Frequently asked questions

How do I contact Ironchip support?

Why don’t we keep the signature of safe places?

It is more secure, and it is not necessary. At Ironchip we believe that not storing it prevents the large-scale credential theft we might face in the future. Also, biometric solutions, although convenient, are not a very good approach to security: if they are stolen, no user can change them.

That is why we only keep a mathematical model, which is the solution for learning the set of signals. Once learned, the signals are erased.

Can I integrate?

Ironchip uses the most widely adopted security standards, such as SAML or OIDC (OpenID Connect), to integrate with your systems, either in Windows environments (Microsoft Active Directory) or through the management platform we provide. See the SAML and OIDC protocols.

On the user side, you can use an SDK to integrate Ironchip into your applications or, otherwise, the official Ironchip Location-Based Authentication app.
