Why 1Kosmos
1Kosmos solves the “Trust on First Use” problem which happens when users transition to new systems and must provide a username and password. This is a problem because any time a password is leveraged, the user’s true identity cannot be known.
The outdated, but familiar approach also creates a complicated and costly mix of people, processes, and Identity and Access Management (IAM) technology to support a perpetual cat-and-mouse game with red versus blue teams vying to prevent and gain access to knowledge, inherence, and possession factors.
But mostly, it has left organizations reeling from social engineering, phishing, and increasingly deepfake attacks on account credentials. At the same time, hackers have become adept at push bombing and SIM swaps to defeat multi-factor authentication (MFA).
The idea behind 1Kosmos is to not only eliminate passwords from the user interface, but to:
• Replace the user ID/password with a decentralized digital identity
• Make this identity as private and independent as users themselves
• Use this identity for passwordless MFA into any online service
In place of the user ID and password, 1Kosmos creates a much more durable artifact on enrollment that leverages Decentralized Identity (DCI), which serves not only as a unique identifier for an individual, but also as their digital wallet.
