Silence Laboratories aims to seamlessly secure every interaction – across digital worlds or between digital and physical worlds. They have designed multi-factor authentication frameworks which use a fusion of sensing and security algorithms for seamless security and unprecedented user experience. Their aim is to increase users’ convenience by replacing existing tedious authentication methods (TFAs and MFAs) and minimising user interventions. They have customised their IPs and algorithms to solve problems pertaining to authentication of login attempts to web services, ride-sharing verification, last-mile delivery and localisation.

Project 1: Seamless Multi-Factor Authentication Framework

Silence Laboratories is redefining how two-factor authentication is practiced and adopted. Typically, verifications in practice are either tedious or vulnerable to attacks at the cost of usability.
