SPIFFE and SPIRE provide a platform-agnostic, zero-trust approach to securing API gateways by issuing short-lived, automatically rotated cryptographic identities, or SVIDs, to workloads instead of relying on static API keys and long-lived tokens. For organizations integrating Didit’s identity verification services, workloads can be registered with SPIRE, authenticated through mutual TLS at a SPIFFE-aware gateway such as Envoy, NGINX, or Kong, and authorized through policies based on validated SPIFFE IDs. The gateway can then securely retrieve and inject Didit’s required API key from a secrets vault, separating workload authentication from third-party credential management. This model aims to reduce credential theft, manual rotation work, unauthorized access, and compliance risks while supporting consistent security across Kubernetes, bare-metal, and other environments. Didit positions its modular, developer-focused platform—including ID verification, liveness checks, AML screening, face matching, proof of address, age estimation, and NFC verification—as compatible with this architecture, offering free core KYC and optional services for scalable identity workflows.
