JANUS Features

JANUS offers a complete solution by providing end-to-end security, data integrity validation, as well as continuous, two-way authentication, achieving the highest possible data security without compromising user privacy. For the full white paper on the JANUS solution, click here.

Human Factor Authentication

JANUS solution has been built with patented HUMAN FACTORS AUTHENTICATION, the technology that allows individual users to choose their own way of presenting the digital identity between the user and a service provider through an idependant party - JANUS. This personalized security feature builds a new level of security and an ease of use particular to an individual’s strength and preference.

Continuous, Two-way Authentication

JANUS stands out as the superior authentication solution due to its continuous, two-way authentication feature that redefines the meaning of login that enables strict secure policy enforcement.

Traditional systems give a user a login status, once authenticated, the user is granted access to all resources without restriction therefore increases the risk of attack as the potential gains are very high.

With JANUS solution, the user is granted only limited access to only one area of the resources available, hence this limits the exposure to potential threat of hacking. Should the user require access to other areas of protected data, a new authentication challenge must be completed before they are granted access.

The easy to use, two-way and mutual authentication requires active user participation that enhance network integrity and security that renders social engineered attacks ineffective and irrelevant.

Message & User privacy

Firstly, JANUS solution uses patented Message Dissemination technology to exchange a shared secret without passing any of its original contents as every communication is dynamically created, one-way hashed with one-time-password and randomly selected with cryptographic hash functions. We can guarantee that no message will be repeated over the life of the system as every message is created with timestamp.

Secondly, a user can create and manage his/her own profile (shared secrets) that are to be used by the system during the transaction. The system has a built-in mechanism that ensures personal data can not be retrieved in its original form outside the host computer.

Transaction Integrity

JANUS solution has built-in processes to ensure transaction integrity. When a user initiates a transaction, the content of a transaction is encapsulated, after the data is hashed locally the hash result is sent to JANUS server, the transaction data is also posted to the service provider for processing. Because the undetectable and potential sophisticated man-in-the-middle attacks exists before the service provider commits to the transaction, the transaction data is also hashed and sent to JANUS for verification.

End-To-End Security

Every valid authentication message must be activated by a user action to ensure the message integrity. JANUS solution validates every message in multiple levels as described in a term we have referred as "Stealth Messenger" (the message is delivered almost invisible to unintended recipients). JANUS thoroughly inspects every message received, by compareing the message source, routes and signature of the message at the pre-designated location. If any variation is found within the message, the entire message will be discarded.
