The way we handle digital identity is changing, with government-backed credentials such as the EU Digital Wallet, the Swiss E-ID, and many ISO mDL implementations around the world leading the way. These innovations promise better security and convenience, but they also present a challenge for service providers invested in OpenID Connect-based (OIDC) login systems.
How do you embrace these new credentials without disrupting your existing infrastructure?
Procivis One OpenID Bridge solves this challenge by acting as a universal translator for digital identity. It seamlessly converts data from these new credentials into the OIDC standard your login systems already use, allowing you to accept the latest government-backed digital IDs while maintaining your current technology investment. In this article, we'll look at how Procivis One OpenID Bridge prepares your organization for the future of digital identity while preserving the stability of your existing login operations.
The journey to Procivis One OpenID Bridge
To understand why Bridge matters, let's look at how digital identity has evolved. OIDC has become the backbone of modern login systems for good reasons. It provides a secure, standardized way to handle user authentication across different applications and services. Organizations have built entire ecosystems around OIDC, using off-the-shelf tools and well-tested implementations. It's a solution that just works. But the identity landscape is becoming more complex. New government-backed digital credentials are emerging, each with its own protocols and data models. They don't conform to OIDC standards, and importantly, they don't even share a common standard among themselves. This fragmentation creates a challenge for service providers who need to support these new credentials while maintaining their existing systems.
We developed Procivis One OpenID Bridge after seeing organizations struggle with this exact problem. Many face an impossible choice: either miss out on the benefits of these new credentials or undertake expensive rebuilds of their authentication infrastructure. Procivis One OpenID Bridge eliminates this dilemma by acting as an intelligent intermediary. It understands the various data formats used by different digital credentials and transforms their data into the OIDC format your systems expect. This means you can add support for any credential type Procivis One supports without changing your existing OIDC infrastructure.
