authID Introduces Secure Identity Platform for Enterprises

Published Date : 8/5/2025 

authID, in partnership with NEC Corporation, introduces the authID Identity Exchange (IDX) platform, designed to enhance enterprise digital identity and access management with biometric-bound, passwordless credentials. 

authID, a leading provider of biometric identity solutions, has launched a groundbreaking platform aimed at closing long-standing gaps in enterprise digital identity and access management (IAM). Built in collaboration with NESIC, a subsidiary of NEC Corporation, the authID Identity Exchange (IDX) leverages biometric-bound, passwordless credentials to prevent phishing attacks and ensure that only verified users can access sensitive systems and data.

At authID, the mission is to address the pain points in today’s identity infrastructure, particularly those that expose large, complex organizations to breaches, fraud, operational friction, and unnecessary compliance risks. According to Rhon Daguro, CEO of authID, “IDX helps redefine how identity verification should work in a Zero Trust world: unphishable, privacy-first, frictionless, and built to secure every identity across the extended enterprise.”

The platform promises to centralize credentials under a single biometric identity, eliminating the ghost accounts and shared passwords that can lead to security breaches. IDX is the first enterprise platform built on the Accountable Digital Identity Association (ADI Association) specification, which is now part of the Secure Identity Alliance (SIA), ensuring alignment with global interoperability and data sovereignty standards.

IDX utilizes authID’s PrivacyKey protocol to authenticate users without storing raw biometric data. This protocol, combined with the FIDO2 standard for strong, passwordless logins, ensures robust security while integrating seamlessly with identity and access management systems such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Ping Identity. The platform remains interoperable with emerging global identity exchanges.

Initial use cases for IDX include enterprise workforce authentication across devices and locations, contractor and vendor onboarding without shared accounts, enhanced supply chain security and access governance, government and public-sector federated credentials, and strong agent authentication for call centers and support desks.

Osamu Kikuchi, EVP, CDO, and CIO at NEC Networks and System Integration Corporation, emphasized the shared vision for a more secure, connected digital future. “Having launched the Japanese Identity Exchange via our Symphonict Trust framework, we’re excited to partner with authID to expand this vision globally,” he said.

Ramesh Kesanupalli, co-founder of the ADI Association and a FIDO Alliance founder, described IDX as “a foundational shift in how enterprises manage identity: decentralized, privacy-first, and built for a connected world.”

Last month, authID formed a strategic partnership with Prove to ensure the integrity of digital identities against the threat of deepfakes. This partnership further solidifies authID’s commitment to providing secure and reliable identity solutions for enterprises.
