Project pageAims of ZXID Project
ZXID aims at full stack implementation of all federated identity management and identity web services protocols. Initial goal is supporting SP role, followed by ID-WSF WSC and IdP roles.
ZXID is light weight, has a small foot print, and is implemented in C. It is suitable for both high performance and embedded applications. Scripting languages are supported using SWIG, including Perl, PHP and Java. The "full stack" nature of ZXID means it's self contained and has minimal external library dependencies (see downloads).
Targeted Federated Identity Standards
-
SAML 2.0 (SP role 98% done)
-
SAML 1.1 (Assertion Consumer role 60% done)
-
Liberty ID-FF 1.2 (SP role 62% done)
-
WS-Federation 1.0 Basic Profile (Assertion Consumer role 40% done)
Targeted ID Web Services Standards
-
Liberty ID-WSF 2.0 (80% done)
-
Liberty ID-WSF 1.1 (40% done)
Approach
ZXID consists of C libraries. Some of these libraries are generated from schema grammar descriptions using a tool called xsd2sg.pl, part of Plaindoc distribution. Other libraries that express flows and processing rules are hand-written. The language bindings, other than C, are generated automatically using swig(1).
