Ras Al-Khaimah, UAE -- Nov. 6, 2014 -- On Oct 28 2014, the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office has granted ZSS LTD's "Geographical Passwords" patent application, filled in late 2012.

"Passwords vulnerabilities are one of the main reasons for system compromises, and geographical passwords comes to change that" Al-Salloum continued.
Thanks to millions of passwords being exposed publicly and inexpensive access to high processing power, it does not take cyber criminals much effort to reveal users passwords.
Geographical passwords, to a large extent, solves the password fatigue problem and can be a simple and practical replacement of conventional passwords. And the technology is suitable to all ages while millions of websites don't need to change or integrate anything for users to start using it.
ZSS LTD, revealed its world's first geographical password based system on mid 2014 and named it ZSS LOGIN in an attempt to spread the cutting edge technology and further protect enterprise networks.

ZSS LTD announces ZSS LOGIN: World's first GeoGraphical Password Solution.
Ras Al-Khaimah, UAE -- Sept. 18, 2014 -- Following the wide international coverage of the recently introduced research paper titled "Geographical Passwords" published in the International Journal of Security and Networks (IJSN), ZSS LTD has launched its first product: ZSS LOGIN the world's first geographical password solution. It utilise the remarkable human ability to remember places as a way to provide safe access, where users can select geographical locations (such as favorite mountains, trees, rivers, or others places) as their very strong access credential to different systems.
"ZSS LOGIN comes as a response to the continued events of security breaches, especially the compromise of millions of users passwords on different websites" said Dr. Ziyad Al-Salloum, ZSS's CEO. "If users were using geographical passwords as implemented by ZSS LOGIN, then they won't be affected by the recent iCloud celebrity photos breach, or the compromise of over one billion of internet passwords stolen by a global cyber crime ring," Al-Salloum continued.
Cyber criminals need trillions of years to brute force ZSS LOGIN geographical passwords, assuming 100 trillion guesses per second. Which means that popular password cracking tools such as "John the Ripper" might go into retirement, should this new technology spread.
"Geographical passwords, to a large extent, solves the password fatigue problem and can be a simple and practical replacement of conventional passwords. And the technology is suitable to all ages while millions of websites don't need to change or integrate anything for users to start using it," Al-Salloum explains.
A study revealed that proposing an effective replacement of conventional passwords could reduce 76% of data breaches, based on an analysis of more than 47000 reported security
incidents.
ZSS LTD, a company registered in UK with headquarters located in Ras Al-Khaimah UAE, revealed its new product in Royal Holloway, University of London, Information Security Group Alumni Conference (2014). And promises to continue producing cutting edge technologies paving the way towards a better user protection in an unpredictable cyber world.
