the OAuth 2.0 protocol that allows clients
to verify end-user identity and obtain
basic profile information about that user
in an interoperable manner.

suite of out-of-the-box, omnichannel
consumer experiences (such as
registration, login, preference and
consent management) that address
mission-critical requirements around
privacy, access control, security and
compliance. These experiences are
optimised for web and native mobile
“Identity Central allows our clients to focus
