Open Standards

OpenID 2.0

Sxip has merged the technology and use cases of the Simple Extensible Identity Protocol (SXIP) and Digital Identity Exchange (DIX) into the OpenID 2.0 specifications. OpenID is an emerging Identity 2.0 protocol that is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity. New features in OpenID 2.0 include improved extensibility, increased security, substantive identity data attribute exchange abilities, and third-party signed assertion capabilities.

IETF

The Internet Engineering Task Force is a large, open and international community of internet professionals that establishes internet protocol standards, such as http, TCP/IP and the SMTP email protocol. Since autumn 2005, Sxip has been involved with the IETF with the objective to work with other industry leaders in establishing an industry-wide standard for user-centric identity management.

OASIS

Sxip is a member of Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards, the standards body for e-business and web services. It is a not-for-profit, international consortium that drives the development, convergence, and adoption of standards such as XML, SAML and PKI.

Open Source Initiative

The OSI is a non-profit dedicated to managing and promoting the Open Source Definition for the good of the community, specifically through the OSI Certified Open Source Software certification mark and program. Sxip is working with them to ensure that the emerging identity standards can be implemented in open source with no restrictions.
