Modernizing and developing a highly scalable and responsive identity management system

Our client is a leading telecommunications operator in Poland. Our tasks were to develop new identity management solutions and to migrate 120 previously integrated systems and applications to the new architecture, along with the support for other providers. Additionally, we also carried out the migration from secret decentralized databases to a new centralized structure, which included enhancing the encryption level.

Our team was responsible for most of the project – from analysis and design, through the implementation of new solutions, migration between versions, testing, training, maintenance and post-implementation assistance. The functionalities we created included a federated authentication and authorization system, user authentication and authorization, easy onboarding for a mobile (TMForum) federation between applications for microservice platforms, anomaly paternity detection, seamless authentication, two-factor authentication and enhancement to n-factor A scenarios, devices’ whitelists, backchannel authentication, biometric verifications and sensitive data protection – through consent and permission management.

The solutions we prepared were based on a microservice architecture using containerization, which enabled high scalability and responsiveness (max 10ms). The multi-level system ensures full customization and can be easily audited at different levels.
