OpenID logoI had the pleasure of presenting an overview of OpenID Federation during the 2026 Trust and Internet Identity Meeting Europe (TIIME) unconference in Amsterdam. It was the opening talk in a day dedicated to OpenID Federation – Friday, February 13, 2026. There were ~90 practitioners in attendance. They asked great practical questions, including about how to decide what Federations to trust and the use of Trust Marks.

See the deck I used titled “OpenID Federation Overview” (pptx) (pdf).

I’m really looking forward to what I’ll learn during the discussions today. Many deployments are being described, including the GÉANT eduGAIN OpenID Federation pilot. Plus, there’s a “TechHUB” interop event today during which people will test their OpenID Federation implementations with one another.
