Patent Granted!
We’ve reached a major milestone! Atsign® was officially granted US Patent No. 11,849,053-B2 for our work on the revolutionary atPlatform Protocol™.
This patent is a concrete recognition of the power of Atsign’s technology and its ability to change the way people and things interact on the Internet.
Furthermore, we honor and remember our late co-founder, Kevin Nickels, whose name will continue to live on through this patent. Kevin’s dream of a better Internet continues to flourish with the technology he so passionately supported and built.
The atPlatform Protocol
The atPlatform Protocol is an open network protocol. Because it provides security and privacy at the protocol level, it eliminates the need for the traditional add-on security layers such as firewalls and VPNs.
The atPlatform Protocol can be used in conjunction with desktop and mobile apps, IoT devices, enterprise applications, or any other software that uses a network to send and/or receive data.
Using the atPlatform Protocol
NoPorts is a secure remote access solution built on the atPlatform Protocol. It enables you to connect to devices without requiring open ports, static IP addresses, or complex firewall configurations. By eliminating typical network vulnerabilities, NoPorts helps ensure your devices connect securely and stay protected.
