Functionalities and services

Prev Next

The Authentication Suite Server SDK provides a couple of services that serve different functionalities.

DPX Import service

The DPX Import service groups the functionalities responsible for the import process, which consists in extracting the Digipass data from the DPX file.

Digipass data import

Digipass Dynamic Authentication service

The Digipass Dynamic Authentication service provides functionalities for different user authentication processes.

Password validation

Password validation with enhanced security

Digipass e-Signature Validation service

The Digipass e-Signature Validation service is used to perform signature validation and integrity control, based on the signature code generated by the user's authenticator, and on custom data fields.

Signature validation

Signature validation with enhanced security

Message signature validation

This is only applicable to hardware or software authenticators compliant with the multi-device two-step activation (in the context of multi-device licensing), or to hardware authenticators based on the single-device licensing model and able to perform operations based on the Secure Channel protocol.

Virtual Mobile Authenticator service

The Virtual Mobile Authenticator service provides a password generation solution to permanently replace a standard hardware authenticator or as a backup solution in combination with a password delivery mechanism.

Password generation

Signature generation

Digipass Management service

The Digipass Management service provides facilities for the authenticator management for help desk and administration purposes.

Digipass unlocking

Digipass static PIN management

Digipass token and host synchronization

Digipass protection key management

Question/Answer service

The Question/Answer service offers the possibility to authenticate users through their answers to a list of questions.

Software Digipass Activation service

The Software Digipass Activation service allows the standard activation of compliant authenticators in offline or online mode. When the software authenticator is activated, settings and secrets are written into the authenticator.

Software Digipass activation data generation with random key generation

Software Digipass Derivation service

The Software Digipass Derivation service allows to derive the Digipass data of a software authenticator based on Digipass SDK 4.0 or later (software authenticator activated with the standard one-step activation).

Digipass Multi-Device Activation service

The Digipass Multi-Device Activation service groups functionalities for multi-device activation (two-step activation) of compliant authenticators (software or hardware).

Payload key BLOB generation

This is only applicable to hardware or software authenticators compliant with the multi-device two-step activation (in the context of multi-device licensing). In addition, payload key BLOBs must be generated only if the Secure Channel feature has been ordered (configured by OneSpan at the time of order). No payload key BLOB must be generated if the Secure Channel feature has not been ordered.

Device code validation

This is only applicable to hardware or software authenticators compliant with the multi-device two-step activation (in the context of multi-device licensing).

Activation message 2 and authenticator instance generation

This is only applicable to hardware or software authenticators compliant with the multi-device two-step activation (in the context of multi-device licensing).

Digipass Secure Channel service

The Digipass Secure Channel service groups functionalities for operations based on the secure channel protocol for compliant authenticators (software or hardware), including the generation of secure channel request messages and deactivation messages, and processing of response messages and information messages.

Request message generation

This is only applicable to hardware or software authenticators compliant with the multi-device two-step activation (in the context of multi-device licensing) and if the secure channel feature has been ordered (configured by OneSpan at the time of order), or to hardware authenticators based on the single-device licensing model and able to perform operations based on the Secure Channel protocol.

Response message processing

This is only applicable to hardware or software authenticators compliant with the multi-device two-step activation (in the context of multi-device licensing) and if the secure channel feature has been ordered (configured by OneSpan at the time of order), or to hardware authenticators based on the single-device licensing model and able to perform operations based on the Secure Channel protocol.

Information message processing

This is only applicable to software authenticators compliant with the multi-device two-step activation (in the context of multi-device licensing) and if the secure channel feature has been ordered (configured by OneSpan at the time of order).

Deactivation message generation

This is only applicable to hardware or software authenticators compliant with the multi-device two-step activation (in the context of multi-device licensing). In addition, payload key BLOBs must be generated only if the Secure Channel feature has been ordered (configured by OneSpan at the time of order).

Payload Key BLOB Management service

The Payload Key BLOB Management service provides facilities for the payload key BLOB management for help desk and administration purposes.

This is only applicable to hardware or software authenticators able to perform operations based on the secure channel protocol.
