ZeeKayDa.Auth

ZeeKayDa.Auth is an open-source OpenID Connect identity provider framework for .NET. It gives you the building blocks to run a spec-compliant, production-grade authorization server inside any ASP.NET Core application — without tying you to a particular storage engine, UI, or hosting model.

Pre-alpha: the current implementation exposes discovery/configuration building blocks only. Advertised authorization, token, and JWKS endpoints return 501 Not Implemented until those protocol surfaces are implemented.

The name comes from the phonetic spelling of ZKDA — Zero Knowledge Driven Auth.
