BitSec is part of a modern cyber‑security platform that anchors users' digital identity to the Bitcoin network using cryptographic proofs. This unlocks a new class of security capabilities for existing Web2 accounts, features that not available in traditional authenticators. On the surface, BitSec works like familiar authenticator apps such as Microsoft or Google Authenticator. Under the hood, Bitcoin integration enables the first deterrence‑based MFA system, designed to make attacks costly and dramatically harder to execute. BitSec works with everything from a Google account to your bank login. With BitSec, your authentication is backed by an amount of Bitcoin that you control. This creates a real economic barrier for attackers. Common attack vectors become pointless: - Stolen passwords - Phishing attacks - Replay attacks - SIM‑swap attacks - Device‑only compromise - Credential stuffing In this first release, BitSec includes: - Passive Deterrence through locked funds that act as collateral - Device‑bound authentication tied to your app identity - Biometric support is a must for local protection - Account credentials are cryptographically bound to wallet artifacts providing an anchor back to bitcoin - Bitcoin node validation for independent verification BitSec introduces a new model for account protection — one that adds real cost to would-be attackers and strengthens your digital identity beyond traditional MFA. There are 3 account types. 1) Basic: Standard TOTP support, comparable to other authenticators. 2) Personal: For individual users. Includes everything in Basic, plus Bitcoin‑anchored identity protection. 3) Organization-Managed: This account type is for organizations with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace (soon). OIDC integration allows for active and passive deterrence modes going way beyond standard MFA.
