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
🙂.
