OIX encourages membership from all elements of the ID ecosystem.

If you are a provider of identity services or a representative of an organisation that relies on verified IDs within its business processes, your input into the development of our guidance on trust frameworks and interoperability will be hugely valuable.  

Whether from the public or private sector, a regulator or trade association, media or analyst,

Open market models underpin the development of a sector that is innovative, competitive and focused on user needs. This includes:

More choice for eCommerce and product managers about the policies that they apply to user interactions.

Yes, the key challenge to providing identity assurance at scale is removing the need for direct trust agreements between ID services providers and those who rely on IDs for their business processes. OIX is a membership community for all those involved in the ID sector. Vendors and clients, regulators and influencers connect and collaborate to develop the rules, tools and confidence to create Trust Frameworks for identity in order to accept universally trusted identities.

OIX is an associate member of the Open Wallet Foundation (OWF). This new, collaborative effort will develop open source software to support interoperability for a wide range of wallet use cases, including making payments, proving identity, storing validated credentials such as employment, education, financial standing, and entitlements — to enable trust in the digital future.
