A identity standard’s adoption is driven by its value of the reliability, repeatability and security of its implementations. 2. A standard’s value can be measured by the number of instances of certified technical conformance extant in the market. 3. Certified technical conformance is necessary but insufficient for global adoption. 4. Adoption at scale requires widespread awareness, ongoing technical improvement and a open and authoritative reference source. 5. When Libraries/Directories/ Registries act as authoritative sources they amplify awareness, extend adoption and promote certification. 6. Certified technical conformance importantly complements legal compliance and together optimize interoperability. 7. Interoperability enhances security, contains costs and drives profitability. * [Security Event Tokens, Subject Identifiers, and SSE/CAEP/RISC Java implementation https://domsch.com/IIW32/IIW32-openid-sse-model.pdf • Security Event Tokens – RFC 8417\n$5 Matt Domsch, VP & Engineering Fellow • Subject Identifiers – Internet Draft RFC • Shared Signals & Events – OpenID Foundation WG](• Includes RISC, CAEP, and Oauth event profiles) > * [Introducing the Global Assured Identity Network (GAIN) Proof of Concept Community Group](https://openid.net/2022/03/02/introducing-the-global-assured-identity-network-gain-proof-of-concept-community-group/) > The OpenID Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of the Global Assured Identity Network (GAIN) Proof of Concept Community Group, which aims to test the technical hypotheses underlying the [“GAIN Digital Trust”](https://gainforum.org/GAINWhitePaper.pdf) white paper. * [2021 OpenID Foundation Board Update](https://openid.net/2021/02/09/2021-openid-foundation-board-update/) > Nat Sakimura and John Bradley were re-elected to new two-year terms as community member representatives.

These represented two distinct applications of the same underlying mechanism of managing asynchronous streams of events. Therefore the [SSE Framework](https://openid.net/specs/openid-sse-framework-1_0-01.html) is now proposed to be a standard for managing such streams of events for any application, not just CAEP and RISC. In effect, it is a standard for generalized Webhooks. * [Proof-of-possession (pop) AMR method added to OpenID Enhanced Authentication Profile spec](https://self-issued.info/?p=2198) Mike Jones > I’ve defined an Authentication Method Reference (AMR) value called “pop” to indicate that Proof-of-possession of a key was performed.
