A recent data breach in France affected over 33 million citizens, involving the theft of information held by two heavyweights in the third-party payment sector. Sensitive data such as names, civil status, social security numbers, dates of birth, insurer names and contract guarantees were compromised, opening the way to significant risks of identity theft.
Unlike conventional login and password methods, which are centralized on servers that can fall victim to hacker intrusion, as was the case, the Veintree solution allows you to protect access to databases and encrypt them.
This encryption ensures that the work carried out on these databases (or better still, only on certain portions of the databases) can be performed solely by authorized personnel. Through our system based on 3rd-generation biometric authentication technology, which has no reference database, the user’s hand generates a unique key with each access. Our technology authenticates the user and, for a given period of time, decrypts the data that he or she needs on their workstation.
With Veintree, access is protected without any reference to a database, while data is encrypted on the server and circulates encrypted on the network. With the Veintree solution, which is resistant to quantum computers, the hackers would probably not have gained access to the servers mentioned above. And even if they had (remember that there is no reference database), they would only have had access to encrypted data that is entirely useless to them.
