JANUS Benefits
Every organisation providing online financial transaction services or exchanging privileged content will benefit from utilising the JANUS solution. Some of the key benefits include:
Privacy Compliance
By allowing all individual users to manage their own identity without any third party interference, JANUS solution offers a true shared secret in the independently hosted database. The JANUS server authenticates the service provider on behalf of the user and authenticates the user on behalf of the service provider. These rigid processes are designed to be transparent. Coupled with a dynamically selected hash method and a randomly chosen communication medium, user privacy is assured at all times regardless of whatever happens to the communication network.
Another advantage of JANUS is that a user can complete their transaction discretely in contrast to other methods of authentication where a user would need to open their wallet to get to the extra authentication card or device. This presents unnecessary and potential physical risks.
Strong Security
JANUS offers high security through the implementation of patented continuous authentication technology and by concealing all important authentication messages. These measures ensure highest possible security is achieved as the authentication message is not only invisible but it also removes the username and password log-on.
By removing the data patterns in a network/Internet communication environment, JANUS reduces the risk of network based attacks. The continuous human factor authentication techniques further reduce the risk of identity theft as the new authentication processes no longer relies on a single, static identifier such as a password to obtain credential verification remotely.
Superior Value
JANUS solution is a platform independent, server-side solution that does not need special hardware to run. Once the JANUS system is implemented, it protects all users and the organisation immediately. JANUS solution can be self funded from savings made up from a reduced resource demand. There are savings on continuous capital investment in security technology updates, upgrades and other reactive security initiatives.
Scalable Architecture
JANUS solution consists of many individual security or communication functions, methods and processes that building a very strong authentication and transaction environemnt. This modular system architecture allows new functions, methods and processes to be added without affecting the normal operation, hence enabling new features to be added or existing features to be modified or removed.
JANUS solution use standard and proven network communication and database technologies. The system is very flexible; it can incorporated with other two-factor authentication hardware and technology to build new capabilities. Extra capacity can be added easily by increasing the computing resources. JANUS can be configured to operate in high availability, load balancing and cluster computing environments.
