Incubating features

From time to time, a release of Airlock IAM may include an incubating feature. Such features allow customers to explore a new technology or aspect of the identity and access management field.

What sets incubating features apart:

  • Incubating features are often based on draft standards that may change over time and, therefore, require breaking changes in the feature. Such changes may be included in minor product versions.
  • Incubating features are intended for proof-of-concept implementations to explore new and innovative solutions. They may be used for production purposes if the risk of major changes in the feature is acceptable to the customer.
  • Incubating features do not require licensing during their incubation period. However, they may require additional licensing once they reach maturity.

Currently, the following IAM incubating features are available:

  • Self-sovereign identities (SSI)
    Self-sovereign identities represent a new paradigm in identity management, placing the end-user in control of all personal data. SSI is the underlying standard for the new E-ID in Switzerland and the EUDI in the European Union. The legal base is expected to be put into force in 2026/2027.
  • Scriptable step overview - an incubating feature
    Some Airlock IAM customers may have unique requirements that are difficult to address with a standardized product. The new Scriptable Step allows these customers to easily implement solutions for those requirements.
