OpenID for SSI aims to specify protocols based on OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 to enable self-sovereign identity (SSI) applications. This initiative is conducted by the OpenID Foundation in collaboration with the Decentralized Identity Foundation. One specification builds upon the DID-SIOP and SIOPv1 standards. Using OpenID Connect allows for variety in SSI technology choices like identifiers, credentials, and cryptography while leveraging existing OpenID Connect implementations, libraries, and developer familiarity. Demonstrations show credential presentation and issuance via OIDC4SSI specifications.
