Pillars

The five foundational capabilities that enterprise AI systems must implement to achieve identity-aware operation.

Vendors

Companies and projects mapped to the pillars they address, with evidence and interface participation.

Inter-Pillar Interfaces

The seams between pillars: where identity tokens cross into agentic workflows, where observability feeds policy, and more.

Interoperability Standards

Published standards and protocols cataloged for IAAI, including steward, active interfaces, and architectural role.

Interoperability Assertions

The atomic interoperability assertions that back vendor and standards claims across interfaces, with explicit source provenance.
