# Introducing Device Binding

The Device Binding module provides secure device registration and authentication capabilities for mobile applications.

It enables applications to bind cryptographic keys to a device and restrict access to those keys, using biometrics, a PIN, and other authentication methods.

The Device Binding module provides two main operations:

* Device Binding

  Registers a new device by creating cryptographic keys and proving device possession through signed JSON Web Tokens (JWTs).

* Device Signing Verification

  Proves device possession using existing keys by signing server challenges for step-up authentication.

## Features

* Multiple Authentication Types

  Restrict access to a bound key with different authentication types, including biometric, biometric with fallback to device credential, application PIN.

  You can also opt to create a hardware-backed key, but not require any additional authentication to unlock it, by selecting `NONE` as the authentication type.

* Hardware Security

  Securely stores keys in the Android KeyStore or iOS Secure Enclave.

* JWT-based Proof

  Leverages industry-standard JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for device verification.

* Flexible Configuration

  Extensive customization options.

* Journey Integration

  Seamless integration with authentication flows
