CogniKey removes the credential there is to steal. We inject cryptographic proof that a specific enrolled human, not just a valid token, consciously authorized the action right now.
Traditional IAM assumes token possession equals human intent. We wedge an irrefutable cryptographic commitment layer between your identity provider and your application logic.
Confirms who is logging in based on conventional credentials, SSO, or OAuth flows.
Proves that a specific human consciously authorized this exact action, right now. No stored secrets, no biometrics to deepfake. Pure cognitive commitment.
Action proceeds and stores a signed, irrefutable proof in your secure audit log for compliance and forensics.
We don't buy corporate banner ads. We engage directly on the frontlines of cybersecurity infrastructure. Our engineers actively participate in subreddits like r/cybersecurity and r/sysadmin, addressing real-time MFA bypass threats, session hijacks, and AI token generation exploits with raw, verifiable human logic.
Tokens are just strings. If the proxy gets the string, the attacker has the session. Biometrics just unlock the device, they don't prove the user intended the specific API call.
Exactly. This is why we built CogniKey. We treat authorization as a cognitive commitment problem, not a possession problem.
Instead of verifying a token that a proxy can intercept, the user completes a cognitive challenge that generates a one-time cryptographic proof of intent for that specific action payload. The proof is mathematically tied to the human's memory—no secret ever traverses the wire.
