Build an API Gateway for Adaptive Friction with Envoy & WASM

Adaptive friction in modern API gateways involves dynamically adjusting security measures based on real-time risk assessments to balance user experience with robust fraud prevention. Envoy Proxy, a high-performance, open-source edge and service proxy, provides a strong foundation for API gateways, offering features like high performance, extensibility, and dynamic configuration. WebAssembly (WASM) enhances this setup by allowing developers to inject custom, portable logic that can react to real-time signals, enabling rapid iteration and deployment of new policies. Integrating Didit's AI-native identity verification suite within this framework allows for seamless, compliant, and fraud-resistant user journeys. This dynamic approach includes capabilities such as ID verification, liveness detection, and age estimation, which are crucial for enforcing adaptive security policies. By leveraging these technologies, organizations can create secure yet user-friendly experiences, making real-time, intelligent trust and risk decisions.
