\section{Introduction}
|
|
|
|
|
|
The proliferation of blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps) has created new challenges for identity and access management. Traditional IAM systems, designed for centralized architectures, struggle to accommodate the unique requirements of Web3 ecosystems: self-sovereign identity, cryptographic authentication, cross-chain interoperability, and privacy preservation.
|
|
|
|
Current Web3 authentication approaches suffer from fragmentation. Users must manage separate identities across different blockchains, dApps rely on wallet signatures without proper session management, and enterprises cannot integrate blockchain identities with existing IAM infrastructure. This fragmentation creates security vulnerabilities, poor user experience, and barriers to institutional adoption.
|
|
|
|
Lux.id addresses these challenges through a unified IAM platform that bridges traditional and decentralized identity models. Our system provides:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \textbf{Multi-protocol support}: Native implementation of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML 2.0, CAS, LDAP, and RADIUS protocols
|
|
\item \textbf{Advanced authentication}: WebAuthn for passwordless login, TOTP for time-based authentication, configurable MFA support
|
|
\item \textbf{Blockchain integration}: Wallet-based authentication, DID support, NFT-gated access, and on-chain identity verification
|
|
\item \textbf{Enterprise readiness}: RBAC/ABAC authorization, audit logging, compliance features, and high availability
|
|
\item \textbf{Performance}: Sub-100ms authentication latency with horizontal scalability
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|

The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: Section 2 discusses the Casdoor foundation and architectural decisions. Section 3 details our multi-protocol authentication support. Section 4 covers advanced security features. Section 5 presents blockchain identity integration. Section 6 describes user management capabilities. Section 7 explains integration with the Lux ecosystem. Section 8 provides technical architecture details. Section 9 analyzes security architecture. Section 10 addresses privacy and compliance. Section 11 presents performance metrics. Section 12 concludes with future directions.
