Always worried about authentication methods using OTPs and passwords. SAWO comes to the rescue here..

SAWO stands for Secure Authentication Without OTP which provides a one-tap authentication service that is secure, rapid and sustainable.

The three main pillars on which SAWO is based are TRUST,SECURITY,RETURNS.

TRUST as SAWO is end-to-end encrypted and does not save any personal data of the user. It is also coupled with highly secure open standards working on Public Key Cryptography.

SECURITY as neither private data has to travel the internet nor any login credential has to be stored in a server thus removing software vulnerabilities possessed by standard processes.

RETURNS as the SAWO product is ready to be integrated within 6 minutes and thus making sure you invest crucial hours to develop your product. Also, a one-step process which takes 0.06 seconds only serves the users the experience they deserve and thus driving down the bounce rates and driving conversions.

Working Of SAWO

The hidden layer between user and platform is SAWO SDK

1.User Registration: The user is identified on the initial registration process to help the client identify the data related to the user’s identity and numerous details.

Two keys a public key and a private key are given to the user, the user’s device will retain the private key and register the public key to the service. Basically, SAWO is based on the Fast Identity Online Protocols which add another layer so that you do not provide information that can be used by different online services to collaborate and track a user across the services.

2.User Login: SAWO has its own secure and fun way here, the server sends a challenge to the user’s device, authentication is done by the client device by using the private key and proving possession, this signing of challenge can only happen through user device and thus making it secure and at the same time eliminating the need for passwords.

For privacy SAWO uses OAuth protocols integrated through which it makes sure that for authenticated access to unrelated services and servers no sharing of the initial login credentials happens.

Advantages of using SAWO in your projects

We are always stressed about remembering passwords and security. SAWO onboards users without any passwords or OTPs, thus making the process hassle-free, quick and secure. Strong cryptography-based authenticator which has a higher success rate than OTPs, passwords, and social logins is used. Stakeholders are provided with data anomaly.

The differentiators:

Decreases Bounce Rate: SAWOs rapid and secure login process enables you to improve customer onboarding by 54%

Multi-platform Support: SAWO offers easy integration and support with all popular web, cloud, VPN, remote access gateway etc.

Biometric Authentication: SAWO gives you the access to use your devices powers to the optimum, the independence to use their choice of power be it using their fingerprint or IRIS or their voice even is given.

Data Autonomy: With SAWO you have the power to control which data you want to share, with all being powered by SAWOs SDK and coupled with end-to-end encryption.
