What are Passkeys? Passkeys are a modern, passwordless authentication mechanism based on FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards. They allow users to securely sign in using cryptographic keys instead of traditional passwords. Unlike passwords, which are static and shareable secrets, passkeys utilize asymmetric encryption —a public-private key pair . The private key is securely stored on the user’s device and never leaves it. What sets passkeys apart from standard WebAuthn credentials

What it is: WebAuthn (Web Authentication) is a modern web standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and FIDO Alliance that enables passwordless , phishing-resistant , and public key cryptography-based user authentication on the web. It is a core component of the FIDO2 framework, alongside CTAP (Client to Authenticator Protocol) . WebAuthn allows browsers and applications to register and authenticate users using a cryptographic key pair stored in a secur

What is it: LDAP/AD Federation is the process of integrating enterprise directory services — such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directories or Microsoft Active Directory (AD) — with external applications or Identity Providers (IdPs) to enable secure and seamless authentication without duplicating user data. LDAP is a protocol standard for querying and modifying directory services over TCP/IP, while AD is a proprietary Microsoft directory service that impl

Keycloak is a robust, open-source Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution. Enterprises value it for standards compliance, cost advantages, and flexibility. However, running Keycloak at scale with high availability, predictable upgrades, and enterprise-grade user journeys requires more than the default distribution. Midships bridges that gap with our Keycloak Accelerator , which delivers: Zero-downtime deployment and operations Autoscaling and high-availability cluste

Identity management stands at the core of digital security for banks, insurers, gaming platforms, and fintech leaders. The challenge is...

For teams building customer journeys, speed and consistency matter just as much as functionality. That’s where the PingOne AIC Accelerator comes in. It allows developers to create and test journeys locally in the same way they would in the cloud. This leads to faster iterations, more confidence, and less back-and-forth between environments. A Client Challenge One of our clients recently faced a roadblock: themes weren’t working in their local setup. They could build the journ

Customer Overview A leading gaming institution in the SEA region, leveraging the Midships Ping AIS Accelerator, sought to modernize the management of their JavaScript-based PingAM scripts, which are integral to their customer journeys. Their objective was to enhance maintainability, strengthen quality controls, and implement a more efficient code review process. This included storing source code in a readable, developer-friendly format to reduce the risk of defects reaching l

Abstract In modern platform engineering, tooling forms the backbone of system performance, security, and scalability. Despite this, many...
