news:
The OpenID Connect Relying Party Metadata Choices specification is a technical standard that defines how relying parties (applications or services using OpenID Connect for authentication) can communicate their metadata preferences. This update marks a significant step toward finalizing the draft, ensuring stability and intellectual property protections for implementers. The removal of the OpenID Federation 1.0 announcement suggests a prioritization of this new specification in the OpenID Connect Working Group's agenda.
