Verified and Authenticated

StraussKey® is a patented process in which a registered user can develop and maintain a secure online profile. This profile contains the users signature as a series of computer-executable codes across encrypted distributed networks. What does this mean? Users will no longer need to remember multiple passwords or site keys to access important information or accounts. Moreover, StraussKey® has multi-factor authentication in conjunction with its biometric signature authentication.

A persons signature or, handwriting is a true form of biometrics. Although popular today, other forms of biometrics used by cellphone companies or web based entities – retina, fingerprint, voice, facial – can all be replicated or cause end  user complications during proper access. Signature biometrics is primarily defined as behavioral biometric as it is a unique physical expression but also one that is learned over time. Such characteristics makes behavioral biometrics favorable due to their uniqueness in difficulty in replication. When such characteristics are combined with unique multi-factor pluralities, the risk factor of possible duplication or fraud is reduced exponentially to nearly a non-existent factor.

Unlike other signature recognition programs, StraussKey® utilizes a patented process to authenticate the true handwriting or signature of a user without scanning a flat image for similarities, rather it calculates defined algorithmic properties, encrypted across a distributed immutable ledger for safe keeping. Also, unlike other applications, StraussKey® does not save or store the users actual handwriting or signature, not as an image or a file. Rather, the initial true signature creation is defined in real-time while creating a user profile.

This unique process will lead way for many industries look to or needing to truly authenticate a person whether online or in person. Transportation industry, Shipping and Cargo, Finance, Medical, Educational, Govermental and many more. Through StraussKey® signing for loans or certified documents can now be verified and authenticated instantaneously, have the transaction activity recorded on an immutable ledger and serve as legal and binding. Therefore, remote transactions such as contracts and bank loans, large purchases or other negotiations can take place without having to leave a mobile device or step into a brick and mortar location – all while reducing fraud, costs and providing more transparency to all parties.
