Authentication

warning

This feature is currently in the experimental stage of development. Do not use it in production environments or presume it is secure. Expect breaking changes.

The Authentication screen allows a user to issue and/or respond to MDIP challenges. A challenge DID is entered (or generated) to the Challenge text field; a user can create a Response DID to the provided challenge. The response to a challenge will prove to the challenger that the responder conrols the private keys of a particular DID.

MDIP Authentication is secure, like 2FA, because it involves more than 1 channel of communication for authenticating a user.

MDIP Authentication is private, unlike OAuth, because it does not expose authentication events to 3rd parties.
