Uniloc's EdgeID Platform is a unique offering that uniquely establishes a device identity for the physical edge. This Edge ID can be incorporated into licensing and authentication credentials used to secure the service edges found within the internet cloud. A secure and well-managed connected edge simply enables a safer online experience. It is important to understand there will almost certainly be multiple, unique ‘connected edges' (VPN, VOIP client, Critical Infrastructure (CI), Banking, Corp IT, etc.) per each physical device.
A reliable edge identity enables network and web service administrators to register a device in a "white list" specifying a short-list of only those devices authorized to connect. When a device is used for fraudulent activity, it moves onto a "black list" for higher scrutiny or blocking all-together. In order to impersonate an authorized user or defraud the connected service, a bad actor must be in possession of a previously registered device. While it is easy for a bad actor to requests thousands of online identities, doing so from machines not blacklisted becomes daunting.
Uniloc EdgeID Platform solutions exist for SoftAnchor (for software delivery) securing the download edge, WebAnchor (for web services) securing the service edge and NetAnchor (for CI and private networks) securing the private edge.
