Nok Nok S3 Authentication Suite
Authentication is the "front door" to digital services.
The Nok Nok™ S3 Authentication Suite (S3 Suite) provides passwordless authentication that is more convenient and user friendly than legacy authentication, and is more secure than legacy 2FA, resulting in improved user engagement and greater security.
The Nok Nok S3 Suite addresses a wide variety of authentication use cases:
From frictionless on-boarding and progressive profiling, through easy bootstrapping of new devices and account recovery, to suspension and deprovisioning of users
Passwordless authentication support for Desktop Web, Mobile Web, Mobile Apps, Smartwatch Apps and integration for authenticating to call centers
Authentication to cloud services and - in combination with the Nok Nok IoT SDK - to IoT devices
Passwordless Authentication
Across Any Channel
The Nok Nok passwordless customer authentication platform delivers omnichannel, frictionless authentication to any device. The platform’s extensible architecture allows you to support third party biometric products or new authenticators and biometric modalities - as soon as they hit the market.
With unique technologies like Nok Nok™ Silent Authentication and strong device binding, the need for explicit user authentication for certain actions is eliminated. Additionally, Nok Nok™ Quick Authentication makes passwordless authentication faster in high latency environments by reducing the number of network connections required.

Adaptive Authentication
Nok Nok adaptive policies allow you to easily configure authentication rulesets that dynamically respond to context. This is typically required when following a Continuous Adaptive Risk and Trust Assessment (CARTA) approach or implementing PSD2 SCA.
By using the Nok Nok S3 Suite adaptive policies combined with strong signals generated by the Nok Nok App SDKs, contextual information provided by business applications and even risk signals provided by 3rd party risk tools, you can (i) avoid additional authentication prompts, (ii) trigger authentication sequences, or (iii) deny access.

Easy to Integrate
The Nok Nok S3 Authentication Suite is easy to integrate with systems that provide additional contextual information, such as external risk engines and behavioral biometric systems. Additionally, the S3 Suite integrates well into progressive profiling approaches and allows for the easy enrollment of new users.
The flexible platform within Nok Nok’s S3 Suite allows for integrating remote identity proofing engines and supports multiple account recovery options. The S3 Suite also allows users to register multiple authenticators, reducing the need for requiring an account recovery process. The S3 Suite’s Plugin for Access Management integrates with any identity provider and fits into your existing IAM stack.
Nok Nok App SDKs make it easy to leverage the authenticators on any device through a single developer API - abstracting away the platform differences and reducing implementation complexity.
