FIDO-Inspired Authentication System

This authentication system is developed as part of a master thesis and is inspired by the FIDO protocol specifications defined by the FIDO Alliance. The system consists of four key components: an authenticator iOS application, a client application, a polling server serving as the authenticator back-end, and a relying party server. A lattice-based digital signature scheme facilitates authentication.

Features

• Implements FIDO-inspired authentication protocol.
• Integration with iOS devices for the authenticator application.
• Provides seamless authentication experience for users.

System Components

1. Authenticator iOS Application:

   • Developed using Swift programming language and iOS frameworks.
   • Enables secure authentication using a lattice-based digital signature scheme.
   • Provides user-friendly authentication interfaces.
   • Respponsible for generat8ing key pairs during registration and producing signatures during authentication.

2. Client Application:

   • Interacts with the authenticator (via the polling server) and the relying party server.
   • Initiates authentication and registration requests.

3. Polling Server:

   • Serves as the back-end for the authenticators.
   • Handles queueing of authentication requests and responses.
   • Maintains communication with authenticators and relying party server.

4. Relying Party Server:

   • Receives authentication requests from the client application.
   • Validates authentication responses received from the authenticator via the client application.
   • Manages user accounts and authentication data.
   • Integrates with the client application for seamless authentication flow.
   • Receives and verifies signatures received from the authenticator.

Repository Structure

• Authenticator/: Contains the source code and documentation for the authenticator iOS application.
• client/: Contains the source code and documentation for the client application.
• polling-server/: Contains the source code and documentation for the polling server.
• rp-server/: Contains the source code and documentation for the relying party server.

Installation and Usage

1. Clone the repository using the following command: git clone https://github.com/larsore/TestPlatform.git

2. Start the system by running the relying party server, followed by the polling server, client application, and authenticator iOS application.
