Different rules, different threats, one authentication layer.
Phishing-resistant authentication for citizen services
Meet NIST SP 800-63B-4 requirements with passkeys and adaptive MFA. No citizen disruption.
Accessible and inclusive by design
Passkeys, biometrics, and push notifications. Multiple pathways for diverse citizen populations, including low-tech users.
Drops in on existing citizen identity infrastructure
Layer on top of Login.gov, Singpass, RealMe, Azure AD B2C, or any government IdP. No platform migration.
Audit-ready from deployment
SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001, FIDO certified. Full audit trails for every authentication event. Evidence-grade compliance reporting.
Why government authentication is different
Verification Requested
City Services is requesting proof of age. Share only "over 18" — not your name or address.
Challenge 01
Millions of citizens, diverse digital literacy. Authentication must work for tech-savvy urban users and rural populations accessing services for the first time.
Challenge 02
Citizen identity systems were built a decade ago. Login.gov, RealMe, Singpass, and agency-specific portals all need modern auth without re-platforming.
Challenge 03
Accessibility mandates (WCAG, Section 508) mean authentication cannot rely on a single modality. Passkeys, biometrics, and push must all be available.
Challenge 04
Cross-agency federation and shared services mean one weak authentication link compromises trust across the entire digital government ecosystem.
Government authentication standards are being rewritten. Here's what's changing.
- NIST SP 800-63B-4, phishing-resistant MFA mandatory for AAL2+ federal systems (live Jul 2025)
- eIDAS 2.0, EU member states must issue citizen digital identity wallets (Dec 2026)
- US Executive Order on Cybersecurity, zero trust architecture mandates for federal agencies
- NZ IPP 3A, reasonable identity verification before collecting personal info (May 2026)
- Australia AGDIS, private sector digital identity integration (Nov 2026)
- mDL expansion, mobile driver's licences accepted in 21+ US states
Passkeys and adaptive MFA for tax filing, benefits claims, and permit applications. Accessible across devices and digital literacy levels.
One authentication layer across multiple agencies and shared services. Consistent identity verification without per-agency builds.
Ready for eIDAS 2.0 wallets, mDL verification, and verifiable credential flows. Future-proof citizen identity.
Passkeys, biometrics, push, WhatsApp OTP. Multiple pathways to meet WCAG and Section 508 accessibility requirements.
