AUTHOREON is a platform based on blockchain technology

WHAT IS AUTHOREON ?

Authoreon is decentralizing authorization, authentication, verification & certification and thus securing previously unsecure instances and functions.

The Authoreon solutions prevent fraud, cyber attacks, material and immaterial identity theft, and they provide an all-over traceability to supply and ownership chains.

VISION and MISSION

Our five-year goal is to be at the forefront of securing authorization, authentication, verification and blocked certification, with users and customers worldwide, securing thousands of assets and transactions per day for private, corporate, government and organization users.

We envisage many SCaaS modules to serve a variety of use cases, and high adoption rates due to the usability of the platform as well as the fact that Authoreon will be owned by many people!

Architecture

Authoreon is a decentralized network with three separate overlay protocols:

1). Blockchain

Authoreon is based on Ethereum, a public, open-source, censorship-resistant and innovative blockchain protocol and distributed computing platform, that provides a decentralized Turing-complete virtual machine (the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)) enabling the execution of smart contracts.

In general, a blockchain is a distributed database that enables a digital ledger of assets and transactions, which are shared among a distributed network of users, and are thus tamperproof.

2). Synapse

On top of the blockchain, we developed the synapse protocol, which is an independent application layer inspired by the human brain. It is designed to further the functionality, scalability, and performance of the Authoreon platform by enabling smart authorization contracts.

It also keeps the blockchain light and fast by substituting the stored data resulting in an increased performance, faster block processing times, as well as the ability to process more transactions in a single block.

3). Access Lock

The access lock layer acts as the gate keeper, processing incoming requests to the synapse layer and granting temporary access if the requesting instance is authorized.

For this purpose we developed the 2 key algorithm, providing one static key with a dynamic (temporary) key only if the other key is still valid by authorization and vice versa. Access is only granted to two dynamic keys.

This mechanism replaces the traditional two-factor authentication enabling a wide range of potential applications

Prodcucts

The actual accessible product is the Authoreon platform.

• Platform

The Authoreon solutions platform will be accessible through an easily manageable web application graphic user interface (GUI) that will be optimized for MetaMask but will run on any decentralized browser (e.g. Mist).

• Mobile App

All platform functionality will be fully mirrored in a mobile app (for Android, iOS and Windows) to enable key authorization functions, mining and wallet interactions.

Smart Contracts as a Service

The platform will offer a wide range of modules, each addressing a different use case, each running a different Smart Contract as a Service (SCaaS), each with a different pricing and processing fee.

Plugins, APIs & Marketplace

By mid-2018 plugins and extensions will be available for third-party systems, the platform will be addressed via 2 protocols. The primary protocol for external developers and will include the market for third-party extensions.

Use Cases

Authoreon addresses the following Use Cases:

1). Identity Theft

• Problem
  The 2017 Identity Fraud Study from Javelin Strategy & Research finds that Identity thieves, who commit financial fraud with stolen account information, hit 15.4 million Americans in 2016 (16% up from 2015) and stole $16 billion dollars, which is a nearly billion dollar year-to-year increase.
• Solution
  Authoreon will provide an immutable digital identity for consumers, as well as the corresponding verification tools for verifying parties. Secured by our Access Lock layer, the Smart-Contracts-as-a-Service will efficiently protect your identity.

2). Data Retention

• Problem
  Telecommunications data retention generally refers to the storage of call detail records (CDRs) of telephony and internet traffic and transaction data (IPDRs) by governments and commercial organizations. In the case of government data retention, the data that stored is usually of telephone calls made and received, emails sent and received, and websites visited. Location data is also collected. The primary objective in government data retention is traffic analysis and mass surveillance. The problem is that these practices are often in conflict with privacy laws and regulations, since advocates claim the data retention can prevent e.g. terror attacks, while critics argue that the data is not secure against hacks and breaches and movement profiles could be created. (See also “European Court of Justice rules against mass data retention in EU”).
• Solution
  Authoreon proposes a solution to this dilemma by storing all collected data immediately and only in the blockchain and making them accessible only to authorized authorities via our 2 key authentication, so an investigator would only get access if authorized by a judge. This way all private data is stored safely, while still accessible to authorities if ordered by court.

3.) Cyber Attacks

• Problem
  Other forms of cyber crime involve for example ransomware attacks (like the recent Wannacry cryptoworm), homepage hacks (like the recent Coindash Hack) and DDos attacks. The global cost of cybercrime will reach $2 trillion by 2019, a threefold increase from the 2015 estimate of $500 billion.
• Solution
  Authoroen is working on a solution to decentralize the storage of source code and databases making e.g. homepages, e-commerce businesses, mobile apps, intranets immutable so that only authorized instances will be able to make changes to the source code or database.

4). Authentication & Password Breaches

• Problem
  With more than 3 billion records leaked, it is clear that all existing security measurements are extremely insufficient.
• Solution
  The Authoreon solution replaces the traditional authentication and even the two-factor authentication. We predict that e.g. even large social networks will use our
  solution to store their users’ data safely in the blockchain.

5). Document Fraud

• Problem
  "Fraud documents are an important enabler of organized crime and terrorism, obviously.There are a number of criminal activities and criminal sectors involved in stealing passports and producing sophisticated passports and supplying them to the criminal market". said Europol Director Rob Wainwright
  Passports and Visa Fraud are the main problems that the government has to deal with.
• Solution
  Authoreon is also addressing this use case by enabling the issuing authorities to store document data securely in the blockchain, as well as by providing the corresponding verification tools e.g. to police and border patrol.

6). IOT Security Risks

• Problem
  All the devices that are connected to the internet create access points with which hackers can infiltrate a company’s network.
• Solution
  Securing access by authorization in the Internet-of-Things, is another area Authoreon will address.

The Autheon Token

Autheon tokens are used to access certain functionalities of the platform including registering a new asset, transferring an asset, and a variety of other authorization features. The Autheon Token does not represent or confer any ownership right or stake, share or security or equivalent rights.

WHY A CROWDSALE ?

For the Authoreon platform to be truly decentralized, a large group of supporters is required. Traditional investors as a small group would gain control of the network and they would ultimately act in their best interest, and not in the best interest of the users and the community. So we came to the conclusion that only a blockchain driven crowdsale utilizing an Ethereum ERC20 token can provide the required amounts and quality of funds to achieve our vision with this truly decentralized network and provide enough fuel for the platform to run.

The Authoreon ICO is targeting fund raising from a minimum of $500.000 to a maximum of $34,000,000 USD due to development, current cash flow and scalable marketing needs. 1 Autheon token (AUTH) will be available for ETH 0.00133333. Contributions are accepted in ETH only at this point. Bonuses of 25% to 5% in Autheon tokens are offered to early contributors.
