History
[edit | edit source]The company was founded in 2015 by a team of experienced entrepreneurs and security researchers.
The company's core product is based on proprietary password alternatives for password-based legacy systems and secure communications using secret sharing algorithms, originally developed to protect nuclear launch codes,[1] now used to prevent cyber attacks.
The company uses proprietary phone-as-a-token technology to prevent unauthorized use of systems while preventing identity theft.[2]
