ID Authentication is built as an independant service that can be seeded with data for authentication by any system including MOSIP. In the current design we can have multiple IDA modules running from a single issuer.
ID Authentication (IDA) module of MOSIP consists of the following services:
Authentication Services
OTP Service
Internal Services
The services mentioned below are used by Authentication/e-KYC Partners.
Authentication service- used to authenticate an individual's UIN/VID using one ore more authentication types.
KYC Authentication service- used to request e-KYC for an individul's UIN/VID using one ore more authentication types.
OTP Request Service is used by Authentication/e-KYC Partners to generate OTP for an individual's UIN/VID. The generated OTP is stored in IDA DB for validation during OTP Authentication.
Internal Authentication Service - The authentication service used by internal MOSIP modules such as Resident Service, Registration Processor and Registration Client to authenticate individuals.
Internal OTP Service - used by Resident Service to generate OTP for an Individual for performing OTP Authentication.
Authentication Transaction History Service - used by Resident Service to retrieve paginated list of authentication and OTP Request transactions for an individual.
ID Authentication uses credential data of the individuals for performing authentication.
This credential is requested by ID Repository upon any UIN insertion/update or VID creation.
WebSub invokes the credential-issuance callback in ID Authentication where the credential data is downloaded from Datashare and then stored into IDA DB.
ID Authentication needs the below keys to be generated during the deployment for usage in Authentication Service.
IDA IDENTITY_CACHE(K18) symmetric key to encrypt and decrypt the Zero-knowledge 10K random keys
IDA ROOT master key(K15)), IDA module master key(K16), IDA-SIGN master key
Base keys CRED_SERVICE(K22), IDA-FIR(K21), INTERNAL(K19), PARTNER(K20)
This is a reference application to demonstrate how authentication and KYC can be performed by Authentication Partners.
