ZXID aims at full stack implementation of all federated identity management and identity web services protocols. Initial goal is supporting SP role, followed by IdP and ID-WSF WSC roles.
ZXID is light weight, has small foot print, and is implemented in C.

ZXID is suitable for both high perrformance and embedded applications. Scripting languages are supported using SWIG, including Perl and PHP. The "full stack" nature of ZXID means its self contained and has minimal external library dependencies, the main one being OpenSSL.

Targeted Federated Identity Standards:

SAML 2.0
SAML 1.1
Liberty ID-FF 1.2
WS-Federation 1.0 Basic Profile

Targeted ID Web Services Standards:

Liberty ID-WSF 1.1
Liberty ID-WSF 2.0

Requirements:
OpenSSL
PlainDoc (recommended)
Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (recommended)

What's New in This Release:
Digital signature validation on assertions was implemented.
This means that ZXID is now ready for security-conscious use.
Improvements were made in PHP and mod_php support.
Fixes were made in mod_perl support.
