Truly Know Who's Behind the Device - Confidently Phase Out Passwords

1Kosmos offers a biometric-based identity verification and passwordless multi-factor authentication (MFA) platform with a privacy-by-design architecture centered around a private and permissioned distributed ledger.

The platform generates a non-phishable multifactor authentication credential for employees while giving customers a convenient passwordless option for strong authentication to prevent fraud. Because all personally identifiable information (PII) is public/private key encrypted and the user maintains sole possession and access to the private key without third-party intermediaries, PII is always stored and managed in compliance with data privacy mandates and is never exposed in the clear.

The 1Kosmos platform’s innovative architecture combines live biometrics, machine verification of government credentials, a portable digital identity wallet, a private, permissioned ledger, and verified reusable digital credentials.

Combined, these capabilities eliminate the identity gap in conventional Single Sign On (SSO) and MFA. They remove the compromise between security and convenience by reducing transaction friction while verifying identity at every access or service request. An immutable chain of custody provides tamper-evident digital identity and verified credentials for unmatched trust.
