What Is DTRelay?

DTRelay is patent-pending middleware that provides authentication without exposing client-side tokens where hacking occurs. DTRelay enhances the security of web and mobile apps while simultaneously making them easier to build. It was created for web and mobile applications to run efficiently on Content Delivery Networks (CDN), and during the engineering process we solved other security risks.

DTRelay allows developers to build faster, safer, more scalable web and mobile apps. It also makes it easier to build them. If a company’s organization has a shortage in cybersecurity skills, the technology offers their developers convenience by protecting their communication for them. DTRelay provides a minimal attack surface for malicious traffic.

DTRelay establishes a shared-secret between the client and server, and gives you secure tokens in JavaScript-Based Apps. DTRelay makes Mobile and Web Apps safer, plus it will save you time and money.

Introduction to DTRelay

No need to learn a new API or Framework. DTRelay is a transparent layer augmenting standard request!

Here is an example of a standard REST API Request in AnugularJS, compared to the same request using DTRelay to protect communication.Standard-REST-API-DTRelay

Below are examples of a comparison between calling Facebook & Google’s API without DTRelay vs with DTRelay:

Dtrelay-Facebook-Call

Making another request to Google requires another library with another set of functions to call, as well as more login logic. By contrast, DTRelay’s request to Google is nearly identical to the previous request.

Not only is DTRelay easy to use, but it adds an additional layer of security, hides consumer credentials, and protects parameters from attackers.

DTRelay Allows You To Build Secure Apps On A CDN

DTRelay protects communication so that you can build Pure Static Applications on a Content Delivery Network! Pure Static Applications include applications that are JavaScript-Based and use only HTML & JavaScript that can communicate with secure APIs. You can view examples of how DTRelay is used here.

DTRelay addresses vulnerabilities in the ubiquitous OAuth methods and simplifies HTTP requests, while eliminating cumbersome callback processes normally required by OAuth. The entire OAuth negotiation can be handled without a client-side redirect, allowing single-page applications to authenticate without loss of state or bandwidth-consuming page reloads.

Protection in Motion™

All you have to do is put DTRelay in front of the API, and it protects the communication between the client and the API for you.

DTRelay allows for secure implementation of HTML and JavaScript on Content Delivery Networks (CDN), improving the users experience across mobile or web traffic, while being completely secure. With DTRelay, we are talking about true end-to-end communication and easily authorizing each machine in the communication chain. This allows your security team to know exactly which machines are talking to each other and seamlessly reject unauthorized requests.

DTRelay dramatically reduces the attack surface used to target JavaScript and HTML, making it virtually impossible to expose your secure data to hackers.

Because there is no compiled code, assembly, config parameters, or consumer keys, it is now possible to use CDNs to dramatically increase app or software performance and easily scale, with requests seeing an improvement of 300%.

Even though a few other technologies do a good job encrypting communications, highly skilled developers must be used to integrate those technologies into applications. DTRelay offers developers convenience by doing the work for them. See comparison chart below.

DTRelay provides a number of additional security measures that would need to be added to JWT to reach the same level of security. DTRelay also provides server-side features that make development safer and easier.

DTRelay Delegates

DTRelay also has technology allowing you to innovate your current processes using what we call DTRelay Delegates. Due to the need to protect trade secrets and patent work that is currently being done, we can only give a high-level explanation of the benefits of DTRelay Delegates:

  • Allows the relay to transform or obfuscate request parameters and return values.
  • Provides secure access to the DTRelay keystore and an opportunity to perform additional security checks.
  • Allow you to customize pre-request and post-request behavior when any request is being made to DTRelay. This can also include multiple sequential request during that same request.
  • Has processes that improves performance by reducing client requests.
  • Delegates operate in a secure environment to protect files and permissions.

Scalability & Performance

DTRelay protects communication so that you can build Pure Static Applications on a Content Deliver Network that communicates with secure APIs! If you use a CDN then your application will use 0MB of server resources.

Don’t need a CDN?

If you decide not to build the application on a CDN, then Pure Static Front End Apps can still scale to millions of users with ease! Plus pure-static apps can typically run on less than 5MB of server RAM, allowing you to run dozens of instances.

“You Have To Try and Hack It To Believe It!”

Use DTRelay to build applications much faster.

According to British insurance company Lloyd’s, companies lose $400 billion to hackers each year. According to INC.com, a new report also finds that companies will spend $170 billion on cybersecurity measures in 2020. Even worse, a significant portion of cybercrime goes undetected or unreported, a World Economic Forum (WEF) report finds.

DTRelay is the solution.

It is revolutionizing the way transactions are done online. DTRelay protects communication from a device (including mobile) to your company’s API, which is where hackers steal personal information. DTRelay does much more than secure online transactions, contact us for more information.
