The Secure Production Identity Framework For Everyone (SPIFFE) Project defines a framework and set of standards for identifying and securing communications between application services. At its core, SPIFFE is:

• A standard defining how services identify themselves to each other. These are called SPIFFE IDs and are implemented as Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).

• A standard for encoding SPIFFE IDs in a cryptographically-verifiable document called a SPIFFE Verifiable Identity Document or SVIDs.

• An API specification for issuing and/or retrieving SVIDs. This is the Workload API.

The SPIFFE Project has a reference implementation, the SPIRE (the SPIFFE Runtime Environment), that in addition to the above, it:

• Performs node and workload attestation.

• Implements a signing framework for securely issuing and renewing SVIDs.

• Provides an API for registering nodes and workloads, along with their designated SPIFFE IDs.

• Provides and manages the rotation of keys and certs for mutual authentication and encryption between workloads.

• Simplifies access from identified services to secret stores, databases, services meshes and cloud provider services.

• Interoperability and federation to SPIFFE compatible systems across heterogeneous environments and administrative trust boundaries.

SPIFFE is a graduated project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are an organization that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF.

Most community activity is organized into Special Interest Groups (SIGs), time-bounded working groups, and our monthly community-wide meetings. SIGs follow these guidelines, although each may operate differently depending on their needs and workflows. Each group's material can be found in the /community directory of this repository.
