Let's have a quick look at a demonstration of how we can improve the user experience for online payments by using a decoupled authentication approach.
Angela loves to use the Limitless Ambition website to buy sporting apparel.
She has seen a pair of tights that she would like to buy.
So she adds the tights to her shopping cart, and proceeds to check out.
Angela has traditionally used her credit card to pay for purchases on the site, but now wishes to pay directly from her AnyBank bank account.
She chooses to check out with AnyBank to complete her purchase.
Now Angela opens the AnyBank mobile app on her phone and proves her identity with the fingerprint swipe.
She then opts to generate a one time user identifier which she can safely share with Limitless Ambition.
This allows her to link her bank account without divulging any private information.
Angela types the one time identifier into the Limitless Ambition site and she instantly receives a payment authorization message on her phone.
She reviews the details in the AnyBank app and approves the payment with her fingerprint.
As soon as Angela has approved the request on her phone, Limitless Ambition is able to affect the payment through a direct API call to the bank.
AnyBank uses the Ping Identity platform to enable this flow.
Leveraging a new OpenID Connect standard called Client Initiated Back Channel Authentication, or CIBA for short.
Thanks for watching.
