CORSHA, INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF193-CSO1

Description

Today weak API security, both in commercial and government, is a massive gap in enterprise cybersecurity. Large-impact API breaches are escalating at an alarming rate. Like many the Air Force is charging forward with migrating its core workflows to both public and government cloud. Explosion in these API-based deployments requires advanced API security solutions. Corsha’s Streaming Authentication is a patent-pending, advanced authentication solution to provide a dynamic multi-factor authenticator (MFA) for APIs.  The technology provides the same MFA security guarantees to cloud that have proven successful with human users – a dynamic, out-of-band authentication factor, and is designed to be deployed to secure APIs in diverse architectures at the scale and speed of automated cloud computing. The solution pins API calls to only trusted machines where each Corsha Authenticator establishes a dynamic, out-of-band “stream” of cryptographic codes that acts as an authentication heartbeat for its deployed workload.
