The Initiative for Open AuTHentication (OATH) is the industry's leading collaboration of device, platform and application companies, and end user customers of authentication technologies. OATH participants hope to foster use of strong authentication across networks, devices and applications. Participants work collectively to facilitate standards and build a reference architecture for open authentication while evangelising the benefits of strong interoperable authentication in a networked world.
