This document constitutes the **official dataroom** for the **Authentify It application suite**. It has been designed as a reference guide for technical partners, developers, auditors, and stakeholders who wish to understand both the architecture and the inner workings of the Authentify ecosystem. Its primary purpose is informational: it provides a transparent and comprehensive view of how the suite operates, what technologies are used, and how the overall design ensures reliability, scalability, and security.

The documentation is divided into several major areas:

* **Architectures**: A general overview of the Authentify It system as a whole, followed by detailed descriptions of the two core applications that make up the suite. Each application is presented with its architecture, its objectives, and the specific functionalities it offers for different user categories.
* **User & Brand Journey**: A step-by-step analysis of the user flow, describing how a user interacts with the applications, from the initial entry point to the full Authentify experience. This section clarifies how the system’s technical design supports seamless interaction, authenticity verification, and value-added services.
* **Data Management**: An in-depth look at the data models and storage strategies used by Authentify. This includes the type of database selected, the rationale behind this choice, the way data is structured, and how it is processed to ensure both performance and integrity. Examples of key data models are also provided to illustrate the consistency of the design.

Because **security** is central to Authentify’s mission, a dedicated section of this documentation focuses on the **layers of protection implemented across the platform**. Among the measures explained are:

* The use of middleware to manage access rights and enforce role-based permissions.
* Logging and monitoring systems that help detect and respond to abnormal behavior.
* Integration of third-party services specialized in securing digital assets.

To enhance clarity, this documentation contains multiple **technical diagrams**. These diagrams illustrate the relationships between the various components, the flow of information within the architecture, and the way functionalities are executed in practice. By relying on these visual representations, readers can better grasp not only the current architecture but also potential evolutions of the system.

Another essential component of the documentation is the description of the **external infrastructure** that Authentify integrates with in order to operate effectively. The platform does not function in isolation: it is designed to leverage specialized services that reinforce its capabilities and ensure operational excellence. Notably:

* **Fireblocks** is employed for the non-custodial management of user wallets, ensuring that users remain in control of their assets while benefiting from industry-grade security.
* **Firebase** is used for the secure handling and storage of assets, providing a scalable and robust foundation for managing sensitive data.

Together, these integrations contribute to the robustness, scalability, and security of Authentify It, ensuring that the platform can meet the needs of both end-users and enterprise partners.

By combining architecture transparency, data management clarity, strong security principles, and the integration of trusted external services, this documentation serves as a complete resource for understanding how Authentify It delivers a reliable, secure, and innovative digital experience.
