PassWindow is...

  • An incredibly simple, yet also extremely secure dynamic password solution
  • Free from client hardware or software, requires no batteries and cannot malfunction
  • Able to securely authenticate the client to the server AND the server to the client
  • Able to transmit transaction information securely to the user through the visual challenge
  • Secure against trojans, viruses, phishing, keyloggers, social engineering, and MITM attacks

PassWindow has been evaluated in an independent whitepaper.

How does it work?

  • PassWindow is a unique key pattern printed on a transparent section of a standard identity card.
  • Users simply hold their card over a generated pattern image on any display to reveal a new series of digits – a single-use password.
  • Users enter this new unique password to authenticate securely.
  • Unusual monitor sizes are easily handled with a simple adjustment of the challenge image which is then saved to a cookie or user database. Try it yourself with our online demo!

Potential applications

PassWindow can be used whenever strong, cost effective, and secure authentication is required:

  • Online banking; online cloud-computing services; online shopping
  • User logins; online membership
  • Document authentication
  • Product packaging for customer authentication
  • Payment cards, identity cards, medicare cards, company cards, club cards, gift cards, prize cards, political voting cards...

PassWindow benefits

PassWindow on mobile phone
  • Do away with password memorization – 2FA authentication obviates necessity for passwords.
  • Usable on any electronic display – PCs, laptop, mobiles – no specialized software or hardware required.
  • Works with all graphical operating systems and web browsers
  • Disaster proof – PassWindow can continue to operate without Internet, communications, or even electricity. Users simply authenticate off printed challenge patterns using their same card keys.
  • No need to redirect the user away from your website for third-party verification – PassWindow challenge patterns are delivered directly from your own secure web server.
  • Excellent fallback protection for security questions, which are currently the weakest security link in many authentication systems.
  • Extremely durable, no flexing problems with internal electronics, waterproof and pressure proof.
  • Unlimited working life – no batteries or electronics, so lifespan is not limited to battery life.
  • Easy to understand – With most software and hardware authentication systems being beyond the understanding of the average user, authentication acceptance and online trust levels are low – PassWindow provides a security mechanism that even children can easily understand.

News highlights

ShieldPass reviewed

7 December 2011: IT security expert and professional penetration tester Daniel Compton today reviewed ShieldPass, a hosted PassWindow authentication service.
For small companies who can’t afford massive authentication systems, this is where I see this being a great solution. For $9 you have a solution knowing that only your card (and your existing password) can gain access into the admin panel. Every time you login it is using a unique one time password...

New hosted PassWindow service launched

ShieldPass, a new personal authentication service, launched: ShieldPass is a low cost personal online authentication service that uses a PassWindow authentication system. Cards costing as little as $7 per user are supplied for personal use.
