IIIT-B and WSO2 have announced a strategic collaboration to strengthen the open-source single sign-on platform eSignet using a common technology stack.
The International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIIT-B), through its MOSIP project and WSO2 have announced a strategic collaboration to further the development of the open-source single sign-on platform, eSignet, using a common technology stack.
This partnership aims to leverage WSO2’s global expertise in identity and access management (IAM) solutions with IIIT-B’s deep academic and research insights into digital public infrastructure (DPI) and open standards.
eSignet, an open-source platform designed to facilitate secure and seamless digital interactions, will benefit from this joint effort, focusing on enhanced features, security and scalability for global deployment.
The collaboration will specifically focus on:
• Research and Development: Joint efforts on a modern code base to power MOSIP’s eSignet and the WSO2 Identity Platform. This includes new features and support for emerging global digital identity standards.
• Community Building: Working together to foster a vibrant, global developer community around eSignet, encouraging contributions and adoption by various governmental and private entities.
• Ecosystem Enablement: Providing technical guidance and support to organisations looking to implement eSignet for their single sign-on and digital identity needs.
Prof. S. Rajagopalan, President of the MOSIP programme, said: “This collaboration is a significant step in strengthening eSignet’s technological foundation and ensuring its readiness to be a cornerstone of secure, open and inclusive digital identity systems worldwide.”
Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, Founder and CEO of WSO2, said: “Our collaboration with IIIT-B and MOSIP will promote sustainable development and maintenance of open-source solutions, bringing robust, standards-compliant single sign-on capabilities to more users and organisations globally.”
