# v1.4.0

**Release Number**: v.1.4.0

**Release Date**: 23rd April, 2024

### Overview

Version 1.4.0 of eSignet introduces a new authentication mode and addresses known issues.

1. **Knowledge Based Identification (KBI)**

   We are excited to share that eSignet has expanded its authentication options to include Knowledge Based Identification (KBI) as one of its factors. With eSignet's integration capabilities, existing ID repositories storing user specific details can now be easily integrated with eSignet. This integration enables OpenID based login, allowing users to access relying party services seamlessly.

1. **Fixes for known issues from v1.3.0**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**

1. The authentication factor can be referred to as either Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) or Knowledge Based Identification (KBI). However, from the eSignet’s perspective, we will specifically refer to the authentication method as Knowledge Based Identification (KBI).
2. Given the relatively low level of assurance provided by Knowledge Based Identification (KBI), we recommend that Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) / Knowledge Based Identification (KBI) should be used for the issuance of Verifiable Credentials (VC) or certificates rather than serving as a primary method of authentication.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.esignet.io/roadmap-and-releases/versions/v1.4.0.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
