Identity First Tech

The FOSS implementation of the OpenID Connect for Identity Assurance specification, eKYC Hub, is now planned to take part in the eKYC Interop Testing. The aim of the eKYC Interop Testing Event is to bring implementers of OpenID Connect for Identity Assurance - relying parties and identity providers - together to gather experience regarding real-world interoperability of their implementations. One cornerstone of the testing will be the official eKYC test suite provided by the OpenID Foundation.

The FOSS implementation of the OpenID Connect for Identity Assurance specification, eKYC Hub, has now been updated to support the recent version of the specification, which is available here https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-4-identity-assurance-1_0.html.

The Identity First Tech community releases a free and open-source framework, called eKYC Hub, that implements the OpenID Connect for Identity Assurance specification and can be used by any Identity Provider to allow for exchange of verified user attributes with client applications.

The Identity First Tech community officially launches. The aim of the community is to gather security and identity professionals from around the world to exchange and promote knowledge on the use of identity technology in building reliable and secure systems. Identity is the foundational building block when it comes to security, yet it is often not prioritised when applications and systems are being developed.
