The document discusses the development of the modrna working group which aims to support GSMA's mobile connect initiative by enabling mobile network operators to act as identity providers using OpenID Connect. It outlines the current status of various specifications and collaborations, including a joint workshop with OpenID Foundation and advancements in mobile connect architecture. Additionally, it highlights the support for mission-critical services and the establishment of identity management within that context.
MODRNA WG Update - April 2021
- 1. MODRNA WG The interface of MODRNA (Mobile Profile of OpenID Connect) and GSMA Mobile Connect April 29, 2021 Bjorn Hjelm Verizon John Bradley Yubico http://openid.net/wg/mobile/
- 2. Purpose ● Support GSMA technical development of Mobile Connect ● Enable Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to become Identity Providers ● Developing (1) a profile of and (2) an extension to OpenID Connect for use by MNOs providing identity services.
- 4. What is Mobile Connect ● Mobile phone numbers as user identifier. ● Mobile phone number as authenticator. ● MNO (Mobile Network Operator) as authentication/identity provider. ● Replace passwords and hardware security tokens.
- 5. WG Status ● Four specifications in Implementer’sDraft status. ○ Authentication Profile, Account Porting, User Questioning API, CIBA Core. ● Approved second Implementer’s Draft of User QuestioningAPI specification. ● Starting preparation for publication of CIBACoreFinal specification. ● Advancing several specifications to Implementer’s Draft. ○ MODRNA CIBA Profile, Discovery Profile and Registration Profile. ● Receiving feedback from deployments in Europe and USA. ● Planning for OpenID Certification of several profile specifications.

- 7. 1 2 3 Evolution of Mobile Connect architecture, functionality and identity services. RCS (Rich Communications Services) services support for OpenID Connect. Configuration of device-based services with embedded SIM (ODSA, C-V2X) leveraging OpenID Connect for authentication.
- 8. ● New Identity and Data Group (IDG) created to replace the MCIG (Mobile Connect Interest Group) to develop new identity products and services. ○ The development of requirements will be done with input from group members, GSMA communities (Financial Services, Automotive etc.) and/or directly from SPs participating in the IDG. ● New requirements on protocol/standards will be brought into the SDO community by members and/or through liaison. ○ Any OpenID Connect enhancements will be developed and standardized by MODRNAWG. ● Joint OpenID Foundation–GSMA Workshop planned for early June 2021. ○ Agenda to cover various technical work by the OpenID Foundation.
- 9. 3GPP Mission Critical Services 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) Mission Critical (MC) services support PSA (Public Safety Agencies) and other critical communications. Identity management is part of MC system security architecture and OpenID Connect MCX Profile defined for user authentication. Development of SEAL (Service Enabler Architecture Layer) to support vertical applications (such as V2X) services is based on MC architecture. Identity Management is a common capability supporting mission critical and other vertical applications.
