AmbiSecure FIDO Validation Server

AmbiSecure FIDO Validation Server

Secure Authentication. Clear Billing. Full Control.

Passwords are one of the biggest security risks for modern businesses. Phishing
attacks, leaked credentials, OTP fraud, and account takeovers cause financial
loss and erode user trust.

AmbiSecure FIDO Validation Server is a FIDO-based passwordless authentication platform
designed for enterprises that demand strong security, a seamless user
experience, and fully controlled, transparent billing.


How AmbiSecure FIDO Validation Server Is Used by Companies

AmbiSecure FIDO Validation Server is built as a B2B authentication service. Companies
integrate it into their websites or applications, while end users experience
secure, passwordless login without added complexity.


Company Onboarding & Subscription

1. Company Creation

When a company subscribes to AmbiSecure FIDO Validation Server:

  • A unique API Key is generated
  • A subscription plan (Basic, Plus, or Pro) is selected
  • Monthly authentication tokens are allocated
  • Billing cycle start and end dates are defined

The service is fully billing-controlled from day one.


API Key & Integration

What Is the API Key?

The API key securely identifies which company is making authentication requests
to AmbiSecure FIDO Validation Server.

Who Receives the API Key?

  • ✅ Company’s developer or IT team
  • ❌ Never shared with end users

How the API Key Is Used

The API key is added to server-side code when calling AmbiSecure FIDO Validation Server authentication
APIs.


fetch("https://api.ambisecure.ambimat.com/auth/login/start", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "x-api-key": "YOUR_COMPANY_API_KEY"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    username: "user@example.com"
  })
});

Security Note:

API keys must always be stored securely on the server and should never be
exposed in frontend code or public files.


End User Authentication Flow

Passwordless User Login

Once integrated, end users authenticate using FIDO standards such as:

  • Fingerprint
  • Face ID
  • Device or hardware security keys

No passwords. No OTPs. No recovery risks.


Token-Based Usage Model

AmbiSecure FIDO Validation Server follows a transparent, usage-based billing system.

How Tokens Work

  • Each successful user login consumes 1 token
  • Tokens represent real authentication usage
  • Non-authentication actions do not consume tokens

This ensures companies pay only for actual login activity.


Subscription Plans

Each subscription plan includes detailed features listed here:

Token Exhaustion Handling

If a company consumes all monthly tokens:


{
  "error": "TOKENS_EXHAUSTED"
}
  • Authentication requests are temporarily blocked
  • Users cannot log in
  • Access is restored immediately after tokens are added or the plan is upgraded

Billing Lifecycle, Grace Period & Suspension

Billing Cycle

Each subscription operates within a defined billing cycle with clear start and
end dates.

Grace Period

If payment is not completed by the billing end date, a grace period is applied
to prevent immediate service disruption.

Suspension


{
  "error": "PAYMENT_REQUIRED",
  "status": 402
}
  • Login is blocked
  • Authentication APIs are disabled
  • Service resumes automatically after payment confirmation

No manual intervention is required.


Payment & Auto-Restore

Once payment is completed:

  • Subscription status becomes ACTIVE
  • Tokens are unlocked or reset
  • A new billing cycle begins
  • All authentication services resume automatically

Client Admin Panel (Company Side)

Each company receives access to an Admin Panel where they can:

  • View total, used, and remaining tokens
  • Monitor billing start and end dates
  • Track grace period status and alerts
  • View and download invoices
  • Upgrade subscription plans
  • Complete payments
  • Track authentication usage in real time

Everything is updated in real time, giving companies full operational visibility.
