Streamline API Gateways with WebAssembly for Dynamic IDV Rules
Blog post from Didit
WebAssembly (Wasm) filters, when integrated into API gateways, provide a powerful solution for enforcing dynamic identity verification (IDV) and fraud prevention rules efficiently and securely at the edge. This approach minimizes latency, enhances security, and reduces infrastructure costs by processing IDV logic closer to the user, thus avoiding the need to redeploy entire backend services for rule updates. Wasm's design allows developers to write custom filters in languages like Rust or Go, compile them to Wasm, and deploy them on various platforms, offering near-native performance, sandboxed security, and resource efficiency. This method is particularly advantageous for applications requiring real-time identity checks, as it combines Didit's AI-native identity verification capabilities with Wasm's agility to provide robust ID Verification, Liveness, and AML Screening dynamically. Businesses benefit from rapid compliance updates, streamlined fraud prevention, and a seamless user experience, transforming API gateways into intelligent decision-making layers while maintaining regulatory adherence.
