Ten years ago today the drafts that would be approved as the final OpenID Connect specifications were published, as announced in my post Fourth and possibly last Release Candidates for final OpenID Connect specifications and Notice of 24 hour review period<https://self-issued.info/?p=1154>. The adoption of OpenID Connect has exceeded our wildest expectations. The vast majority of federated signins to sites and applications today use OpenID Connect. Android, AOL, Apple, AT&T, Auth0, Deutsche Telekom, ForgeRock, Google, GrabTaxi, GSMA Mobile Connect, IBM, KDDI, Microsoft, NEC, NRI, NTT, Okta, Oracle, Orange, Ping Identity, Red Hat, Salesforce, Softbank, Symantec, T-Mobile, Telefónica, Verizon, Yahoo, and Yahoo! Japan, all use OpenID Connect, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. While OpenID Connect is "plumbing" and not a consumer brand, it's filling a need and doing it well. It's fitting that the second set of errata corrections to the OpenID Connect specifications were just approved, as described in the post Second Errata Set for OpenID Connect Specifications Approved<https://openid.net/second-errata-set-for-openid-connect-specifications-approved/>. While we are proud of the quality of the final specifications, with 9 3/4 years of thousands of developers using and deploying the specifications, it's unsurprising that issues would be found that need clarification and correction. The updated OpenID Connect specifications have just been submitted to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for Publicly Available Submission (PAS) status. Approved PAS submissions are published as ISO specifications. This will foster adoption in jurisdictions that require using standards that are published by organizations with international treaty status. Celebrations of the tenth anniversary of the approval of OpenID Connect<https://self-issued.info/?p=1191> will occur worldwide in 2014. The first will be in Asia at the OpenID Summit Tokyo<https://www.openid.or.jp/summit/2024/en/> in January. The second will be in the Americas at Identiverse<https://identiverse.com/> in May. The third will be in Europe at the European Identity and Cloud Conference<https://www.kuppingercole.com/events/eic2024> in June. Join us at these events for the celebrations! I can't wait to see what the next decade brings for OpenID Connect<https://openid.net/connect/>! -- Mike P.S.
