Federated Identity

Referenced by: Commune, Fedi v2, Weird

Tags: Decentralized

Allow for validating one's identity without relying on a specific centralized server

Implementations:

• Private and public keypairs
• IndieAuth by The IndieWeb
  • Supported by Rauthy which the Commune community endorses

Self hosted identity providers are NOT enough to be considered federated identity

• OIDC and OAuth require the service owner to have pre-configured with explicitly allowed identity providers

Incremental Social uses Zitadel which does NOT support IndieAuth and probably won't
