Athena Pillars
Platform Management
The platform management module of Athena serves as the central hub for configuring and overseeing various elements crucial for secure identity management. It allows for the initial setup of organisation parameters, specifying the framework within which all identity-related activities occur. User management is streamlined through role-based access controls, defining each role’s permissions within the system. The server architecture comprises central and node servers and is configured to optimise performance and redundancy. Security settings, including encryption and firewall rules, are fine-tuned, and a robust logging mechanism is integrated for audit trails and compliance monitoring.
Functional Identity Software
Athena’s Functional Identity Software module allows organisations to develop their identity software. Customers and partners can leverage Athena’s core strength and use the platform APIs and SDKs to build Functional Identity software that perfectly integrates into existing technical environments and processes. Pre-built applications like for Election Management, and National Identity Systems can be further customised for seamless integration into existing environments.
Integration
The integration module includes comprehensive features for seamless connectivity with various external systems and services. Automated Biometric Identification Systems (ABIS) can be integrated for advanced, secure authentication. Compatibility with external ID systems like MOSIP and OSIA ensures the solution can function within broader identity ecosystems. Customer datasets can be effortlessly merged for a unified view of user identity and activities. Supplier solutions can also be incorporated for specialised identity verification tasks. This holistic approach enhances scalability and functional robustness.
Data Collection & Processing
The Data Collection and Processing module is responsible for the secure acquisition, validation, and storage of identity-related information. Whether biometric data or other data like document scans, this module ensures that the information is stored in a standardised and secure manner.
Foundational Identity
The Foundational Identity manages data that serve as the authoritative source of truth for an individual’s identity, containing essential information such as biographical data (e.g., name, date of birth), biometric data (e.g., fingerprints, facial recognition), and other unique identifiers. The Foundational Identity module is critical for governments looking to create national ID systems, population registers, or voter lists.
