Open protocol for federated identity

Read the spec

Stewarded by Föreningen Idun — a non-profit association, so no single company can close it.

An open protocol bridging identity to the federated social web.

Commitments

  • Met 1 Funded by users

    Föreningen Idun is funded by its members, who are the people implementing the specification. Nobody buys a say in it.

  • Not claimed 2 No competition for time

  • Met 3 You can leave

    An identity is portable by construction: move it between issuers and services without asking any of them.

  • Met 4 Everyone is real

    The proof is issued by a third party and carries one claim — that a person is behind it. Implementers never receive the identity.

  • Met 5 Nobody owns the layer

    Stewarded by a non-profit association whose statutes prevent it from selling or licensing the specification. Implement it without a licence, a fee, or a conversation.
