The recent data breach in Facebook was one of the biggest attacks in the history of internet technology. That incident revealed the fact that internet security is still the biggest myth and your information is not completely secure.

The security is one of the biggest concern for everyone and companies are ready to pay millions of dollar to secure their system against possible attack. All the big companies are trying new authentication method to verify the users. [Remme](https://remme.io/)is one of the companies that has come with a brilliant idea which might solve our problem once for all.

**Current Situation and problem**

Today&#39;s, method of password-based authentication are not perfect. If the attacker steals your password then he will be able to access all your data. It&#39;s a common habit of everyone to use the same password on multiple sites meaning if attackers get the password then he or she can access your data from multiple sites.

Let&#39;s look at various problems in today&#39;s authentication system-

- Often users tell their password to each other
- Because of powerful processors and GPU, brute force attack has become easy
- Most of the users use a common phrase like birthdate, mobile no as their password which is way easier to guess.
- The idea of using password manager is also not secure as in case you lose your master password, the attacker can access all your account

In all the above methods, the central point is the trusted certification authority.

**What is Remme?**

[Remme](https://remme.io/)wants to create a world without password authentication using blockchain technology. Remme combines distributed public key infrastructure technology with decentralized apps. The combined use of this technology will provide secure, password-free access to virtually anything.

What does it mean for common users like us? Well, in simple words, you do not need to remember count of your login and password.

**Why Remme?**

[Remme](https://remme.io/)wishes to change certain things like-

- Fake certification issuance
- Use of hidden certificates which try to intercept and redirect connections.
- Need to trust on centralized certification authority
- certification authority keys being compromised

Let&#39;s have a quick look at various advantages of Remme

- Use of decentralized database eliminates the central point of failure
- Easy integration of Remme API&#39;s in existing systems
- No additional fees for different certificates
- Fast and protected public key distribution process
- One can track all the issues certificates which will bring transparency in the system

**How do Remme works?**

[Remme](https://remme.io/)uses bitcoin protocol to provide secure authentication. Each of the issued certificates is bound with an output of certain bitcoin transaction. The certificate becomes invalid when this output is spent. These certificates also store a digital signature (defined by Remme standard) and bitcoin address of certificate holder. Let&#39;s dig deeper to understand how the process works-

- At first key pair is generated
- A bitcoin transaction is created which will be used for revocation management
- A certificate is created according to Remme&#39;s standards
- The canary string is created
- Owner of the certificate signs the canary string and add it to the certificate
- Then, the owner has to sign the certificate.

As a user, you can check the validity of certificates using the following step-

- Get the certificate
- Ensure that the associated transaction output is not spent
- Form the canary string from the certificate data
- Verify the signature using bitcoin verify message function.

Remme blockchain uses the latest Proof of Service consensus for high throughput and security.

**Remme coin ICO**

[Remme](https://remme.io/)tokens (REM) are used for various operations within Remme ecosystem like initializing a certificate creation process, enabling a certificate revocation process and many more.

There are a total of 1 billion REM tokens. The company has set a soft cap of $480,000 and a hard cap of $20 million (public sale). The tokens will be sold at a rate of 1 REM =$0.04 USD.

Out of the total tokens, 50% will be available for sale, 20% for the team and founders, 20% for partners and advisors and remaining 10% will be a reserve fund.

**Remme and it&#39;s future**

Security is one of the biggest concern for everyone and Remme wants to help organizations protect sensitive data. They have come up with a brilliant idea and all now is left is to implement them in real-world scenarios. Certainly, the path will not be easy for Remme as hackers will be looking to get a way around their system. We will have to wait to see how Remme copes up with the upcoming challenges.
