Credential-Based Authentication Framework

With its built-in support for the award winning Identity Mixer credential technology, this framework provides the necessary components for performing privacy-preserving authentication and authorization on the basis of digital credentials.

Feature list:

Intuitive Authentication Language with Policy Editor UI:

• Authentication on basis of the intuitive credential-based authentication requirements language (CARL)
• Policy Editor User Interface providing meaningful error messages for authoring correct CARL policies

Credential-based Claim Handling:

• Determine and generate all possible claims that fulfill a given authentication policy with respect to a set of credentials
• Generate evidence for a claim with the credential technology of your choice
• Verify whether a given claim implies a given CARL authentication policy
• Verify the validity of a claim's evidence that was generated with the credential technology of your choice

Built-in Identity Mixer Support:

• Built-in support for the award winning privacy-preserving Identity Mixer credential technology
• Abstracts the low-level cryptographic concepts of Identity Mixer into intuitive easy to use authentication concepts
• Automatically translates claims into the low-level Identity Mixer Proof Specification Language
• Automatic generation of privacy-preserving evidence for a claim with the Identity Mixer credential technology
• Automatic verification of the validity of a claim's evidence that was generated with the Identity Mixer credential technology

Extensible with other Credential Technologies:

• Easily extend the framework with claim generation and verification modules for the credential technology of your choice
