Implementing Level of Identification (LoI) with ASP.NET Core Identity and Duende

This article explores how to implement Level of Identification (LOI) in an ASP.NET Core application. The solution uses Duende IdentityServer as the OpenID Connect provider and ASP.NET Core Identity for user management. Identity verification is performed using the Swiyu Public Beta infrastructure. Any OpenID Connect client can consume the loi claim together with the loa […]

Implementing Level of Authentication (LoA) with ASP.NET Core Identity and Duende

This post shows how to implement an application which requires a user to authenticate using passkeys. The identity provider returns three claims to prove the authentication level (loa), the identity level, (loi) and the amr claim showing the used authentication method. Code: https://github.com/swiss-ssi-group/swiyu-passkeys-idp-loi-loa Blogs in this series: The amr claim and the loa claim returns […]

Digital Authentication and Identity validation

This post looks at authentication and identity validation and describes what should be validated and some of the concepts. With the increasing push to move processes to a digital world and the new threat models, authentication and identity validation MUST be implemented in a professional way. Using standards like OpenID Connect, OAuth and OpenID VCs […]

Implement forgot your password using swiyu, ASP.NET Core Identity and Aspire

This post show to implement a “Forgot your password” flow using the Swiss Digital identity and trust infrastructure, (swiyu) in an ASP.NET Core web application using ASP.NET Core Identity and Duende IdentityServer. The generic containers from swiyu are used to integrate the Swiss E-ID and the OpenID for Verifiable Presentations standards. .NET Aspire is used […]

Implement MFA using swiyu, the Swiss E-ID with Duende IdentityServer, ASP.NET Core Identity and .NET Aspire

The post shows how to use the Swiss Digital identity and trust infrastructure, (swiyu) as an MFA method in an ASP.NET Core web application using ASP.NET Core Identity and Duende IdentityServer. The generic containers from swiyu are used to integrate the Swiss E-ID and the OpenID for Verifiable Presentations standards. Code: https://github.com/swiss-ssi-group/swiyu-idp-mfa-aspire-aspnetcore Blogs in this […]

Use swiyu, the Swiss E-ID to authenticate users with Duende and .NET Aspire

This post shows how to authenticate users using Duende IdentityServer and ASP.NET Core Identity which verifies identities (verifiable digital credentials) using the Swiss Digital identity and trust infrastructure (swiyu). The swiyu infrastructure is implemented using the provided generic containers which implement the OpenID for Verifiable Presentations standards as well as many other standards for implementing […]

Issue and verify credentials using the Swiss Digital identity public beta, ASP.NET Core and .NET Aspire

This post shows how to issue and verify identities (verifiable credentials) using the Swiss Digital identity and trust infrastructure, (swiyu), ASP.NET Core and .NET Aspire. The swiyu infrastructure is implemented using the provided generic containers which implement the OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance and the OpenID for Verifiable Presentations standards as well as many other […]

Issue and verify BBS+ verifiable credentials using ASP.NET Core and trinsic.id

This article shows how to implement identity verification in a solution using ASP.NET Core and trinsic.id, built using an id-tech solution based on self sovereign identity principals. The credential issuer uses OpenID Connect to authenticate, implemented using Microsoft Entra ID. The edge or web wallet authenticates using trinsic.id based on a single factor email code. […]

Use multiple Microsoft Entra Verified ID credentials in a verification presentation

This post shows how a Microsoft Entra ID verified employee credential can be used together with a self attestation credential to unlock a door. Using this, a person can prove they know a code and prove their employee status. Code: https://github.com/swiss-ssi-group/EntraEmployeeUnlockDoor Get your Verified Employee credential To use this app, the Microsoft Entra employee credential […]

Application security context models

This article looks at a new concept for creating application security context models for modern solutions using best practice security. By using security context models in projects, a qualitative and secure authentication solution can be produced quicker and more efficient. At present, too many solution architects try to patch the security architecture after the application […]
