Learn how ZKAuth uses zero-knowledge proofs to provide mathematically impossible-to-breach authentication.
Understanding the core concepts behind zero-knowledge authentication
Mathematical proofs that verify knowledge without revealing the knowledge itself
ZK proofs allow users to prove they know a password without ever sending the password to the server.
Military-grade encryption using elliptic curve cryptography
All authentication data is encrypted using state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithms.
User data is never stored or transmitted in plain text
Even if our servers are compromised, user credentials remain completely secure.
Support for fingerprint, face, and other biometric authentication
Seamlessly integrate biometric authentication with ZK proof verification.
Step-by-step process of how ZKAuth authenticates users securely
Registration and authentication with ZK proof generation and verification
// 1. User Registration with ZK Proof
const user = await zkauth.signUp(
'user@example.com',
'secure-password',
{
generateProof: true,
proofType: 'zk-snark'
}
);
// 2. Authentication with ZK Verification
const session = await zkauth.signIn(
'user@example.com',
'secure-password',
{
verifyProof: true,
requireProof: true
}
);
// 3. Session Management
if (session.success) {
console.log('ZK Proof verified successfully');
console.log('Session token:', session.token);
console.log('Proof hash:', session.proofHash);
}Enterprise-grade authentication features for production applications
Multi-factor authentication, device trust, and custom proof types
// Advanced Authentication with Custom Proofs
const customAuth = await zkauth.authenticate({
email: 'user@example.com',
password: 'secure-password',
options: {
proofType: 'zk-stark',
proofComplexity: 'high',
biometricData: fingerprintData,
deviceTrust: true,
locationVerification: true
}
});
// Multi-factor Authentication
const mfaResult = await zkauth.verifyMFA({
sessionId: session.id,
mfaCode: '123456',
mfaType: 'totp'
});
// Session Validation
const isValid = await zkauth.validateSession({
token: session.token,
proofHash: session.proofHash,
deviceId: deviceId
});Built-in security measures to protect your applications
Rate limiting and progressive delays prevent automated attacks
// Automatic rate limiting
const auth = await zkauth.signIn(email, password);
// If failed attempts detected, progressive delays are appliedTrack and verify trusted devices for enhanced security
// Device verification
const device = await zkauth.registerDevice({
deviceId: generateDeviceId(),
deviceInfo: getDeviceInfo(),
userAgent: navigator.userAgent
});Secure session tokens with automatic expiration and rotation
// Session configuration
const session = await zkauth.createSession({
userId: user.id,
expiresIn: '24h',
maxDevices: 5,
requireReauth: true
});Comprehensive audit trails for compliance and security monitoring
// Audit log entry
const auditLog = await zkauth.logEvent({
event: 'user_login',
userId: user.id,
ipAddress: clientIP,
userAgent: userAgent,
success: true
