Digital Certificates to Scale Cross-Organizational use of FHIR

Description
This project leverages trusted digital certificates to help scale the use of FHIR through reusable individual-, organizational-, or app-level credentials that can be leveraged to rapidly scale secure FHIR-based exchange. UDAP Profiles also include extensions to OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

Join the UDAP Google Group here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/udap-discuss

or contact collaborate@udap.org for more information or if you would like to explore use of these credentials in a FHIR client application, FHIR server, or Identity Service, or to cross-test trusted endpoints as a UDAP collaborator. 

The client app registration and authentication/authorization use cases enabled through UDAP profiles are regularly tested at HL7 FHIR connectathons and in the interim between those events; see this track description for more information:

See the last 15 minutes of this ONC webinar for a presentation covering the project, and some screen shots of UDAP profiles in action:
