Helping facilitate a world where we can all prove our identity and eligibility anywhere, using a simple universally trusted ID
We have one purpose: to create a community for all those involved in the ID sector to connect and collaborate. Together we create the rules, tools and confidence to support the acceptance of universally trusted IDs and eligibility information.
A guide to creating interoperable Trusted Identities through the development of Trust Frameworks. These can be used by anyone responsible for defining and implementing Trust Frameworks and considering thier interoperability. It is also useful for those who rely on the trust provided through a Trust Framework or Trust Scheme, including regulators and buyers of trust.
The OIX Directory is the definitive list of participants in the Identity Ecosystem. It includes entries for Trust Frameworks and Schemes, and those who regulate these. It also provides listings of suppliers of identity services of all kinds: Identity Providers, Identity Technology Providers, Evidence Verifiers and organisational ID solution providers. Importantly it shows you who is certified to operate under which Trust Frameworks or Schemes, and what level and type of certification they have achieved.
Our Members represent all aspects of the Identity sector -
from ID Tech vendors and Scheme Operators to client organisations in financial services, government, travel etc.
