We understand that good security solutions are user-centric, and that low-friction solutions are paramount to usable application security. MFKDF2 securely derives cryptographic keys from multiple authentication factors while achievinguser indistinguishability, meaning that applications become meaningfully harder to attack while users notice no difference at all.
MFKDF2 is fully backward compatible with existing, commonly used factors such as passwords, hardware tokens, and biometrics, ensuring that users don't have to learn new technologies and can continue to use factors they are familiar with.

Multifactor's “Switchboard” technology suite uniquely enables trustless enforcement across authentication, authorization, and auditing, transforming typically weak, software-defined enforcement into strong, cryptographically backed guarantees.

Multifactor's “Checkpoint” technology uniquely enables online resources to be shared by multiple users in a way that is immediately revocable, non-repudiable, and fine-grained, without requiring any changes to the underlying application being shared.
