Spring Security

We make the best rated Two-Factor Authentication smartphone app for consumers, a Rest API for developers and a strong authentication platform for the enterprise.

It is a free, automated, and open certificate authority brought to you by the non-profit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).

It is a framework that focuses on providing both authentication and authorization to Java applications. The real power of Spring Security is found in how easily it can be extended to meet custom requirements.

Very secure- We take security seriously. We use industry standard secure algorithms (HMAC RFC 4426) and 256 bits keys which are always encrypted at rest.;Fully redundant- The Authy API is deployed accross different PCI level 1 data-centers and it's fully redundant. We also use a DNS provider with anycast support. We've had 100% availability since 2011.;Great user experience- You connect to Authy using a transparent REST API which allows you to customize the experience you want for your users.;Fully mobile- We support any cellphone. We provide apps for all major phones (iPhone and Android) as well as text-messages for other cellphones.;No expensive & complex setups- Hardware dongles, servers, software licenses, setup costs...It's 2013, forget all that. Authy is bringing two-factor authentication to the present.
