Passwordless Authentication
Give every user and machine a cryptographic identity and govern how it’s used from one place – across SSH, TLS, database, RDP, and more. GaraTrust integrates with the systems you already run, and keys stay wherever your policy requires.
Making passwordless authentication a reality through key-based cryptographic operations, no code changes and better security.

The problem
The keys that reach critical systems are scattered across laptops, servers, config files, and CI pipelines. Many can be exported, copied, and reused. Few are centrally inventoried – and fewer still are fully auditable.
The gap widens with every new access method. Teams secure one or two protocols, usually SSH, and leave VPN, RDP, database, and cloud access on inconsistent, manual controls. Orphaned keys outlive the people they belonged to. And when something goes wrong, no one can say which key was used, by whom, or when.
Copied keys are a standing target – and a risk that follows departing employees out the door.
No central place to grant, rotate, or revoke access across endpoints and servers.
Proving who accessed what means stitching together logs from a growing sprawl of systems.
GaraTrust gives every user and machine a key-based cryptographic identity and governs how it's used – working with the protocols and systems you already run, with no application rewrites and no server reconfiguration.
Every identity, user, server, workload, or autonomous agent, is bound to a cryptographic key. Not a password or shared secret. Every request traces to a verifiable identity that can't be exported, copied, or reused.
Keys are used by proxy – users authenticate through GaraTrust without ever possessing the key bytes, so there's no exported credential to copy, leak, or steal. Store them in an HSM or your existing key store, per the use case.
Enforce MFA, device authentication, approval workflows, and IP allowlisting when a credential is used. Just-in-Time access – disabled by default, enabled only on approval.
Every key use is logged – who, what, when – across all protocols. Audits that meant aggregating logs from dozens of servers become a single query.
A single authentication, end to end
The server issues an authentication challenge.
The client authenticates to GaraTrust and forwards it.
The HSM signs the challenge – the key never leaves.
The server validates the signature and grants access.
Protocol coverage
The same platform covers what teams use today and what they add next – no separate tool for each.
SSH keys sprawl across laptops and servers, are rarely rotated, and almost never sit in a central inventory. GaraTrust governs SSH access centrally and uses identity keys by proxy – MFA and Just-in-Time access on every session, with a full audit trail. Existing OpenSSH clients and servers keep working unchanged.
Service-to-service authentication relies on certificates and private keys spread across hosts and config files, making machine identity hard to govern at scale. GaraTrust issues and governs mTLS identities centrally, keeps the private keys non-exportable, and enforces which services may authenticate as whom.
Long-lived, static API keys and tokens sit in config files, CI/CD variables, and laptops – easy to leak, hard to rotate. GaraTrust binds cloud and API access to non-exportable cryptographic identity with central policy, Just-in-Time enablement, and full audit, so there's no static secret to copy or lose.
The same passwordless, MFA-enforced, audited access for Windows remote sessions – no exported credentials to harvest.
Cryptographic identity and central policy replace static VPN credentials, with Just-in-Time access for privileged tunnels.
Govern privileged database connections through the same non-exportable identity and audit layer used everywhere else.
GaraTrust can provide a secrets manager, or integrate with the one you already run – the secure vault for the tokens and long-lived passwords your machines authenticate with.
Strengthen authentication everywhere at once – without slowing teams down or forcing a rebuild.
Native integrations mean the clients, servers, and identity providers you already run keep working.
Keys are used by proxy and never exported to the endpoint – stored in an HSM or your existing key store, per the use case.
Grant privileged access only when it's approved and revoke it automatically – across thousands of users and machines.
Classical, hybrid, and post-quantum algorithms, so you adapt as standards evolve.
The same identity layer extends across SSH, TLS, VPN, RDP, and beyond.
