The Alliance for Cyber Security is an initiative of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). This platform was developed in cooperation with the German Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications, and New Media. (BITKOM).

The Alliance for Cyber Security is a combination of a broad range of information on cybersecurity issues and a forum for cooperation with industry, authorities, research, and science, and other institutions.

Why is this membership so important to us? cidaas itself offers several functions to improve security against unauthorized access. For example, in the age of digitalization, the number of endpoints has increased dramatically, so the standardized API security provided by OAuth2.0 and OpenID Connect makes a critical contribution to protecting digital channels.

Tools such as passwordless, secure authentication methods, multi-factor authentication, and fraud detection & botnet detection are also used in the fight against cyber threats.

We are looking forward to the exchange, the discussions and are looking forward to making tomorrow’s world a safer place – now also as part of the Cyber Security Alliance.

The European Cyber Security Month (ECSM) is an awareness campaign of the EU. The European Union Agency for Cyber Security (ENISA), the European Commission and its partners have been promoting this initiative once a year since 2012. In September, there will be exciting activities to watch. This event will look at cybersecurity from the perspective of both citizens and businesses. Its main purpose is to strengthen the security of personal, financial, or internal data and to provide citizens and businesses with measures and best practices to protect themselves online.

We are enthusiastic about the initiative. cidaas is also participating with a free webinar on Smart MFA: multi-factor authentication with convenience and security on 29.09.2020. We look forward to contributing to the ECSM and to an exciting exchange of ideas.

Flutter is an open-source UI framework developed by Google. It is based on the programming language Dart and allows to build a native app for iOS, Android, and web and desktop apps with only one source code.

In identity management, OpenID connect and OAuth2.0 are the de facto standards for secure and reliable user identification and authorization.

The cidaas Flutter SDK is available on pub.dev. There we also show how easy it is to implement the authorization code flow to OIDC.

We will answer your questions:

• How is the access_token stored securely?
• How are the login and logout triggered?
• How do I create Single Sign On easily?

With the cidaas Flutter SDK, you can also use Social Login procedures such as AppleID, Facebook and Device Biometrics authenticate.

Have fun with the development and contact us if you have any questions!
