Trust Anchor in Raidiam Trust Platform
In the Raidiam Trust Platform, the Trust Anchor is the infrastructure that enables organizations to build Trust Frameworks with a chosen Trust Scheme: OpenID Federation or PKI/X.509
The Trust Anchor provides the necessary infrastructure and tools to establish trust and verify it during the data exchange:
-
OpenID Federation Support:
When OpenID Federation is used, Raidiam acts as the Trust Anchor in the Trust Chain, allowing participants to verify the trust chain and determine whether the entity requesting authentication is part of the ecosystem and should be granted access to resources.
-
Built-in PKI:
For PKI-based trust, Raidiam supplies a robust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), enabling organizations to manage and verify X.509 certificates. Accredited participants can leverage OAuth mTLS or DPoP sender-constrained tokens, backed by automated certificate and key distribution and rotation.
Benefits of the Trust Anchor
By leveraging the Trust Anchor, organizations benefit from:
-
Flexible Trust Models:
Organizations can select and implement the trust scheme that best fits their ecosystem's regulatory and operational needs.
-
Interoperability Across Ecosystems:
The Trust Anchor enables seamless interaction between different trust schemes, supporting both OpenID Federation and PKI-based trust without fragmentation.
-
Security and Compliance:
By integrating a Trust Anchor, organizations ensure that trust relationships are established and maintained according to strict security standards, whether using federated trust or certificate-based authentication.
The Trust Anchor is a fundamental part of the Raidiam Trust Platform, providing the necessary infrastructure for organizations to establish and manage trust within their ecosystems. By supporting both OpenID Federation and PKI-based trust, it ensures security, scalability, and flexibility in data-sharing frameworks.
