Auth & Identity Studio

8 authentication methods and 2 platform walkthroughs — traditional and crypto-native.

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)

Crypto

A W3C standard for globally unique, self-sovereign identifiers that are controlled by the subject rather than a central authority, enabling verifiable identity without depending on any single provider.

Identityhigh complexity

JSON Web Tokens (JWT)

Traditional

A compact, URL-safe token format that encodes claims as a signed JSON payload, enabling stateless authentication between parties.

Authenticationlow complexity

OAuth 2.0

Traditional

A delegation framework that lets users grant third-party applications limited access to their resources without sharing credentials.

Authenticationhigh complexity

OpenID Connect (OIDC)

Traditional

An identity layer built on top of OAuth 2.0 that adds standardized user authentication, providing a verified identity token (ID token) alongside access delegation.

Identitymedium complexity

Passkeys (FIDO2/WebAuthn)

Traditional

A passwordless authentication standard using public-key cryptography, where the private key never leaves the user's device and authentication is verified via biometrics or device PIN.

Authenticationmedium complexity

SAML 2.0

Traditional

An XML-based federation standard for exchanging authentication and authorization assertions between an identity provider and a service provider, dominant in enterprise SSO.

Identityhigh complexity

Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE)

Crypto

An authentication standard that lets users prove ownership of an Ethereum address by signing a structured message with their wallet's private key, enabling decentralized identity for web applications.

Authenticationmedium complexity

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Traditional

An authentication pattern that lets users log in once and access multiple applications without re-authenticating, implemented via protocols like OIDC or SAML.
