Reduced Network Profile
ZeroProfile uses shared secrets, time-based tokens, and cryptographically strong hashing algorithms to create tokens that can only be used for a brief amount time by the designated host, while hiding that the tokens are ever received.
Automation
ZeroProfile is automatically enabled on the Fognigma engine and all networks and resources.
Obfuscation
ZeroProfile hides token exchanges to further limit observable activity and allow it to function invisibly even while under active observation.
Fraud Prevention
ZeroProfile only accepts tokens from approved Fognigma virtual machines, so even if a malicious actor were to intercept a token and send it from their own address, it would be rejected.
From the Fognigma interface, an administrator deploys a ZeroProfile-enabled Fognigma Network with a file server containing highly sensitive data for the operation.
Because all ports on the machines in the network are closed and never exposed to the Internet, they can’t even be observed, protecting them from scans, signature comparisons, or other malicious acts.
When a valid Fognigma user attempts to connect to the network via an Entry Point to access the data, ZeroProfile issues a single-use, time-bound token encoded with the user’s IP address, while hiding the token is sent.
While this is happening, a malicious actor is scanning large numbers different IP addresses across the Internet to attempt to find high-value targets.
The user machine then verifies the address of the machine sending the token matches the address in the token, and ZeroProfile opens the port on the Entry Point for the user’s address, just long enough for the user to connect.
One of the IPs happens to be a Fognigma File Server containing highly sensitive files for an operation, but because all virtual machine ports in the network are closed, the machines don’t appear to exist.
Even if the attacker did intercept a token, they would be unable to use it since their address wouldn’t match the legitimate address and the time-based token would expire and be rejected.
