The Digital Transformation is driving enterprises in all geographies and throughout most verticals to become open and connected. These enterprises need to digitally engage with their customers, to technologically empower and mobilize their employees, to optimize their current business processes and to ultimately transform their products. At the same time, large-scale cyberattacks and wrongful exploitation of personal data has reached an all-time high and the associated risks are further increasing.
OpenID Foundation Workshops provide technical insight and influence on current digital identity standards while also enabling a collaborative platform to openly address current trends and market opportunities. The OpenID Foundation Workshop at EIC includes a number of presentations focused on 2022 key initiatives for the Foundation.
Application and infrastructure architectures are continuously changing in order to mirror the demands and challenges of organizational needs. A common problem with legacy systems is the inability to understand and adapt to the new business models in an ever-changing world.
So I have just 10 minutes. So I represent very quick, but the first, the title is in household, all this infrastructure as a competition advantage. So it is quite something like weird for forks, but we believe this is the future of our industry because this in-house software development is getting popular in these days. So there are a couple of examples from our customers, which is Newbank. They are developing all credit card system and banking system from scratch using the closure. So very aggressive interested, and this is the, their competitive advantage for the, their service.
The other example is min bank, which is one of the digital bank in Japanese market. So they are also developing the core banking system on a Google cloud from scratch. So they don't want to use other solutions in terms of competitive banking service. So I think all cost developers, we like to develop their own system from scratch, but I understand the all and of body connect system is one of the exceptions because there are a lot of standards and practices and they are still moving target.
So you, you can't track or, or follow, or this kind of standards under its evolution. So I understand because I work in this industry over 20 years from I planet. So I I've been selling the IM solution for customers. So you don't have to build this systems from scratch. So most of our folks in this industry think so, so they provide good solutions, good solutions. So this is identity and access software, or as a service, it has a whole range of services, including user authentication or a service, or sometimes a of decision or subsystem.
And you can customize this system in a small place of the extension point. So you can build or develop your own logic using their own proprietary framework or limited programming languages.
So, which is not a good for the average customers. They don't want to learn the unwanted software languages of frameworks.
So, so let me let's think. So it is what the, our developers want. I don't think so. So they have to, their extension point is very small and using the proper framework or, and they, this kind of system is providing the front channel or endpoints. So the developers can't manage this customer facing or, or mass facing endpoints. So for example, so they, the enterprise often have existing services, which have their own user interface or user experience, but this kinds of system is installed that package, which is, which can be in customized in a hall.
So this is the current situation when the average software is providing. So let me change this situation to, into this, the modern approach. I think so to, for the purpose of a in-house collect service. So the front function should be able to implement it by the customers or developers so they can choose or implement their own IM service or authentic server, or as well as authentic decision service. And then the core function of automatic connect should be installed as a backend of this all, and this is service.
So I, we call this approach is a semi hosted architecture, and which includes oath as a server bucket, which is providing services for the in-house infrastructure, or that would collect. So the customer can modify or, or design the user interface as well as user experience. And this is for developers so they can choose their own programming languages or where public framework, or even they can deploy anywhere, either a public cloud or private cloud or some other managed environment.
So, so this approach is other solution. So we provide the provides server backend.
So, which has two main features. The one is the protocol operations in terms of Allconnect. The other function is token lifecycle management. So the API providers can offload these functions to our services so that they can implement the front channel for other clients and users, which has a lot of latest functions, including our final grade API or identity assurance service.
So, so this is a, maybe this is something new for this, this industry, but this is very simple. Or I like this circus diagram. So this authorizing the backend and the developers can implement the server as a front end of this service. So this author server can manage the request from the API clients, by a user agent. And then this server just forward the content of request to our API, and we can recognize these parameters. And then we make a response how to, for, to authentic server to how to manage the response. So the Han server is very simple or in terms of ations and so management.
So the backend has a lot of standards developing the market. So from the all body providers to other adverse certifications like financials to assurance or so our solution is the first to implement a lot of coffee has the founders or other frameworks in the countries like Brazil or UK.
So, and this unique approach has a lot of customers who are successful deployments so far. So financial industries, the new bank, which is the largest digital bank in the world using our service. And also the mid bank in Japan was using the, the API is not for just for financial industries, but whole world. So the customers, including B2B space or media companies or other education or some, this solution is very familiar to systems integrated because they want to develop the system for their customers. So they don't want to deploy, just deploy the IM software they want to customers.
So it is very acceptable for them. So the one use case is a division media, which is a Belgium company media company, which has 10, 1,000 or 1400 subscribers. And they wanted to build their own consumer IM infrastructure, but the existing solution can't meet their requests because it has doesn't have extensibility or controllability.
So, so we provide solutions for the DPC media and they can own or manage is this consumer, I am infrastructure. So and so very agile and controllable infrastructure is built in this media company. So I don't think a few missile second test. So just try all three. So we provide a lot of resources, including tutorials or nudge base, or sample calls or some something like sequence diagram template.
So just, just try our APIs. Thank you.
