Auth & Identity Studio
8 authentication methods and 2 platform walkthroughs — traditional and crypto-native.
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)
CryptoA 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.
JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
TraditionalA compact, URL-safe token format that encodes claims as a signed JSON payload, enabling stateless authentication between parties.
OAuth 2.0
TraditionalA delegation framework that lets users grant third-party applications limited access to their resources without sharing credentials.
OpenID Connect (OIDC)
TraditionalAn identity layer built on top of OAuth 2.0 that adds standardized user authentication, providing a verified identity token (ID token) alongside access delegation.
Passkeys (FIDO2/WebAuthn)
TraditionalA 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.
SAML 2.0
TraditionalAn XML-based federation standard for exchanging authentication and authorization assertions between an identity provider and a service provider, dominant in enterprise SSO.
Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE)
CryptoAn 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.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
TraditionalAn authentication pattern that lets users log in once and access multiple applications without re-authenticating, implemented via protocols like OIDC or SAML.
