Liberty Alliance

Liberty Alliance was a global coalition formed in the early 2000s to promote open standards for online identity management. Its goal was to enable individuals to securely control and share their digital personal information across various websites and services without relying on proprietary or closed systems. Essentially, it worked towards creating a safe, interoperable way for people to verify who they are online and access services seamlessly, while maintaining privacy and user choice. This initiative contributed to the development of open identity protocols that influence digital authentication practices today.
