It is high time that everyone encrypt their e-mail communication, that every app shares user and group information with others and foremost: lets get rid of paswords that a dictionary atack can crack.
How does authentigate suggest to solve these problems?
- offer a centralised and shareable "LDAP like" database for linking tenants and their users and groups to applications
- provide a simple plattform for managing group membership for users
- allow trust (with limits) relationships between authentigate servers
- manage a private and public key for every user and group
- allow users who have lost access to their account to have it unlocked by a trusted third party (e.g a friend or familly member)
- allow linking accounts from any provider like google, twitter, facebook, OpenID, persona and many more
- leverage such services as Gravatar
- manage passwords for any web-site and application
- a browser plugin allows to generate and use the password
- a password manager for Windows, OS/X, Linux, iOS, Android allows to use the passwords in native applications
