Online Authentication
Solution
IDEMIA Online Authentication is based on OpenID Connect (OIDC), a standards‑based protocol that enables secure user authentication through a trusted Identity Provider — the Digital Credential (DC) Backend.
Using OIDC, relying parties can authenticate users and obtain verified identity attributes in a secure, consent‑driven manner.
During the authentication flow, the user is redirected from the Relying Party (RP) — a previously registered OIDC client — to the DC Backend authorization endpoint. The authentication request is validated and associated with the user’s digital identity, and a push notification is sent to the user’s mobile application.
Within the application, the user reviews the request and provides explicit consent to share (or decline sharing) the requested identity attributes. Once all validations are successfully completed, the approved attributes are securely transmitted to the Relying Party, allowing the user to access the requested resource or confirm the transaction.
