Circle Access

Cryptographic Credential-free Authentication 

Our Credential-free Authentication (CFA) solution is built on a decentralized Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) architecture powered by our proprietary Circle Access API

It radically improves your security posture by cryptographically binding authentication of the user to an authorized endpoint device

Solution delivers CFA implementation with:

  • No code / low code implementation
  • Effortless to maintain 
  • Integration support for 15 programming languages 
  • Integrates with IAM platforms, MS Active Directory and more

Go beyond Passwords and MFA

Implement a breakthrough 360-degree Zero Trust Access solution or add it to your existing MFA in 30 minutes or less

Our CFA solution achieves authentication using 3 strong factors

1

Something You Have

  • Your mobile phone or other device

2

Something You Are

  • Biometric scanning to ensure the user on the device is the user who was authorized
  • Ability to protect & compare the original scan to prevent device hacks

3

Something You Do

  • Sign a cryptographic challenge with a private key that only your device possesses
  • Match a hash from an email or other PII data that was generated at the time of original authentication by the web server

Get started

Our CFA solution can be implemented using 3 UX options

  1. Circle Lite - No installation required on any device, browser-based configuration
  2. Circle Access Mobile - Install our mobile app, no footprint on any other device
  3. Circle Access Desktop - Install thin agent desktop application

Five easy steps to start with CFA

1

Create a Circle account

2

Get access to the Circle Access API keys

3

Select the CFA UX option that you'd like to deploy for your application

4

Follow the implementation steps specific to the chosen UX option you to configure CFA

5

Test the implementation and verify the user experience

For detailed implementation steps - click on start coding on the selected UX options or refer to -

With Circle Access Mobile & Circle Access Desktop, you can enable an additional but optional feature of Circle AccessLock. It's a simple library that allows displaying a lock screen using Circle Technology. This feature can be enabled when the user has multiple endpoint devices and can use Circle Access mobile app installed on phone to log in to another phone/tablet. This feature is currently available for Android devices.

For detailed implementation, steps click on Circle AccessLock 

Circle Access Demo

Interactive demo for Circle Access CFA implementation 

This is a simple demo of Circle Access, which enables frictionless Cryptographic CFA implementation. 

Circle Access has 3 UX options for end users, and automatically detects and adjusts to what the user has installed on the device. You can try all three in this demo
