OpenID Connect specifications published as ISO standards I’m thrilled to report that the OpenID Connect specifications have now been published as ISO/IEC standards. I submitted the OpenID Connect specifications for publication by ISO as Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) for the OpenID Foundation in December 2023. Following the ISO approval vote, they are now published. This should foster even broader adoption of OpenID Connect by enabling deployments in jurisdictions around the world that have legal requirements to use specifications from standards bodies recognized by international treaties, of which ISO is one. See https://lnkd.in/g5aZF8CJ for links to the ISO specifications and more details. OpenID Foundation #OpenID #OpenIDConnect #ISO
This feels like excellent and important news Michael Jones - and no doubt it was quite demanding. Congratulations on achieving the milestone. Some obvious questions: 1) Who / how are these standards controlled from here on? Do ISO and OpenID versions have separate lives (I hope not), or are they entangled somehow? Who is in control and what processes are followed? 2) I note and understand your point re standards bodies and international treaties. I am curious still though. There are many, many, elements of systems that jurisdictions rely upon that are not built on specifications controlled by standards bodies recognized by international treaties. The OpenID Connect standards are already in use by government systems in many jurisdictions (Australia included) - what use case(s) drove the decision? [edited to correct typos, questions are the same]
