About Authlete

Authlete operates in the identity and access management sector, providing a specialized service for developers of digital services. The company offers a backend solution that simplifies the implementation of OAuth and OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocols, which are essential for secure API-based communication, authentication, and authorization. Authlete's service allows developers to forward incoming requests to their system, which then manages the protocol steps and issues tokens on behalf of the client's OAuth OIDC server. This reduces the time and cost associated with following identity standards and ensures compliance with Financial-grade API (FAPI) requirements. Authlete serves a diverse range of clients, including financial institutions and digital service providers, who require robust security measures for their API communications. The company generates revenue through a subscription-based model, offering both shared and dedicated cloud solutions. By offloading complex protocol operations to Authlete, clients can focus on their core business activities while ensuring secure and efficient identity management.
