OpenID Connect Client Initiated Backchannel Authentication Flow - Core 1.0 draft-02

AM applies the guidelines suggested by the OpenID Financial-grade API (FAPI) Working Group to the implementation of CIBA, which shapes the support of CIBA in AM:

  • AM only supports the CIBA "poll" mode, not the "push" or "ping" modes.

  • AM requires use of confidential clients for CIBA.

  • AM requires use of signed JSON-web tokens (JWT) to pass parameters, using one of the following algorithms:

    • ES256 - ECDSA with SHA-256 and NIST standard P-256 elliptic curve.

    • PS256 - RSASSA-PSS using SHA-256.

    Plain JSON or form parameters for CIBA-related data is not supported.
