Customers to gain greater value from digital
identity products and services
Ping Identity, the Intelligent Identity solution for the
enterprise, joined the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) to
help forge open standards for protecting digital identities.
The Digital Identity Foundation aims to develop an open
ecosystem for decentralized management of digital identities, and
ensure interoperability between all participants. The goal is to
help people and organizations gain control over their digital
identities, enabling them to conduct trusted online transactions
and interactions safely.
“Open standards allow our customers to gain the most value from
their investments in identity products and services,” said Andre
Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. “It gives organizations
greater independence over the technologies they choose, and users
more control over their identities. An open, standards-based
approach to digital identity management holds the key to better
privacy, lower fraud, and better user experiences for both
employees and customers.”
Ping Identity has been a leading proponent of open standards for
personal identity since its inception. The company is actively
involved in the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web
Authentication and Verifiable Credentials Working Group. It is also
a major participant in the standard setting bodies for the OpenID
Foundation and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Ping
Identity also recently announced its Project COVID Freedom
initiative, which provides an open, standards approach to managing
digital COVID-19 vaccine certifications.
Ping Identity will collaborate with more than 600 members in
active DIF working groups, sharing its knowledge in standards-based
solutions for trustworthy digital identities. The company will help
develop technical specifications for protocols, components, and
data formats for digital identities. It will also help develop open
source reference implementations that enable creation, resolution,
and discovery of decentralized identifiers and names across
decentralized systems, like blockchains and distributed ledgers, to
name a few of the Foundation’s efforts.

The Decentralized Identity Foundation was founded in 2017 to
serve as a hub for open-source and emerging standards development
for the decentralized identity ecosystem. It was incorporated into
the Linux Foundation in 2019, and its membership now numbers over
