Pain points

In the rapidly evolving landscape of smart buildings, ensuring uninterrupted and secure communication between devices is paramount. During an emergency, it is crucial to provide first responders with physical access through gates and doors of a smart building without compromising security. However, several pain points hinder optimal performance and security.

- Dependency on Intermediate Hardware

Traditional IoT aggregators rely on multiple wireless routers and gateways (e.g., Wi-Fi) to access devices. During emergencies, these intermediaries may be disrupted due to power outages or equipment malfunctions, preventing commands from reaching their destinations.

- Scalability Challenges

High costs are an issue because increasing the number of hardware components, such as routers and switches, raises both initial and ongoing expenses. The inflexibility of pre-set network planning complicates future adjustments and expansions.

- Reliability Concerns

Ensuring constant availability of communication channels is challenging, making them unreliable. Unsecured communication channels expose systems to potential security vulnerabilities.

Market Need for a New Authentication Solution

⇛ Proliferation of IoT Devices : Many IoT devices lack robust security measures due to oversight during product development. OTAC provides a dynamic, one-time-use code, ensuring strong security.

⇛ Mitigating Inherent Risks : Hackers can target IoT devices, risking command control takeover and firmware attacks. OTAC effectively counters both threats.

⇛ Cost-Effective Security : OTAC is a cost-effective solution compared to other IoT security measures.

⇛ Low Compute Requirements :The lightweight OTAC applet can be deployed on low-compute IoT devices, ensuring swift and efficient operation.

⇛ Software-Only Solution : OTAC eliminates the need for additional hardware, reducing costs and complexity.

Why OTAC

OTAC, developed by SSenStone, is the original technology that provides all of the following features at the same time.

OTAC is a dynamic code, which means the code keeps changing. As a result, you don’t need to worry about any leak of your personal information, such as your card details, because the codes must have already been changed when others try to use them.
The network connection is NOT necessary at all for generating OTAC.

Reducing an authentication stage that requires the network connection directly means there are fewer gateways for the hackers to access our personal information.

Moreover, this feature enables users to authenticate even when they are in networkless environments, such as on the plane, underground, rural or foreign areas.
swIDch can guarantee that the code never duplicates with anyone at any given moment.

There is NO chance of someone else having the same code.
The users or their devices can be identified with the code alone.

Once OTAC has been generated, providing OTAC alone is already fully sufficient to identify the user as the code is unique.

It means, you can forget about the bundles of static information including IDs and passwords.
