📋 Tender Overview
1Kosmos the only company that unifies identity proofing and passwordless authentication announced the 1Kosmos DevX Developer Experience environment which enables developers to evaluate how passwordless multi-factor authentication MFA and identity verification will work with existing and new applications. DevX eliminates the need to install the 1Kosmos BlockID platform to perform proof of concept PoC trials for adding passwordless MFA and identity verification capabilities to workforce and customer facing applications. Traditional IAM tools require that developers install the platform before they can test how their applications will respond when passwordless MFA and identity verification capabilities are added to their development pipelines and user journeys. DevX eliminates the risk associated with deploying advanced IAM capabilities by providing developers with visibility into how their applications will react to specific workflows and user journeys before making an investment in BlockID.Identity management vendors typically force customers to trust their platforms will work as expected when integrated with their applications which creates a lot of risk and often slows down development projects said Javed Shah senior vice president of product management for 1Kosmos. DevX supports a more agile and journeys-based approach to deploying passwordless MFA and identity verification by making it possible to try before you buy.How DevX WorksThe DevX sandbox is a virtual use-case simulator that allows developers partners and customers to experience the journey for themselves and then fine tune the experience to achieve precisely what they are looking for when building applications for identity proofing know your customer KYC and authentication. Some of the granular capabilities and benefits provided by DevX for evaluating authentication and identity proofing includeUse Cases Developers can follow a simple guided process for testing a plethora of identity capabilities including passwordless access FIDO WebAuthn Drivers License Verify Passport Verify Magic Links for registration and authentication OAuth2 Authorization OpenID Connect Federation as well as Verifiable Credentials which demonstrates how to accept a document issued to an individual by a third party with the relevant authority to do so.Easy Access DevX eliminates the need to install and configure the 1Kosmos platform while providing an interactive hands-on way for developers to learn about passwordless MFA identity proofing and document verification. Registered users are sent a magic link to their phone or email and issued a unique API key and tenant key for instant access to the environment. Faster Development DevX includes code samples comprehensive documentation and walkthroughs for the 1Kosmos SDK for Java PHP .NET and NodeJS so developers can quickly and easily integrate and test the BlockID platform with their applications. By Developers for Developers The DevX dashboard provides all the information developers need to start using the BlockID APIs including a sample application with multiple use cases on how to implement authentication and identity proofing.No Sales Pitch DevX provides developers the freedom to express their use cases while using the 1Kosmos APIs in an environment that is totally separated from the sales process.
