Mobile app

One of the authentication methods Authentication Cloud offers, is authentication with mobile app that implements the FIDO UAF protocol. This can be achieved with our brandable Access App, or by integrating our Mobile Authentication SDK into your existing application. For more information about these two solutions, see the following pages:

• Nevis Access App
• Nevis Mobile Authentication SDK

note

In the Developer documentation, we use the term mobile app to mean both the Access App and your own app integrated with our mobile SDK.

The use case documentation covers the following cases:

• Registration: registering a new mobile app authenticator. If the user does not exist yet, a new user is created.
• Authentication: authenticating a login operation with the mobile app, using a push notification, QR code or deep link.
• Transaction signing: authenticating transactions for users who are already logged in, using a push notification, QR code or deep link.

Each use case can have multiple variations, the documented flows are only examples. The following list shows some of the notable variations:

• Usernameless authentication: available for authentication and transaction signing operations using QR code and deep link.
• Authenticate with any authenticator: available for authentication and transaction signing operations using QR code and deep link.
• Number matching: available for authentication and transaction signing operations using push notification.
