Today, numerous identity providers (IdPs) offer varying levels of features and security, including Okta, Ping Identity, Google Identity, Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), OneLogin, and AWS Identity. Common features among these providers include single sign-on (SSO), two-factor authentication (2FA), multi-factor authentication (MFA), OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect (OIDC).
In addition, some providers perform activity and network analysis for enhanced login security.
However, these identity providers face several challenges and risks:
AI and Deep fake impersonations: Current IdPs are not designed to handle the emerging wave of AI applications, which can exploit vulnerabilities, especially when using deep fakes to impersonate users or service providers.
Centralized Recovery: Centralized recovery methods can be hacked via impersonation or phishing.
Vendor Lock-in: Dependence on a provider's infrastructure can lead to difficulties in switching services, and in some cases, it makes it totally impossible.
Single Point of Failure: Any breach to the provider can affect all users and applications.
Security: IdPs are prime targets for cyber-attacks due to the large amounts of user data they hold.
Portability: Migrating credentials, especially passkeys from one provider to another is difficult or may be imposisible.
Misconfigurations: Incorrect settings can expose sensitive data or allow unauthorized access.
Data Privacy: Handling and storing user data and activity is a privacy concern, especially with providers in different regulatory regions.
Phishing and Social Engineering: Users can vulnerable to phishing attacks, especially during recovery or when a bad actor impersonates the user and initiates recovery.
WiKey is an open-source identity and access management solution that mitigates these risks:
No Vendor Lock-in: Being open-source, WiKey ensures customers are not locked into a specific provider.
Zero Configuration: WiKey offers easy integration with zero configuration needed.
Security & simple integration: WiKey uses the FIDO2 standard and SAML2 interface for secure integration.
At WiKey we understand the importance of a great user interface. When a user logs in, into the organizations' software the login is welcoming and straight forward. The UI is customizable for a seamless experience.
Instead of using hackable methods like text messages or biometrics, the secret phrase or passkey is stored only on the user’s phone without a backup.
Decentralized Recovery: Instead of using hackable methods like text messages or biometrics, the secret phrase or passkey is stored only on the user’s phone without a backup.
For recovery, users reach out to co-workers or family who can verify their identity with certainty, allowing access with a new phone and a new secret key to the current accounts.
Self-Service: Users manage their identities themselves, reducing dependence on external providers who don't really know them.
Anonymity: WiKey has no access and does not store any personal information about its users.
WiKey is compatible with SAML2 and FIDO2, making it easily integrable with any software compliant with these standards. This flexibility ensures that WiKey can seamlessly work with a wide range of applications and services
