Pay Factor Authentication

FIDO2 Passkeys + Smart-Contract Enforcement

Every protected access attempt requires committed value.

This shifts the economics of identity security — and moves risk to the attacker.

AuthLN’s Pay Factor Authentication (PFA) is a FIDO2 Passkey stored safely in the secure enclave of a device. The passkey acts as payment to satisfy the Smart-Contract Invoice.

Pay Factor Authentication moves cybersecurity from reactive defense to proactive deterrence.

By embedding cost directly into authentication, AuthLN shifts the risk to attackers while keeping organizations in command of their digital front door.

Telemetry & Intelligence

AuthLN’s Pay Factor Authentication (PFA) captures full-spectrum telemetry across network and device-level data, identity events, and Proof-of-Work economics — including proof cost, latency, attacker spend, and fraud patterns — all visualized through built-in dashboards.

Every authentication and access event contributes to a unified telemetry layer that delivers measurable assurance, compliance-ready audit trails, and deep visibility into the economics of trust across your organization.

Early Breach Indicators

AuthLN’s Early Breach Indicators provide organizations with proactive warning signals of potential intrusions — often before any system logs a breach event. Failed Pay Factor validations, unusual payment attempt patterns, and repeated economic signals reveal attacker behavior at the authentication boundary.

Front-door alerts before attackers succeed.

  • Predict and block intrusions before credential abuse succeeds.

  • Gain pre-breach visibility through continuous Proof-of-Work telemetry.

  • Trigger automated responses to isolate malicious patterns instantly.

Experience authentication that changes the economics of cyber attacks. AuthLN introduces a proof-of-work payment challenge to identity verification, allowing authorized users to log in normally while forcing attackers to risk real money to attempt access.
