What is FireID?

The efficiency and convenience afforded by things like online shopping, Internet banking and company VPNs make them essential tools in a fast paced world. However, security threats such as identity theft and Internet fraud require a cutting edge solution.

FireID is a groundbreaking authentication system that allows users to login securely and conveniently to almost anything that requires personal authentication, without the need to remember passwords.

FireID provides users with three fundamental benefits that set it apart from existing security systems:

  1. Eliminate the need to remember multiple passwords, so users never have to risk writing passwords down or using the same password over and over again.

  2. Eliminate the need to receive passwords via SMS that can be intercepted by Internet fraudsters.

  3. Eliminate the need to carry any other authentication hardware e.g. hardware tokens issued by the banks for OTPs (one-time-passwords).

How does FireID work?

FireID generates secure one-time-passwords instantaneously and completely offline using something that users always have with them: a mobile phone.

After a simple installation process, a FireID enabled phone can generate OTPs for limitless different applications, such as online banking, Internet shopping and accessing an office VPN or extranet.

Because no external sources are required to generate OTPs, the opportunities for Internet fraud of any kind are significantly reduced.

Who is FireID for?

FireID is designed for anyone from private users who want to perform Internet transactions as securely as possible, all the way up to large corporations that depend on access to their VPNs, servers and websites being strictly controlled.

FireID is a highly secure authentication system that can be easily downloaded onto almost any mobile phone in just a few minutes, allowing users to instantly generate their own OTPs wherever personal authentication is required.
