Description

Entrophy is an application whose main purpose is to provide authentication in hostile/insecure environments without risking the user key. To achieve that, it uses a selective chaos layer and an incertitude principle that allow us to guarantee the password cannot be recognized by an external observer (watching or recording the process of entering the key) nor by the first device, not even by a "Man in the Middle". Through Entrophy the password is not revealed and it travels under encryption between user and server. The application is designed so that it displays too much data as to be completely absorbed. This data is composed of letters that change their position in a pseudo-randomized way.
