!!! Overview
To address the need for [Identity Management] or more so [Identity Relationship Management], you have to build on a solid base. You need to establish your security infrastructure on protocols and standards that have been peer-reviewed and are seeing market adoption. 

For a long time, lack of such standards has been the main impediment for large organizations wanting to adopt [REST]ful [APIs] in earnest. This is no longer the case since the advent of the Neo-security Stack:

* [Authentication] - [OpenID Connect] - [FIDO]
* [Provisioning] - [SCIM]
* [Identity|Digital Identity] - [JSON Identity Suite]
* [Federation] - [OpenID Connect] / [SAML]
* [Delegated Access|Delegation] - [OAuth 2.0] - [User-Managed Access]
* [Authorization] - [XACML]

This protocol suite gives us all the capabilities we need to build a secure [API] platform using the [OAuth 2.0] and [OpenID Connect] for the base. If you already have a handle on these, learn more about how the other protocols of the [{$pagename}] fit together.
