## Notes
Notes by Topic

## New Support

### 1. Workload/Agentic Identity
Specification:
- [Transaction Tokens](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-transaction-tokens/)

Dmitry: working on updating PoC

- [OAuth Identity and Authorization Chaining Across Domains](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-identity-chaining/)

Marek: Working on this in the context of token-exchange.
Current limitations in external-to-internal token-exchange. Want to use the "draft-ietf-oauth-identity-chaining" as an alternative solution.
See: [Issue #43144 OAuth Identity and Authorization Chaining Across Domains](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/43144)

Uses [RFC7523 JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7523), and builds on private_key_jwt Client authentication.

Arndt: @Marek Posolda RFC7523 is receiving a bis update. Would be good to consider the security practices when implementing it.

See also [JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-rfc7523bis-03) for updates on RFC7523.
See also: [JWT Client authentication aligned with the latest OIDC specification](https://www.keycloak.org/2025/04/keycloak-2620-released#_jwt_client_authentication_aligned_with_the_latest_oidc_specification) from Keycloak 26.2.0 release blog post.

Dmitry: explains how this "OAuth Identity and Authorization Chaining Across Domains" can be used to effectively generalize the idea of defining trusts between parties, e.g. IdPs.

Francis: Can this be used as an alternative to FIPA?
Dmitry: Probably not, maybe they can work in conjunction, but the specs serve different purposes.

- [OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration with Trusted Issuer Credentials](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kasselman-oauth-dcr-trusted-issuer-token/)
- [OAuth Client Registration on First Use with SPIFFE](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kasselman-oauth-spiffe/)
- [OAuth SPIFFE Client Authentication](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-schwenkschuster-oauth-spiffe-client-auth/)

- [Identity Assertion JWT Authorization Grant](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-identity-assertion-authz-grant/)
Takashi: It is a promising spec for [enterprise-ready MCP](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/pull/646), we are interested in this spec. We have a plan to implement that based on Marek's team work (RFC 7523 and OAuth Identity and Authorization Chaining Across Domains).


- [OAuth Client ID Metadata Document](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-client-id-metadata-document/)
Arndt: This is a way to skip client registration, because the client can provides information about itself.
Vinod: Clients probably need to have a backend for this?
Arndt: There has to be some backened to provide the client metadata. 
Arndt: This spec is driven by MCP/AI use-cases, but is more generally applicable.
Arndt: Link to [Blogpost on Client Registration by Aaron Parecki on modelcontextprotocol.io](https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/client_registration/)

- [Kubernetes Service Accounts Federation PR#43967](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/pull/43967) 
Tom Billiet: Stian is already working on improving the Kubernetes support for Federated Client Authentication

### 2. Shared Signals Framework (SSF)

Thomas: Sent a first PR for adding initial SSF support to Keycloak.
This allows to manage SSF Receivers components within a realm that can be connected with a SSF Transmitter.
The SSF Transmitter can send SETs (Security Event Tokens) via HTTP Push to an endpoint exposed by the Keycloak realm. A new SsfEventListener SPI can be used to react on received SSF events from a SET.

Next steps: make appointment with Pedro from Keycloak team and discuss TODOs

Kannan: Which events are supported here? 

Thomas: The PR contains event definitions for all events defined in CAEP 1.0, RISC 1.0 and SCIM Profile for Events Draft 16. However, currently only the CAEP session revoked event (for a concrete user) is actually mapped to trigger a user session termination.

PR: [#43950 Initial Support for SSF Receiver with Push based Delivery via HTTP](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/pull/43950)

Issue: [#43614 Add initial support for OpenID Shared Signals Framework](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/43614)

Specification:
 -  [OpenID Shared Signals Framework Specification 1.0 Final](https://openid.net/specs/openid-sharedsignals-framework-1_0-final.html)

 -  [OpenID RISC Profile Specification 1.0](https://openid.net/specs/openid-risc-1_0-final.html)

PoC: [Shared Signals Framework (Receiver and Transmitter) for Keycloak](https://github.com/identitytailor/keycloak-ssf-support)

### 3. OpenID Federation 1.0 (OIDFED)

- Clarity on : https://github.com/oauth-wg/draft-ietf-oauth-attestation-based-client-auth/issues/152
- Pascal shared his comments on testing wallets: https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/42505
- For the funke event adorsys used the LISSI Wallet. We tested many wallets and the LISSI wallet was the closest.
- Stefan could have this wallet working: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/eudi-app-android-wallet-ui
- Please let us all gather the comments in the ticket: https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/42505
- Pascal suggests to add a proof parameter to make it backward compatible. Changed allready made by Ingrid and adorsys team. Adorsys team will submit a pull request.

### 5. Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Specification:
 - [Base Protocol - Authorization](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/basic/authorization)

Pull request active: [#35711](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/pull/35711)

Nov 5th 2025:
Takashi: I reviewed the following PR and the PR was merged.

Add CORS support to OIDC dynamic client registration endpoints
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/pull/43625

The PR resolved the issue that prevent MCP Inspector, MCP project’s official tool for debugging MCP Client/Servers, from working with Keycloak.

Support dynamic client registration for MCP Inspector
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/issues/43514

I confirmed that the MCP Inspector works well with the Keycloak built from the latest main branch.

### 5a. OAuth2 Resource Indicators

https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/pull/35711#issuecomment-3380054867

Takashi: [AWS Cognito supported RFC 8707 resource indicator](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/10/amazon-cognito-resource-indicators-protection-oauth-2-0-resources/).
[AWS AgentCore can utilize this support](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/identity-authentication.html#resource-indicators-cognito).
