable.
