A single click on a smartphone is all that is required to capture highly customizable combinations of biometrics, user attributes and dynamic endpoint variables, resulting in the strongest possible identity verification possible.
iVALT verifies 5+ Factors of IDENTITY in one click on a mobile phone for enterprise access, customer interactions, physical access, IOT, and biometric identify verification of callers while on the phone. iVALT provides the highest levels of security by applying patented combinations of dynamic mobile and user context variables including:

A single click on a smartphone is all that is required to capture highly customizable combinations of biometrics, user attributes and dynamic endpoint variables, resulting in the strongest possible identity verification possible.
For the past few decades, we’ve been suffering from an identity crisis. Relentless data breaches, escalating hacker attacks, expensive ransomware demands, rampant identity theft, and now sophisticated deepfakes have made verifying identity extremely challenging for enterprises and individuals alike. At the heart are two fundamental problems: 1) definitively identifying the person requesting access to resources and assets, and 2) proving the identity of who is at the other end of a phone call or text message in real-time. iVALT solves both of these problems with 5+ Factors of IDENTITY, captured and verified in 1-click on your mobile phone. iVALT’s vision is to provide a single, highly secure mobile identity (including biometrics) that can be used by anyone, for any application, at any time, and from any location.
Baldev Krishan, PhD, and Brian Stout founded iVALT to develop a mobile solution to these identity challenges with an innovative approach that goes far beyond usernames, passwords, and even the addition of two-factor authenticator apps. iVALT embraces the enterprise ZERO TRUST approach of “trust nothing, verify everything”, where “everything” consists of five or more unique and customizable factors of identity. These factors can be combined based on risk profiles for specific use cases or prioritized by AI/Machine Learning models to optimize identity and user protection. This patented approach, called 1-Click to ZERO TRUST™, includes biometrics with other factors to ensure highly secure identity and creates a formidable hacking challenge in one click—something no one else in the $30 billion identity market can currently provide. iVALT is working with post quantum encryption partners to bring the strongest data transport security as well.
Over $170B was spent last year in cybersecurity, yet some of the biggest failures came from the “weakest link in cybersecurity” – a simple phone call by a hacker. Before iVALT, there was no way to decisively identify the person at the other end of a phone call. Caller ID is easily spoofed, SIM swaps are common, KYC can be compromised and hackers are highly skilled in just using psychological manipulation to get what they want. The iVALT mobile app empowers customer facing workers to demand clear identity on any call (including biometrics) in 1-click. If enterprises implement iVALT, most social engineering attacks could be stopped before any real damage can be done. It is time to give the right tools to employees, customers and individuals to stop fake callers. iVALT goes further in stopping deepfake calls, that are simply AI-generated familiar voices that hackers use to make their jobs even easier.
With five patents granted and ten pending, iVALT is uniquely positioned to provide enterprises with the strongest level of identity verification and access management at scale. The key is iVALT doesn’t rely on any single attribute of a person, not even biometrics, since AI technology is already compromising biometric solutions. Instead, iVALT surrounds biometrics with unique “context” variables that can’t be easily guessed—much less hacked. These five factors of identity include device ID, user set geofencing and time windowing, as well as unique application IDs and other dynamic variables that can only be verified from the mobile phone when at an approved endpoint. In this way, iVALT offers the strongest form of ZERO TRUST Identity: “trust nothing, verify everything.”
Anyone can demand callers to identify themselves with iVALT. OnDemand ID and 1-Click to ZERO TRUST™ use the same authentication engine and mobile app. When someone identifies themselves, their 5+ factors are passed to the person on the connection or to the application they are accessing. In either case, the data sent by the mobile app can be used to definitively verify the person's identity.
