What it is
LiveEnsure is a cloud service for contextual authentication across websites, apps, and sessions. Developers connect it to a login or other secured event through a REST/API integration, or use embeddable iOS and Android libraries. Users can authenticate by scanning a code, tapping, or handing off between apps. Supported factors include mobile device, location, geofence, time, knowledge, biometrics, behavior, gestures, Bluetooth devices, QR scans, taps, and challenge or one-time passwords. The service supports passwordless authentication and device trust controls. LiveEnsure says authentication does not send personal data over the internet or store or seed it on the device for reuse. Its multi-tenant Amazon EC2 environment is described with encryption at rest and in transit, VPNs, firewalls, monitoring, restrictive policies, and administrator multi-factor authentication. Developer demo keys are free for 30 days; end users can use the app free, while commercial accounts for paid services require contacting LiveEnsure.
