LiveEnsure provides contextual authentication for websites, apps, and sessions through a cloud service.
What LiveEnsure is
LiveEnsure provides contextual authentication for websites, apps, and sessions through a cloud service. Developers can connect its API to a login or another secured event, or use embeddable libraries for iOS and Android. Authentication can check a mobile device, location, geofence, time, knowledge, biometrics, behavior, gestures, Bluetooth devices, QR scans, taps, or a challenge or one-time password. Users can authenticate by scanning a code, tapping, or moving between apps. The service supports passwordless authentication and device trust controls. LiveEnsure says authentication does not send personal data over the internet or store it on the device for later reuse. Its service runs in a multi-tenant Amazon EC2 environment; its security policy describes encryption at rest and in transit, network protections, and multifactor authentication for administrative access. Developer demo keys are free for 30 days. Commercial use for paid apps, online services, or e-commerce sites requires a commercial account, with pricing on request.
