What is QuantumAuth?
QuantumAuth is a hardware-rooted, passwordless authentication and wallet platform designed to eliminate passwords, login screens, browser-based wallets, and fragile identity flows.
Users authenticate once on their own device. From that moment on, applications can securely verify identity and authorize actions — without handling credentials, secrets, tokens, or private keys.
QuantumAuth shifts trust away from browsers and passwords and anchors it directly in device hardware.
Core Idea: Device-Bound Identity
QuantumAuth binds identity to the user’s physical device:
- A cryptographic key is generated and sealed inside the TPM
- The private key never leaves the hardware
- All authentication and signing operations happen locally
- Nothing sensitive is exposed to apps, browsers, or websites
Identity is proven cryptographically, not through shared secrets.
Invisible Authentication (Short Version)
Users authenticate once using the QuantumAuth Client.
After that:
- The device is trusted
- Authentication happens automatically
- Apps no longer need login flows
- No passwords, tokens, cookies, or OAuth logic
From the app’s perspective, authentication becomes a single verification call.
A Secure Wallet — Without a Browser Wallet
QuantumAuth includes a hardware-secured wallet built on the same principles:
- Wallet keys are TPM-sealed
- No private keys in the browser
- No seed phrases to phish or leak
- No wallet extension managing secrets
Instead of a browser wallet, QuantumAuth uses a native client + secure extension bridge.
The QuantumAuth Extension (Security Bridge)
The browser extension does not store keys and is not a wallet.
Its role:
- Acts as a secure bridge between the browser and the local QuantumAuth Client
- Forwards signing requests to the client
- Prevents direct key access from websites or browser memory
All cryptographic operations happen outside the browser, on the user’s machine.
Account Abstraction (ERC-4337)
QuantumAuth wallets are designed for Account Abstraction:
- Smart accounts with programmable security policies
- Hardware-backed signatures
- Multi-factor and recovery logic
- Policy-based transaction approval
This enables:
- Stronger protection for high-value actions
- Governance-safe execution
- Institutional-grade security without degrading UX
EIP-1193 Compatibility
QuantumAuth follows EIP-1193 provider standards so it works with existing Web3 applications.
From a dApp’s perspective:
- QuantumAuth appears as a standard provider
- No custom wallet integration required
- No special-case logic
Under the hood, security is dramatically stronger.
Why QuantumAuth Exists
Modern authentication and wallets fail because:
- Passwords get stolen
- Seed phrases get phished
- Browser wallets are high-risk
- OAuth and token systems are fragile
- Apps repeatedly re-implement auth incorrectly
QuantumAuth removes these failure modes by removing secrets from apps and browsers entirely.
What QuantumAuth Enables
- Passwordless authentication
- Hardware-bound identity
- Wallets without seed phrases
- No private keys in the browser
- Secure Account Abstraction
- Invisible authentication for users
- Minimal integration for developers
QuantumAuth in One Sentence
QuantumAuth is a hardware-rooted authentication and wallet platform that removes passwords, browser wallets, and seed phrases by anchoring identity and signing directly in device hardware.
