FACTION PROTOCOL: It is impossible to see or connect to a Faction Network until invited and authenticated by the Faction owner.
Internet Protocol is Fundamentally Vulnerable #
With Internet Protocol, network addresses and traffic are visible, and connections are insecure by default. So Web servers and gateways are all visible for study and attack, and must have centralized controls and active defenses to monitor and protect them.
Faction Protocol Addresses the Root Causes of Networking Insecurity #
If you are serious about protecting your privacy and security, you need to first address this vulnerability at the foundation of everything you do online.
Secure by Default Because Connection Initiated by Owner #
It is impossible to see or connect to a Faction Network until invited and authenticated by the Faction owner. Only until and if the Faction Owner gives a user the key – via our direct out-of-band authentication method – can that user see and join the Network. Plus the Faction Owner can still take the key back any time!
Direct, Out-of-Band Authentication #
Credentials and even most forms of 2FA are not safe! Faction uses ONLY a direct, out-of-band, person-to-person system of authentication that is impervious to even the most sophisticated attacks.
Invisible to the Internet #
Faction Protocol, while your Faction Network runs OVER the Internet, nothing is visible to any servers or actors on the Internet. It simply is not visible until you are given the key. This eliminates all the methods of surveillance, observation and study that are enabled by the vulnerability of Internet Protocol.
A New and Better Way to Internet #
Web Sites and Application Developers Can Use Faction to Power Private Networks #
The ‘public sphere’ of the Internet is an amazing resource that will continue to bring many benefits. But it comes with vulnerabilities that are almost as unlimited as its possibilities. Attempting to restrict access to authenticated users and customers, Web sites and application developers are engaged in an endless game of ‘whack-a-mole’ trying to fend off external bad actors. The harder you try, the more complex and painful the fixes become for
With Faction each Web site and application developer can create a private network just for their customers and users – and as many private groups as desired – with a painless UX, zero overhead and headaches.
