Let's be honest, we all forget passwords. It’s a huge pain! But here's a startling fact: surveys show that up to 60% of your customers might be using the same password for your business as they use for their email or social media.

This common habit creates a massive security risk. Verizon reports that 80% of hacking breaches relate to password problems. This not only puts users at risk but can also cost businesses a fortune and damage their reputation.

The solution? Decentralized authentication. Specifically, using decentralized face authentication makes access effortless for your customers while keeping your business's security fortress strong. Imagine happy, secure customers logging in with a simple scan—that's a true win-win!

Passwords vs. centralized systems vs. decentralized authentication

To appreciate the benefits of decentralized authentication, let's look at why traditional methods fail:

• The problem with passwords: Usernames and passwords are the traditional way to access accounts, but they are inherently flawed. They lead to forgotten logins, phishing scams, and the constant need to create complex, hard-to-remember combinations. When a data breach occurs, these credentials are easy targets.

• The Single Sign-On (SSO) trap: SSO lets users access multiple apps with one login, which is convenient. However, it creates a single point of failure. If the SSO system is compromised, hackers gain the keys to everything. Plus, it forces users to trust large third-party companies with their unified login data.

• The biometric privacy risk: Some companies use face or fingerprint scanning. While these are more secure than passwords, centralized biometric systems pose a major privacy risk. Storing millions of user biometrics on a single company server creates a huge target for hackers. A single breach could expose the sensitive data of every user.

How decentralized authentication changes the game

Decentralized face authentication is the champion for both security and privacy. Instead of storing sensitive login credentials or full biometric data on company servers, it uses a privacy-first approach based on:

1. Fragmentation: The user's biometric template is instantly broken into several encrypted pieces (shares).

2. Distribution: These shares are then distributed and securely stored across a decentralized network of independent nodes (servers).

3. No Single Key: Crucially, no single node holds the complete biometric template.

4. Verification: Logging in requires a sufficient number of these authorized nodes (a pre-defined threshold, e.g., 3 out of 5) to communicate and validate authentication.

This means the user's biometric data is never stored whole, making it practically untouchable by hackers targeting a single server. This strong, multi-layered process provides irrefutable proof that the person logging in is truly the registered user. Furthermore, advanced features like liveness detection can be added to verify the person is real, not just a scammer using a photo or video.

Decentralized authentication truly prioritizes user privacy and delivers an unparalleled combination of effortless convenience and robust security.
