Facial Sign-In Bastion Gateway Zero-Password

Only the right face gets in.

A single, secure gateway that verifies real identity before any port opens. No passwords to steal, no OTPs to phish—just verified access to the resources you choose.

Why combine a Bastion with Facial Sign‑In?

Passwordless & Phishing‑Resistant

Authenticate with your face—no passwords, OTPs, or push fatigue. Resistant to credential theft and phishing.

Bastion Gateway Control

A single, hardened entry point that brokers all access (SSH, RDP, DB, web). Nothing is reachable until identity is verified.

Zero‑Trust Network Cloaking

Hide private services from the internet. Dynamic policies expose ports only after successful verification.

Ephemeral Credentials

Issue short‑lived keys and just‑in‑time roles to minimize lateral movement and key sprawl.

Full Audit & Insights

Record who accessed what and when. Optional session recording with searchable logs for compliance.

Works With Your Stack

Integrates with AD/LDAP, SAML, and OIDC. Proxy SSH/RDP/DB or protect internal web apps behind the bastion.

How it fits together

Reference Architecture

From request to verified access

How it works

Enroll

User enrolls a face template with liveness detection and binds it to their enterprise identity.

Request Access

User hits the bastion (web/CLI). Services remain hidden until verification passes.

Verify

Face match + policy checks (role, device posture, time, geo). No password or OTP.

Broker Session

Bastion issues short‑lived credentials, opens target port, and proxies the session.

Audit

Every action is logged; optional session recording for high‑risk roles.

Revoke

Access auto‑expires; kill‑switch & step‑up prompts on policy changes.

What you're seeing
  • The widget mimics the UX but does not capture or store any biometric data.
  • Production requires a vetted biometric SDK (ISO/IEC 30107-3 PAD compliant) with liveness checks.
  • Bind verified identity to enterprise SSO (SAML/OIDC/AD) and enforce policies at the bastion.
Tip: Replace this card with Axiam's Bastion SDK for the production environment.

FAQ: Bastion Host with Facial Sign-In

What is a Bastion Host with Facial Sign-In?

A Bastion Host is a secure gateway that controls access to servers and critical infrastructure. By integrating Facial Sign-In, it verifies a user’s real identity instead of relying on usernames, passwords, or weak MFA codes, ensuring only authorized individuals can gain access.

How does facial sign-in improve security compared to passwords or MFA?

Passwords can be stolen, and MFA codes can be phished or intercepted. Facial sign-in verifies the actual person at the gateway using live detection and encrypted biometric templates, making credential theft and MFA bypass attacks ineffective.

What happens if someone tries to spoof a face with a photo or video?

Advanced liveness detection checks for movement, depth, and real-time behavior. This prevents spoof attempts with photos, masks, or videos. Spoofed inputs will be rejected before access is granted.

Is my biometric data safe?

Yes. Facial templates are encrypted end-to-end and never stored as raw images. Only mathematical representations (encrypted vectors) are kept for verification, ensuring data privacy and compliance with security regulations.

Do I need to enroll my face before using it?

Yes. Each authorized user completes a one-time enrollment process, creating an encrypted identity template. After enrollment, sign-ins are quick, seamless, and secure.

Can this replace usernames, passwords, and MFA entirely?

Yes. Facial Sign-In acts as the verified identity check at the bastion host entry point. This removes the need for traditional credentials, eliminating phishing, credential stuffing, SIM swapping, and keylogging risks.

What happens if the camera or environment fails (e.g., poor lighting)?

The system alerts the user to improve conditions (better lighting, proper face alignment). Fallback policies can be configured by the organization, such as restricted access modes or admin approval.

Is Facial Sign-In compliant with enterprise standards?

Yes. It can integrate with Active Directory, LDAP, SAML, OpenID Connect, and OAuth 2.0, aligning with enterprise security frameworks while offering stronger identity assurance.

Can it be used for remote access or only on-site?

Both. Employees can authenticate remotely through a secure bastion host gateway or on-site for internal infrastructure, maintaining consistent identity verification everywhere.

What are the main benefits for organizations?

• Eliminates credential-based attacks
• Provides a frictionless login experience
• Strengthens compliance and auditability
• Centralizes access through a single secure gateway
• Reduces IT overhead managing passwords and MFA devices
