Non Linear Authentication

Thanks to Shahram Karimian from MSK Security for submitting this video about their new technology to SecurityTube.

In his own words: "We go through the process of Non-Linear authentication and how it works. Non-Linear Authentication removes the username and password entry fields from the website. This step eliminates the attacks against username and password entry fields such as: SQL Injection, Key Loggers, Phishing, Pharming and Man-in-The-Middle attacks. I will upload a video that goes through the technical aspects as well very soon. If you have any questions on the security or potential attacks please feel free to email me." You can reach him at sk [] msksecurity.com for further queries.

Info about them: MSK Security is designed to prevent all of the common website and consumer attack mechanisms without the need for complex or cumbersome systems. The patent pending “Non-Linear Authentication Technology” removes the username and password entry fields from the website. This step eliminates the attacks against username and password entry fields such as: SQL Injection, Key Loggers, Phishing, Pharming and Man-in-The-Middle attacks.

I always get excited about disruptive technologies which challenge conventional thinking and processes. This seems to be one of them. Visit their site for more details about the technology. They also seem to have a 30 Day Free Trail of their technology, which I am planning to try out very soon. Have a look!
