Building an OIDC Identity Provider that uses Verifiable Credentials

The BC Gov VON team has initiated an open source project (via an open
source "Code With Us" bounty) to implement a OpenIDConnect Identity
Provider that works using Verifiable Credentials. Mattr Global (a spinoff
of NZ telecom Spark) is driving the work with BC Gov. The initial repo for
the effort has been created and a first draft of a document that outlines
many of the details of how it is going to work is in the repo. The effort
uses Hyperledger Aries agents as the underlying messaging and VC exchange
mechanism.

Check it out here - https://github.com/bcgov/vc-authn-oidc.

Please feel free to help with this effort - add issues, ask questions and
add pull requests. We're hoping to have something that can be easily used
with any IAM in any deployment. Starting with our own, of course 🙂.
