Introduction
Telefónica's Ideas Locas team develops projects and research in different fields and proposes a new universe for you to experiment, ideate, learn and innovate
The challenge they propose is the following:
The implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) technologies has become a necessity to protect digital assets against unauthorized access. Latch, an innovative MFA solution, offers the possibility of adding an additional layer of security through a system of "digital latches". On the other hand, API gateways, such as Kong, play a crucial role in managing and securing data traffic in microservices architectures and distributed applications.
Integrating Latch with an API gateway presents a unique opportunity to improve security and access control at the path level, enabling granular latch- and sub-latch-based traffic management with Latch.

Challenge raised
The proposal is to develop a system that integrates Latch's "digital latch" technology with an API gateway (preferably Kong or a similar alternative) to control access to traffic on different routes. The main objectives are: Implement a "general latch" using Latch to block or allow all traffic on the gateway.
Create "sub-latches" for specific paths, allowing granular access control.
Develop an integration between Latch and the chosen gateway that allows:
Configure and manage latches (general and specific) through an admin interface.
Make routing decisions based on the status of the Latch latches.
Design and implement security policies that define how and when Latch locks are enforced.
Develop a test suite
Evaluate the impact of the solution in terms of security, performance, and usability.
