Hi All, Developing a biometric authenticator is a previously started project for the WSO2 Identity Server for which previous work consists of the implementation of the server-side and a POC developed for Android mobile phones to enable the use of Biometric authentication. The authentication process is conducted by sending a push notification to the mobile phone which requests the user to authenticate using the stored biometrics in the device [1][2]. When proceeding forward we want to rebrand the project as a push-based authenticator (the name is not finalized yet). The rebranding is required as we will be improving the authenticator to support methods other than Biometric authentication (e.g. Authenticate by responding “Yes” to the push notification).
The current progress of the mobile application has a proof of concept developed for Android. We will be selecting React Native as the framework to proceed ahead with development as both Android and iOS will be supported. Using a cross-platform framework gives the ability to maintain a single codebase. The selection of RN is due to it being a matured technology and the most used cross-platform framework in the industry. It also has a large community built around it enabling developers to get support when required. As Phase 1 of this project, we will be developing the application with only the push-based authentication feature. Other methods such as biometric authentication will be supported by later iterations of the application.
