Problem Statement
Modern applications require secure and standards-based authentication mechanisms that are interoperable across diverse systems. ANVA needed a solution that adheres to the OpenID Connect 1.0 specification to ensure compatibility, enhance security, and meet regulatory and industry compliance standards. However, achieving OpenID Provider certification demands rigorous implementation of complex protocols and flows that must be both secure and user-friendly.
Our Solution
We implemented a fully OpenID Connect 1.0-compliant authentication and authorization solution built on a microservice architecture. The system supports all required OpenID flows, dynamic client registration, and secure token issuance (access and ID tokens). An intuitive user interface allows administrators to manage clients and configurations with ease. Multi-factor authentication was added to strengthen security, and the architecture was designed to be scalable, fault-tolerant, and ready for OpenID Provider certification.
