OpenID Federation
Ayrıca şöyle anılır OpenID Connect Federation, federation entity statements, trust chains
OpenID Federation answers the question that appears the moment an identity system has more than a handful of participants: how does a verifier decide it trusts an issuer it has never configured?
Bilateral trust does not scale
Configuring each counterparty by hand works for ten and fails for a thousand. Every new participant needs an agreement with every other, and revoking one means editing configuration everywhere. Federation replaces that with a chain: an entity publishes a signed statement, a trust anchor vouches for it, and a verifier resolves upward until it reaches an anchor it already trusts.
Why it appears in national and sectoral deployments
Because those are exactly the cases where the participant count makes manual configuration untenable, and where an authority already exists that everyone accepts as an anchor. Wherever a country or a regulator is building an identity ecosystem, some version of this problem is being solved.
Where Solidus sits
Configuration-driven, which is honest for the current stage and is the thing that would have to change before a sector-scale deployment is credible.
Nereden geliyor
Bunu başkası belirtti. Solidus bir araya getiriyor.
OpenID Foundation. It defines how large numbers of parties establish trust with one another without every pair negotiating a bilateral agreement: entities publish signed statements about themselves, trust anchors publish statements about the entities beneath them, and a verifier resolves a chain rather than consulting a list it maintains by hand.
Bunu nasıl doğrularsınız
Solidus bunu inşa etmedi. Girdi kavramı açıklıyor.
The specification is public at openid.net. Solidus publishes no entity statement and resolves no trust chain, which is observable in the auth backend's configuration-driven client handling.
