Full Name

This page describes the OpenID specification for Federation.

Context

  • Created by OpenID Connect 1.0 team to specify how a Relying Party (RP) can discover metadata about an OpenID Provider (OP), and then register to obtain RP credentials.
  • This specification describes how two entities that would like to interact can dynamically fetch and resolve trust and metadata for a given protocol through the use of third-party trust anchor.
  • OpenID Connect Federation trust chains rely on cryptographically signed JSON Web Token (JWT) documents.

Taxonomy

  • Entity = a globally named accessible over the internet that has a separate and distinct existence.
  • Trust Anchor = an entity whose main purpose is to issue statements about entities,
  • Entity Statement = a signed JWT that is the core component of the Federation spec.
