Remme in a Nutshell
Remme is a cyber security blockchain company that aims to establish an impenetrable, intuitive, and flawless user authentication layer to protect individuals and businesses from data breaches.
It does this by eliminating passwords altogether. Yes you heard right. There is no need to remember passwords to your countless crypto, social media, banking, etc. accounts any more. It is too cumbersome to remember so many passwords. And password accounts are easy targets of hackers, since these are stored on centralized databases. How often have you come across news of supposedly secured organisations being compromised. Equifax? Yahoo? Ebay? How about Adult Friend Finder?
With Remme's First-in-the-World passwordless authentication solution, we will be able to achieve a smoother and uninterrupted authentication experience across all applications.
Remme’s Solution
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
It is a distributed Public Key Infrastructure (“PKI”) management technology built on top of the X.509 certificate standard that uses SSL/TLS to protect the entire channel from an attack.
To first understand how Remme intends to implement its very own PKI authentication solution, we first need to have basic knowledge of PKI. To put it simply:
PKIs are necessary to help ascertain the identity of different people, devices, and services… employing cryptographic technologies... to digitally sign documents transactions, and software to prove the source as well as the integrity of those materials
Public Blockchain
Furthermore, Remme’s cyber security solution is powered by the public blockchain, thus taking advantage of its many hack-resilient features like zero knowledge storage, encryption, privacy, and security.
Because Remme utilizes both the blockchain and PKI, it is meshing the Best of Both Worlds.
Two Factor Authentication (2FA)
The two-factor authentication is an additional layer of security ensuring that only the owner of the account can access it, even if the private SSL/TLS certificate key has been compromised.
Did I say Best of Both Worlds? Make that Best of 3 Worlds! Boom! Remme is not only bringing blockchain to the PKI infrastructure, it is also adding another layer (2FA) to further solidify what is already impenetrable.
REMME WebAuth Demo
All the above are what’s happening at the back-end. What about the user experience? Remme promises quick and easy access, with just a few clicks for registration and setting up your account.
You should view the great guide on how to test the REMME WebAuth demo on Windows OS by a fellow Remme enthusiast @culgin - here.

Thank you for reading. Share your thoughts on Remme’s passwordless authenication solution. Is this the safest and best solution?
Nice article as usual my friend and thanks for the mention! Unlike many other blockchain projects, REMME is trying to solve a real world problem. I hope they succeed and people realize their value soon.
You are the inspiration to write this article on Remme. They are moving in the right direction. Market is illogical, but real solutions will always be appreciated at the end of the day.
Congratulations @mrshev!

With much thanks @arcange
I sure do hope that they plan on having a hackaton for this, just so people can try and hack this and see if it's really safe.
REMME treats security very seriously and that is why they had partnered with Hacken to start their bug bounty program. FYI, Hacken is another of my favorite blockchain start-ups.
Remme already has solid partnerships and pilot projects as shown in the above picture. More to come in future with this unique and much needed solution.
They will be coming to Singapore being a Gold Sponsor at the RSA Conference. I will try to get a ticket so that I can visit the booth that day.
The security should be properly tested.
@gregjava Thanks for the comment. Agreed! As mentioned by @culgin, they are already testing it in their pilot programs. Cheers!
Alright. Cheers! Wishing them all the best...
Nice post 👌
I just want to ask if how can I use it? Because I dont have an idea. Anyone?
Remme is focusing on security and to implement the Passwordless, but I still have hesitation if they will really do this smoothly if this is really safe and secured?
REMME has the goal of making passwords obsolete, instead giving users next-generation access protection. REMME builds a distributed Public Key Infrastructure Protocol (PKI) to resolve issues related to access management. It also includes a set of dApps on top of this protocol. Users generate specific SSL/TLS certificates for their devices instead of relying on passwords. The relevant certificate data gets managed via the blockchain, so hackers find it extremely difficult to use a fake certificate
No doubt REMME is really beauty for investors. Keeping a safe and secured personal data's without using third-party is A+.
I doubt if this project would be successful and I don't think an investor would be interested in this.
Why not? With the credibility that Remme shows as we can see in their updates and news no reason for us to doubt. If we see some not good occurrence that remme faces it is just usual thing happens on a project. Let's just wait for them to give us more useful information.
