In the past, passwords were considered a reliable way to secure information. Today, this method is not effective. The reason for this is human psychology. According to leading experts in the field of cybersecurity, users often use numeric codes, for example: mobile phone number, date of birth, "12345" and so on. This set of "keys" allow hackers to easily access the information of interest. In practice, there is absolutely no defense, which will give user 100% guarantee, that his files will not be hacked.
In 2015, a group of enthusiasts created a unique project - REMME. The essence of it is to completely avoid the use of logins and passwords as a way to protect information. According to official information, the project will work on the base of blockchain, which has proven itself in the field of cryptocurrency.

What will the new system of user recognition give?
According to developers, the new project completely eliminates the need to remember a login and password. Instead of the user it will be done by a device, for example, a smartphone. The technology works on the basis of awarding a personal SSL certificate. The certificate itself is written to separate blocks that are stored separately from each other (the blockchain system). This means that even if any cell is hacked, the hacker will get a lot of data not tied to each other.
Moreover, to the number of advantages of such storage of confirming data already today include:
- high level of data or account protection;
- anonymity of the user;
- the chance of entering incorrect data is excluded.
According to the creators of the project, in the near future the REMME project will completely eliminate the need to remember passwords.
Why is the new order of identification better than old method?
For confirming the user is need only 1 click. To test the comfort of using the system, an experiment was conducted. The essence of it was to understand how quickly you can access protected data, and how comfortable it will be. We add that the login and password were pre-recorded in the browser.
The results of the research showed that the REMME project is not inferior to the usual order of actions in terms of data access speed. But, with this approach, there is a significant difference in the protection of information.
Regarding today, the system is being updated and adapted to the requirements of users.
Who will be interested in the REMME project?
On the official portal of the site there is no specific price. Many supporters of the project believe that it will have the form of a monthly protection subscription.
The developers argue that such a system will be of interest to commercial organizations: banks, concerns, government agencies, large financial organizations and others. Already today, such options for the protection of information are used by the concern "UKROBORONPROM" and the company PJSC "UKRMASH".
Disadvantages of the REMME project
The main disadvantage of the project is the procedure for awarding an SSL certificate. The difficulty is that it takes 20 - 30 minutes to award an SSL certificate. According to unconfirmed information, the project developers intend to reduce this procedure to 5 minutes maximum.
Another difficulty is the development of the procedure for restoring access in case the device has been lost. Supporters of the REMME project assume that in case of loss of the device, user will get an automatic notification about the location of the device. If the device is lost irrevocably, or destroyed, then the disabling of the personal certificate will be possible only with help of the support service.
Conclusion
Today, the REMME project is more suitable for commercial structures. The main advantage of the service is the protection of access to information. About how much this service will cost is unknown, but it is reliably known that:
- the REMME project provides better data protection to date;
- unique identification system;
- It is impossible to hack the system.
Moreover, as claimed by the developers themselves to use such high protection for the safety of the list of favorite movies or personal correspondence is un rationality, but to protect access to bank accounts, or project documentation of business plan - for sure!
