FedIAM

FedIAM is an experimental login / access control system which allows any web site to support sign-in with OpenWebAuth (and other protocols).

It can also act as an OpenWebAuth home instance, and allow you to use a local Fediverse identity to sign in to other OpenWebAuth sites, but it is not a complete home instance implementation; to do this it requires support from an actual Fediverse instance running alongside it.

Description

An experiment with some possibilities for federated single sign-on.

Suppose you want to allow people to log in to your web site. How will they identify themselves? With a username and password? We've all got far too many of those already, and they're not even particularly secure. Perhaps with a Google or Facebook account? That's a lot easier, but do we really want to allow these companies even further into our lives?

FedIAM is a research project which aims to offer an alternative: using Fediverse and IndieWeb protocols, visitors can log in using any one of thousands of small, independent networks run by ordinary people - or even using a provider that they host themselves, independently of any outside influence.
