Our Advantage
The 1Kosmos 1Key Advantage
1Key delivers a convenient biometric authentication experience for shared workstations and multiple kiosk systems and supports interoperability across associated operating environments and business applications.
This approach eliminates passwords for endpoint login, applications, and other digital services. Users simply register once on any device and then log into any supported device or service using any one of up to 10 fingerprint scans per individual.
1Key is a FIDO-compliant token unlike any other. Not only is 1Kosmos FIDO2 authentication certified by the FIDO Alliance, but because 1Key supports unlimited users, organizations deploy one per workstation/kiosk. This delivers significant cost savings compared to purchasing and distributing FIDO keys for each user, only to have them forget, break, or lose the keys.
Once a user is registered, 1Key can be utilized for Windows or web login without requiring separate registration. Move to a different workstation, not a problem. No device-level re-registration is required.
1Key is a component of the 1Kosmos platform that provides several advantages over traditional password-based authentication, including enhanced security, improved usability, and better resistance to phishing attacks.
1Kosmos utilizes public key cryptography, so even if a user’s credentials are compromised, an attacker would not be able to use them without also having access to the user’s public/private keys.
1Key authentication frees organizations from purchasing and distributing FIDO keys for each user.
Three form factors suited to the needs of your business.
Desktop Biometric Security Key
- Wired USB 2.0 Type-A connectivity
- Manufactured with impact-resistant composite for durability on high-use, shared workstations / kiosks
- Supports register-once, use anywhere for biometric authentication of unlimited users
Mobile Biometric Security Key
- Provides same capabilities as desktop model, but in a smaller, more portable form factor for one-touch access
- Lower cost than desktop model
- USB 2.0 Type-A connectivity
Security Key
- Low cost replacement for traditional physical token
- Ideally suited for environments requiring basic possession-factor authentication-assurance
- Dual USB / micro-USB plug compatible
Open, scalable and interoperable.
1Kosmos 1Key provides a passwordless authentication approach for organizations where workers are dynamically assigned a workspace such as hoteling work stations, clean rooms, and secure compartmented information facilities.
Passwordless access.
Leveraging 1Kosmos 1Key gives organizations a way to enforce access controls, improve user experience and ensure auditability to the individual, even if many users share access to the same account.
Simple registration.
Users will register their biometrics at the time of onboarding and will then have passwordless access to any supported device, application or environment. The register once- use-anywhere approach accelerates onboarding and eliminates passwords for enrolled users.
Compatibility & usability.
Enrolled users authenticate with their enrolled fingerprint for passwordless authentication.
