Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Business & Industry
Mission: Open identity exchange (oix) is a technology agnostic, non-profit trade organization of leaders from competing business sectors focused on building the volume and velocity of trusted transactions online. Oix enables members to expand existing identity services and serve adjacent markets. Members advance their market position through joint research and engaging in pilot projects to test real world use cases. The results of these efforts are published via oix white papers and shared publically via oix workshops. Oix members work together to jointly fund and participate in pilot projects (sometimes referred to as alpha projects). These pilots test business, legal, and/or technical concepts or theory and their interoperability in real world use cases. Oix operates the oixnet trust registry, a global, authoritative registry of business, legal, and technical requirements needed to ensure market adoption and global interoperability.
Programs: Oix continued to make progess on the continued development of the oixnet registry, an online registry of trust frameworks and trusted identity systems. It is the first registry developed by global leaders across industry sectors to enable online transactions at higher volumes, velocity, and variety. Oixnet continues to add registrations of trusted identity systems while launching a new oixnet registry website in 2016.
oix is confirmed as part of the lightest project in 2016. Lightest is a project to build a global trust infrastructure that enables transactions in a wide variety of applications. On a global scale, there are an increasing number of electronic transactions that are becoming part of everyday life, and it is necessary to have assistance from authorities to certify electronic identities. Oix's role is as the curator of a two-way global conversation, embracing business, legal, and technical aspects of this complex research project, ensuring that the development of the two code bases "technical code and "legal" code are aligned and interoperable.
oix launched a new website to better support membership and better align with its increased role in global identity projects. The redesign goals included better highlighting oix's project work, oix white papers and oix workshops. Oix invested in updating its bylaws, agreements and policies to ensure currency and better align with increasingly international membership. All updates were unanimously approved by the oix board of directors.
oix continues to publish white papers focused on leading identity topics, while also reporting on current projects. Oix published 10+ new white papers in 2016 in support of these efforts. Oix also launched the "trust framework series" of white papers in 2016 that focuses on the development and governance of trust frameworks while also reporting on global trust framework use-cases. The first white paper in the series will be published in early 2017 with additional series papers confirmed in 2017 and 2018.
