eSignet

What is eSignet

eSignet is an open-source, vendor-neutral digital identity authentication platform developed by MOSIP that provides secure and standardized access to online services.

• Standards-Based Authentication: Built on OpenID Connect (OIDC) RFCs, functioning as both an authorization and resource server for high-assurance verification.
• Flexible & Standalone: Operates independently and integrates seamlessly with any identity system or repository that supports attribute retrieval, not just MOSIP ecosystems.
• Open-Source & Transparent: Features publicly inspectable code, compliance standards, and integration paths, ensuring complete freedom from vendor lock-in or proprietary pricing.
• Universal Applicability: Acts as a modular identity layer across various digital service ecosystems, including citizen portals and financial applications.

Coming from eSignet JAVA?

eSignet 2.0.0 does not include the Signup product or wallet-based login (wallet login is planned for a future release under OpenID4VP - see Roadmap 2026). If you're looking for Signup documentation, switch to the eSignet JAVA docs using the version switcher above.
