Unfortunately, it is now an alarming reality: cyberattacks are targeting not only major public institutions, but also individual citizens. Over the last two days alone, the media have reported on cyberattacks targeting the British Ministry of Defense, a Member of the European Parliament, the City Hall of Albi, the University of Guyana, and the list may well go on.
In spite of ourselves, we have witnessed several incidents where sensitive data has been compromised, jeopardizing everyone's confidentiality and security. These attacks should not be taken lightly. They represent a serious threat to our privacy, our personal information, and even the stability of our institutional systems. It is our duty to apply innovative solutions to counter this growing threat.
This is where Veintree’s technology comes in, offering a robust defense against cyberattacks for public institutions, companies, and individual citizens alike. Veintree uses an innovative approach to secure authentication data at enrolment, transforming it into as many specific and anonymous mathematical locks as there are applications to protect. These locks are created by scanning a part of a person’s body, usually the hand for practical reasons, in order to generate a digital code for each individual lock linked to an application.
These digital locks offer several unassailable protection mechanisms. Even if a site’s mathematical functions are compromised, hackers are unable to exploit them, and most importantly, are unable to use them on other sites.
To open these locks, only the part of the body that was used to create the lock can act as the digital key. What’s more, each digital key is unique: it can only serve once, because its parameters change with each use of an application, while always remaining compatible with the lock. This means that any attempt to use a previous key is useless and doomed to failure, thereby protecting the access and data that are secured behind the lock.
This mathematical approach ensures that data can be encrypted from one end of the chain to the other, that it is resistant to future attacks using quantum calculations, and that it is neither identifiable, stored, nor vulnerable to compromise or subsequent reuse.
Inspired by biometrics, but without the risks and constraints, Veintree’s authentication technology is entirely based on mathematical principles and can be applied to all: institutions, companies, and citizens.
