Trust Anchor: Root of trust. Defines policies and signs metadata.

Resolver: Provides trust chain resolution services, enabling entities to validate metadata against the Trust Anchor.Intermediate: Manages subordinate entities and aggregates metadataBuilds and returns validated trust chains by following authority hints and subordinate statements, allowing entities to establish trust with a Trust Anchor.

Trust Mark Issuer: Issues signed Trust Marks certifying compliance with federation requirements.

Intermediate: Manages subordinate entities and aggregates metadata.

OpenID Provider: Authenticates users and issues tokens under federation policies.

...

• curl -s: fetches the JWT, -s silences progress.

• cut -d '.' -f2: extracts the payload from the JWT (middle part).

• tr '_-' '/+': translates Base64URL alphabet into standard Base64.

• base64 -d: decodes the payload.

• jq .: pretty-prints the JSON.

Nodes

The following base nodes are available in operated by the federation operator and form the core of the Swefed OIDF Sandbox. These nodes provide the trust anchor, resolution services, and supporting infrastructure.

Additional nodes such as OpenID Providers (OPs), Relying Parties (RPs), and further intermediates are contributed and managed by Sandbox participants.

Trust Anchor

• URL: https://trust-anchor.oidf.swefed.se
• Role: Root of trust. Publishes federation policies and signing keys.
• Provides federation endpoints: fetch, list, resolve.

...

• All nodes expose their Entity Configuration at /.well-known/openid-federation.
• Trust chains must always be validated against the Trust Anchor.
• JWT signatures must be verified with the published keys from trusted entities.
• Trust Marks must be validated against with the Trust Mark Issuer’s published metadatakeys, provided the issuer’s trust chain resolves to the Trust Anchor.

Entity Integration

This section explains how to connect an entity to the Swefed Sandbox Trust Infrastructure. It covers metadata exposure, configuration of trust anchors, authority hints, and trust marks.

...

• Entity ID (URL): https://trust-anchor.oidf.swefed.se

• Public Keys (JWKS):

Authority Hints

The authority_hints parameter specifies the URL of the Intermediate Entities or Trust Anchors that are Immediate Superiors of the entity. This helps other Trust Infrastructure participants understand upstream trust relationships.

Instructions

• Replace <entity-identifier> with the entity_id of your entity (typically its HTTPS URL).

• Every entity must include federation_entity as one of its types.

• Add the entity types that apply to your role in the Sandbox:

  • openid_relying_party for RPs.
  • openid_provider for OPs.
  • oauth_authorization_server for entities acting as OAuth 2.0 AS.

• Place your public keys in the "jwks" section. Only public key parameters are included. Private key material must never be published.

This registration document should be submitted to the Sandbox operator to complete onboarding of the entity.

The following Trust Marks are available for issuance:

• Sambi:

  ...

  • • ID: https://trust-mark.oidf.swefed.se/sambi

  Retrieving Trust Marks

  Trust Marks will be supplied on request.

  1. Inputs to Trust Mark Issuer operator:
     • id: The identifier for the Trust Mark.
     • sub: The entity's entity Identifier.
  2. Steps:
     • Supply the id and sub to the Trust Mark Issuer.
     • Retrieve the issued Trust Mark as a signed JWT.
  3. Include in Metadata: Add issued Trust Marks to your entity’s metadata:

  ...

  1. configuration:

  Testing Trust Marks

  1. Decode JWT: Use tools like jwt.io to inspect the Trust Mark's claims and ensure all required fields are present.
  2. Verify Signature: Validate the JWT signature against the Trust Mark Issuer's public key.
  3. Check Expiration: Ensure the exp claim (if present) has not expired.
  4. Validate References: Follow the ref URL (if provided) to confirm compliance with human-readable policy documents.
