nextAuth

nextAuth is a multifactor authentication solution offered by nextAuth NV, designed to provide secure and frictionless authentication for online transactions and e-signatures. According to the vendor, it is tailored for small to large enterprises across various industries, including retail and e-commerce, financial services, human resources, IT service providers, and life sciences.

Key Features

Frictionless Authentication: According to the vendor, nextAuth enables users to log into mobile and web applications with a biometric scan on their mobile phone, with a PIN code as a fallback method. It aims to reduce authentication complexity, shorten login time, decrease drop-off rates, and address password fatigue.

Plug in nextAuth and Let us Prevent Account Takeovers and Fraud: The vendor states that by embedding nextAuth's mobile SDK into your app and user's phone, it can be transformed into a secure device. Public key cryptography ensures the private key never leaves the phone and is verified in zero-knowledge by the server, thus preventing impersonation.

Seamless Integration Capabilities and Broad Coverage: The nextAuth server can be deployed on-premise or on your cloud infrastructure. According to the vendor, it offers seamless integration into applications and systems through RESTful API and integrated IdP via SAML or OIDC.

Quick user onboarding: The vendor claims that nextAuth's flexible technology, solid mobile SDK, and RESTful API enable rapid and seamless scaling of the authentication app to new markets and users.

Patented True Multi-Factor Authentication™ Technology: According to the vendor, nextAuth's patented technology prevents impersonation by attackers controlling the nextAuth server or user's mobile device. Logins, authorizations, and signatures made with the nextAuth mobile SDK are claimed to be non-repudiable.

Guaranteed Non-Repudiation And Admissibility: The vendor states that nextAuth allows users to sign documents and confirm transactions in compliance with eIDAS requirements. Public-key cryptography is used to guarantee the authenticity of signatures and make them court-admissible.

Secure Push Notifications and App-Backend Communication: According to the vendor, nextAuth adds a layer of encryption to the push notifications sent to your app, ensuring that only the intended user can read them. It also enables secure message exchange between your app and backend server over a separate secure channel.

Reduce your TCO: The vendor claims that nextAuth can help reduce time spent on authentication issues and eliminate the need for SMS, hardware security modules, tokens, or card readers, potentially lowering costs associated with password-related incidents.

Mobile SDK: According to the vendor, nextAuth's mobile SDKs can be integrated into customer-facing mobile and web apps, enabling mobile passwordless True MFA™ across all devices.

Frictionless and Brandable: The vendor suggests that nextAuth's mobile SDKs can be integrated into native web or mobile apps, allowing users to log in with on-device biometrics while maintaining a branded authentication experience.
