Authentication & intent verification

Prove it is really you.

Verify the person. Verify the action. Verify the intent.

Secure authentication for people, businesses and the AI era. REAL AUTH lets participating applications and users confirm that the real, authorised person deliberately approved a specific login or request.

Proof of identity · Proof of device · Proof of intent

Approving asks your device to confirm it is you, locally. Your fingerprint or face never leaves the device.

What a login should actually establish

A password only proves that someone knew a password

REAL AUTH separates three questions that are usually collapsed into one, and answers them independently.

Proof of identity

Which account is being used, at what level of assurance, and does the person hold a credential that only they control?

Proof of device

Which trusted device is involved, is it known to the account, and is its key protected by the operating system rather than copied from somewhere else?

Proof of intent

Did the person see and approve this exact request — this site, this account, this role, this amount, this destination — rather than approving something in general?

The central idea

Change the question you are asking

Judging whether a message, a voice or a video looks real is getting harder every year. Asking whether the authorised person approved this exact request is a question that can still be answered.

Do not only ask

“Does this message, voice or person look real?”

Ask instead

“Can the real authorised person prove that they deliberately approved this exact request?”

Where REAL AUTH fits

Passwords, passkeys, and the layer above them

Layer one

Passwords prove what you know

And anything you know can be phished, reused, guessed or read from a breach. REAL AUTH still supports passwords for migration and limited recovery, but never recommends them as the primary method.

Layer two

Passkeys prove what you hold

A device-bound credential, unlocked locally by your face, fingerprint or PIN, that cannot be copied off the device or replayed on a look-alike domain. REAL AUTH uses WebAuthn and FIDO2 for this.

Layer three

REAL AUTH adds context and explicit approval

Which site is asking, which account and organisation, which role, which action, which exact values, and for how long. The approval is bound to those values, so it cannot be reused for a different request.

What REAL AUTH does not claim

REAL AUTH does not detect every scam, deepfake or phishing attempt, and it does not replace user awareness, anti-malware, email filtering or browser security. It adds an independent verification and approval channel where an organisation or person has integrated it.
