Via Science

Via Science, Inc. — trading as VIA — is a Somerville, Massachusetts security company founded in 2016 that builds decentralized, quantum-resistant data and identity protection for governments, defense agencies and large enterprises. Its products are VIA ZTF (Zero Trust Fabric), a passwordless authentication fabric built on verifiable credentials, a decentralized identity registry and a mobile holder wallet; VIA QT (Quantum Transfer), an end-to-end quantum-resistant large-file transfer service sold direct and as a metered AWS Marketplace AMI; SLAM AI, which lets organizations use generative AI models without exposing confidential data and keeps an immutable record of every prompt, response and data transformation; VIA Wallet; and VIA Secure Chain. VIA raised a $28M Series B led by Bosch Ventures with BMW i Ventures, MassMutual Ventures and Sentinel Global. Its developer surface is an OpenID Connect identity layer — a Keycloak server at auth.solvewithvia.com that serves anonymous OIDC, RFC 8414 and UMA 2.0 discovery documents per product realm — plus ZTF documentation and four runnable reference integrations on GitHub. VIA publishes no OpenAPI or other resource contract for any product.

Via Science is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Identity, Authentication, and Zero Trust.

Via Science’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, pricing, and 19 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
  • Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/via-science/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/via-science to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
