Scaling Verify with Wallet for Identity Verification at Uber
Uber integrated Apple’s Verify with Wallet API into its cross-app Identity Verification Platform to support government-backed digital IDs across driver onboarding, age-gated ordering, and car rental use cases. The central challenge was allowing each use case to request only its Apple-approved identity data while operating through a scalable, platform-agnostic service rather than separate integrations. Server-side configurations map Uber identity models to PassKit objects, set one-time or persistent storage intent, and validate responses using HPKE decryption, CBOR payloads, session transcripts, MSOs, device signatures, and issuer certificate chains under ISO/IEC 18013-5. A registry of IACA certificates, sourced from jurisdictional portals and AAMVA’s VICAL, supports overlapping certificate rotations, while the platform is intended to accommodate new document types and cross-platform digital credential integrations.
How to Take Your Enterprise
This installment in a Devday23 presentation series addresses how to move an enterprise-ready SaaS application beyond its MVP. It focuses on the functionality needed to help an application stand out to enterprise customers, including user provisioning and automation that can scale. The stated goal is to support growth from a working MVP toward enterprise adoption. Aaron Parecki shared material on Okta Workflows, provisioning, SaaS application maturity, and SCIM, with links to a SCIM developer video and Workflow Connector Builder tutorials. The broader series also points to upcoming coverage of authentication mechanisms and deployment automation, positioning enterprise readiness as an ongoing progression rather than a single feature.
What Enterprises Look For: Devday23 Enterprise Customer Perspectives
Moving a SaaS application from B2C or small-company B2B customers to enterprise customers raises questions about whether enterprise buyers have different expectations. This installment of the Devday23 enterprise-ready presentation series focuses on what enterprises look for when selecting SaaS applications, with particular attention to identity and how customers would use the application. The WIC Devday 23 virtual conference addressed the topic through a presentation by Jon Lehtinen, director for “Okta on Okta” products at Okta. The broader series also covers enterprise readiness, authentication considerations, user management, authentication mechanisms, building an enterprise-ready MVP SaaS app, and taking that app beyond MVP, while the supplied text does not provide the presentation’s specific answers or conclusions.
