Core Design Primitives

Why it's safe by design.

No Shared Secrets

Authentication uses asymmetric keys (Ed25519/X25519). Only public keys leave the device.

Device-Bound Identity

Requests bind to a device key fingerprint. Intercepted links are useless.

Biometric Presence

Biometrics required to open the app and again to create/approve requests.

Proof-of-Possession

Every step uses a fresh, one-time challenge signed by the device key.

Contextual Approval

Owners see device name, platform, and attestation before approving.

Short-Lived Nonces

Invites and challenges expire quickly and cannot be reused.

Tamper Detection

If the app is modified, it bricks itself and alerts the server.

Minimal Data

No passwords stored. Public key fingerprints are useless without the private key.

Eliminated Attack Vectors

QuantumPass removes entire classes of attacks by design.

Credential phishing No passwords/OTPs to steal.
Credential stuffing Nothing to guess; no shared secret.
Password DB breaches We never store passwords.
Password reuse Not applicable; keys are per device.
SIM-swap/OTP interception No SMS/email OTPs used.
Email-based resets No resettable shared secret.
Static bearer token theft Grants are bound to device keys.
QR/invite interception Unusable without private key.
Replay attacks One-time nonces; server rejects replays.
Keylogger theft No credentials are typed.
Server exfiltration Nothing to exfiltrate that grants access.
Brute-forcing invites Non-enumerable + rate-limits + TTL.

Greatly Reduced Risks

Residual risks are mitigated with strict controls.

Stolen Device

Hardware-backed keys, biometric gating, instant revocation, remote wipe.

Compromised Owner

Approvals encrypted to requester key; optional 2FA for high-risk scopes.

MITM Pairing

TLS + invite signatures + PoP on claim + single-use, short TTL invites.

Insider Breach

No private keys stored; encrypted envelopes useless without device keys; HSM signing.

Notification Leak

Minimal content; owner must open app (biometric) to act.

Social Engineering

Clear device metadata, contextual warnings, optional out-of-band verification.

Control → Threat Mapping

How specific controls block specific threats.

Device-bound keys + PoP Blocks phishing, replay, bearer token theft.
Encrypted grants (HPKE) Blocks approval/DB interception use.
Biometric gating Blocks unattended requests/approvals.
No shared secrets Eliminates password/OTP classes entirely.
Tamper detection Blocks modified clients and key extraction.
Short TTLs + nonces Blocks replay and race attacks.
RBAC + HSM + encryption Reduces insider/DB breach impact.
Audit trails + revocation Limits blast radius of compromise.

What's in Our Database?

We prioritize privacy by minimizing data at rest.

Stored

Public key fingerprints, invite/grant metadata, encrypted envelopes.

Never Stored

Passwords, private keys, reusable tokens, OTP seeds.

Breach Outcome: Attackers cannot authenticate or decrypt grants without the device private key.

Security Features Catalog

Fully integrated controls protecting every session.

Certificate Pinning
Active

React Native banking and QR apps pin SHA-256 public keys for every QuantumPass domain, blocking MITM proxies, forged CAs, and SSL interception.

Root & Jailbreak Detection
Active

Device integrity service halts execution on compromised Android/iOS builds (su/magisk checks, filesystem probes) to keep trojans out.

Hardware Binding
Active

Hardware-ID resolution chain maps each helper device to the owner’s site-specific hardware IDs before a session is created.

Biometric-First Auth
Active

Server requires biometric proof, surfaces role labels, and resolves usernames on-demand before creating the MISA session.

Domain Isolation
Active

Sign-in and QR lookups only send site-scoped hardware IDs. Raw device IDs stay server-side, removing cross-site tracking vectors.

API Rate Limiting
Active

Tiered limiter guards authentication and session creation with sliding windows and automatic blocklists to stop brute force attacks.

Competitive Analysis

How QuantumPass compares to traditional authentication providers.

QuantumPass Advantages

  • Hardware-Bound Sessions (MISA)

    Every session is bound to device hardware + biometric + domain. Tokens are useless if stolen.

  • Zero-Credential Auth

    No passwords to phish, brute-force, or breach. 80% of attack vectors eliminated.

  • Domain Isolation

    Unique identities for every site. Prevents cross-site tracking and contains breaches.

  • Proactive Anti-Phishing

    Server-side validation blocks authentication to unregistered domains before credentials are at risk.

Competitor Weaknesses

  • Bearer Token Vulnerability

    Auth0, Okta, Google: Stolen tokens can be replayed from any device.

  • Phishable Credentials

    Password + MFA models are still vulnerable to real-time phishing proxies.

  • Client-Side Trust

    Competitors often trust client claims about security posture, which can be spoofed.

  • Cross-Site Tracking

    Single device ID used across all sites allows for massive user tracking.
