Healthcare
Healthcare organizations face two security challenges that cannot be separated: ensuring that users are who they say they are, and ensuring that patient data is secure at rest and in transit. WWPass addresses both with a single architecture. Authentication without usernames or passwords. Client-side encryption where the key never leaves the clinician's device. No plaintext on any server. No shared secret for an attacker to steal.

The attack landscape in healthcare
The 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report recorded 1,542 confirmed healthcare breaches:
System Intrusion, including ransomware, is now the top breach pattern at 53%, up from 36% in 2024
Insider threats account for 30% of breaches
Medical data is compromised in 45% of cases
90% of attacks are financially motivated
Healthcare organizations face particular pressure during ransomware attacks. The urgent need for access to patient data in emergency situations increases the likelihood of paying ransoms. The architecture of most EPR systems — centralized credentials, server-side encryption, administrator access to unencrypted records — makes healthcare a predictable and profitable target.

Strong identification for doctors and patients
WWPass replaces the username and password with a cryptographic key. The clinician taps their WWPass Key and access is granted without entering a single credential. In emergency situations where authentication friction can delay care, a single tap or QR scan is all that is required.
Each clinician receives a distinct cryptographic identifier per system they access. A doctor's identifier for the EPR system is entirely different from their identifier for the prescribing system or patient portal. A breach at one system reveals nothing about the same clinician's access elsewhere. No username is tied to a patient record anywhere in the architecture.
Patient data secure at rest and in transit
The WWPass Key generates a master encryption key that never leaves the device. Patient records are encrypted client-side before they reach any server. The consequences for security are direct:
The EPR provider's server stores only encrypted data it cannot decrypt
A compromised server yields nothing readable
A ransomware attack has no leverage over data already encrypted before it arrived
Neither the cloud storage vendor, WWPass, nor the EPR provider itself can access what is stored
Key management follows NIST recommendations with segregation of roles, split knowledge, and dual control. Administrators handle system support and backup only. They have no access to unencrypted documents or encryption keys.

Data integrity by design
Patient records stored through WWPass cannot be manipulated or modified without detection, even by a system administrator.
The combination of client-side encryption and cryptographic access control means the data on any server exists in a form that only the authorized user's key can unlock. Unauthorized modification during backups, system updates, or routine maintenance operations is not possible without the clinician's key.
High availability for clinical environments
System downtime in a clinical environment is a patient safety risk. WWPass uses a geographically distributed core network with multiple parallel access servers and storage nodes. No single node failure can disrupt access. Redundancy is built into the architecture, not layered on top of it. Clinical systems remain accessible under partial network or infrastructure failure without manual intervention.

What changes for healthcare teams
No password reset workflows. Clinical staff manage their own keys through self-service. Lost keys are revoked and replaced without IT involvement.
No shared credentials across clinical systems. Each system receives a distinct, uncorrelated identifier per clinician. A compromised account at one system cannot be used to access any other.
No vendor cloud dependency for recovery. Access restored through patented secure credential restoration within the distributed architecture. No dependency on iCloud, Google, or any third-party cloud.
No administrator access to patient records. Separation of duties enforced at the architecture level, not through policy.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Does WWPass meet HIPAA authentication and encryption requirements?
A: Yes. HIPAA's Technical Safeguards require access controls, person authentication, and transmission security. WWPass addresses authentication through credential-free cryptographic verification per individual user. It addresses encryption through client-side encryption where the master key is generated by and stored on the WWPass Key and never leaves the device. No plaintext is transmitted or stored on any server.
Q: How does WWPass handle access in emergency situations?
A: Authentication with the WWPass Key requires a single tap or QR scan. No username or password to type. This is faster than traditional credential-based login and eliminates authentication friction in time-critical clinical situations where delayed access can affect patient care.
Q: Can the EPR provider or cloud storage vendor access patient records?
A: No. Patient records are encrypted client-side using a master encryption key that never leaves the clinician's device. The server stores only encrypted data it cannot decrypt. Neither the cloud storage vendor, WWPass, nor the EPR provider has access to the plaintext records.
Q: Does WWPass protect against insider threats and unauthorized administrator access?
A: Yes. Administrators are responsible for system support and backup only. They have no access to unencrypted patient records or encryption keys. This separation of duties is enforced at the architecture level, not through policy controls that an administrator could modify.
Q: What happens if a clinician loses their WWPass Key?
A: The clinician uses their Service Key to revoke the lost key and issue a replacement without administrator involvement. The clinician's master encryption key and access rights are automatically restored with the new key. The WWPass Key App can also be restored using a registered backup email.

Healthcare
Healthcare organizations face two security challenges that cannot be separated: ensuring that users are who they say they are, and ensuring that patient data is secure at rest and in transit. WWPass addresses both with a single architecture. Authentication without usernames or passwords. Client-side encryption where the key never leaves the clinician's device. No plaintext on any server. No shared secret for an attacker to steal.
Government & public sector
Government agencies and public sector organizations sit at the intersection of the most sensitive data and the highest-value targets. Nation-state actors, criminal groups, and insider threats all converge on the same vulnerability: the credential layer. WWPass removes it entirely — the usernames, passwords, and shared secrets that account for the majority of successful attacks on government systems and critical infrastructure.
