FireID

FireID produces an authentication system intended to simplify the process of establishing a secure connection to online resources. Specifically, FireID’s mobile application allows mobile phones to generate one-time-passwords on demand, replacing static passwords or cumbersome conventional authentication solutions.

When a user needs a password to login to a FireID protected resource, such as a Microsoft Windows login, a VPN, or a website, a new random one-time-password is generated by the user on their mobile phone instantaneously using the FireID token application. No SMS or Internet activity is required.

The FireID server, which can integrate directly into a variety of systems, networks and resources, authorizes the one-time-password when the user logs in. The password then expires immediately.

FireID generates secure one-time-passwords instantaneously and completely offline using something that users always have with them: a mobile phone.

After a simple installation process, a FireID enabled phone can generate OTPs for limitless different applications, such as online banking, Internet shopping and accessing an office VPN or extranet. Because no external sources are required to generate OTPs, the opportunities for Internet fraud of any kind are significantly reduced.

FireID is designed for anyone from private users who want to perform Internet transactions as securely as possible, all the way up to large corporations that depend on access to their VPNs, servers and websites being strictly controlled.

FireID is a highly SECURE AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM that can be easily downloaded onto almost any mobile phone in just a few minutes, allowing users to instantly generate their own OTPs wherever personal authentication is required.
