Understanding KeyXentic

KeyXentic is a Taiwanese information security company that replaces passwords with physical security keys, fingerprints and FIDO2 authentication. It serves businesses that want staff to log in to VPNs, applications and internal systems without passwords, and that need to protect encryption keys and sensitive files with hardware they control.

Unusually for the category, it designs its own tokens and readers as well as the software that uses them.

What KeyXentic Does

Passwords are shared, reused and phished, and each system that relies on them is another place they can leak. KeyXentic takes a zero trust approach that brings FIDO2, biometrics, multi-factor authentication and single sign-on together, so that a business can unify VPN, application and system logins behind one passwordless credential. The hardware token sits at the centre: the physical key acts as the password, keeping control in the user’s hands, and the same key protects encryption keys and shared files. An identity verification service supports know-your-customer checks.

Products

Keyper Zero Trust Passwordless Manager

Keyper is the identity and access management product. It lets users “Log in once to access the entire network”, using a security key, fingerprint or NFC token instead of a password, and it produces detailed login audit reports for administrators. Keyper supports both offline and online verification.

Keytrust Key Management Service

Encryption is only as safe as the keys behind it. Keytrust stores and protects those keys, with strict access control over who and what can use them.

XenBox File Encryption Protection System

XenBox gives teams an encrypted folder for sharing internal information. The folder is opened with the KX701 token, so access depends on holding the physical key.

Hardware Tokens And Readers

KeyXentic designs the devices that carry the credential:

KX701 NFC Smart TokenA FIDO token that also unlocks XenBox folders
KX901 Fingerprint Smart TokenA fingerprint token for multi-factor authentication
KX902 Fingerprint Smart Card ReaderA reader combining smart card and fingerprint checks
KX905 Smart TerminalA device listed as a hardware security module
KX906 Smart Token FIDOA FIDO security key

How It Works

CredentialEach user holds a physical token that replaces the password.
Sign-inKeyper checks the token or fingerprint, either offline or online, grants single sign-on across the network and logs the login for audit.
KeysKey material sits in Keytrust, with the KX905 Smart Terminal providing hardware security module functions.
FilesXenBox folders open only when the KX701 token is presented.
