Yeah I’m not sure what’s going on either. Is this just a rebranding of mutual-auth SSL client certs?

It is a different technology with some different edge cases so I wouldn't call it a rebranding but in the broad scope yes. The problem with this stuff was always the integration, not the tech.

Kind of. With the sharp edges filed off. There's no CA though. The web site provisions and authorizes the client's key at onboarding.
