THELOGICALINDIAN - Ukrainian aggregation REMME has afresh appear the alpha body of its REMME Core 010 agreement which hopes to annihilate animal absurdity in the cybersecurity area by accepting rid of passwords entirely
Password administration is no joke. Despite the ever-expanding advances fabricated in cryptography over the years, poor countersign conduct charcoal the greatest weakness to avant-garde computer systems. Besides phishing attacks and calmly guessable passwords, users accept alike been apparent to accord up their passwords for a bar of chocolate.
Even the mightiest cybersecurity systems accept been brought to their knees by a distinct anemic password. Case in point: Equifax awfully absent the Social Security numbers of 143 actor Americans in September aftermost year for artlessly using the embarrassingly absence password admixture of ‘admin/admin’ in one of their online agent portals.
And yet, bodies are accepting no bigger at attention their own credentials. Considering the boilerplate being can now be accepted to advance at atomic dozens of accounts advance beyond amusing media, babble apps, gaming platforms, email, and alike assignment accounts, it’s little admiration that over 80% of people reclaim their passwords. The best readily-available fix is to apparatus a countersign manager, admitting studies appearance that actual few bodies absolutely use them.
The abiding solution? Bypass the countersign entirely.
That is what the REMME activity is acquisitive to accomplish with the contempo alpha absolution of their Access Management solution. A Ukrainian aggregation started in 2024, REMME intends to accomplish passwords anachronistic by brief the affidavit action on to the blockchain, thereby eliminating animal absurdity from the equation. This is actuality done application their broadcast REMME Public Key Infrastructure agreement (PKId) forth with a set of Access Management DApps congenital on top of it.
REMME’s Amount 0.1.0 Alpha absolution currently offers developers admission to the amount functionality of the protocol, which includes admission to the architectonics and high-level argumentation of alive with SSL/TLS certificates. It comes with a command-line interface (CLI) for developer’s gluttonous quick admission to the protocol’s axial features, such as arising and abandoning certificates and appointment REM tokens amid users. The basal elements of alive with the company’s REM badge accept additionally been integrated.
The protocol’s absolution comes adamantine on the heels of the company’s REM badge accessible ICO on February 13th, which aloft 19,343 ETH. The badge auction has already accomplished its adamantine cap of $20 actor USD and tokens are currently bound until February 25th at 14:00 UTC. The activity has already appear to the absorption of several companies including Ukrinmash, a allotment of the Accompaniment Concern Ukroboronprom, a large, accompaniment action tasked with managing Ukraine’s military-industrial complex.
REMME’s efforts becoming it acceptance at the Microsoft Blockchain Intensive captivated by Microsoft Ukraine in June 2017. The aggregation won aboriginal abode at the event’s blockchain-themed hackathon, area they acclimated REMME affidavit technology, IPFS protocol, and the Ethereum blockchain to body a cartage blow acquaintance and advertisement system. As a result, they fabricated off with a $10,000 activity grant, an allurement to the VivaTechnology appointment in Paris, and a business, legal, and business consulting arrangement from Ernst & Young Global Limited, a able casework aggregation based in London.
The activity began in 2015 afterward a alternation of cyber attacks which rocked several ample Ukrainian companies. By aboriginal 2016, the aboriginal bankrupt beta adaptation of the artefact was appear on the Emercoin blockchain. This was followed by a additional adaptation on top of the Bitcoin blockchain in 2017.
The team’s abutting ambition is to advance inter-blockchain badge clearing for the protocol’s abutting release. This will acquiesce the REM token, which is currently appear on the Ethereum platform, to be acclimated on their custom REMME blockchain. Accessible testing is slated to activate after this year, with a accessible absolution set afore the end of the year.
Are we entering a new age of cybersecurity? Will REMME assuredly get rid of the abhorrent countersign practices that accept appear to ascertain best above abstracts breaches? Let us apperceive in the comments below!
