Become an I-Broker
What Is an I-Broker?
From Wikipedia:
"I-brokers are 'bankers for data' or 'ISPs for identity services'--trusted third parties that help people and organizations share private data the same way banks help us exchange funds and ISPs help us exchange email and files."
I-brokers are the core providers of XRI digital identity infrastructure. They not only provide i-name and i-number registration services, but also they provide i-services: a new layer of digital identity services that help people and business safely interact on the Internet. See the I-Service Directory for the first open-standard i-services that can be offered by any XDI.org-accredited i-broker.
How Does an I-Broker Become XDI.org-Accredited?
Cordance and NeuStar, together with XDI.org, have published a short guide to the process, "Becoming an I-Broker," which includes all the information necessary to get started. It also includes contact information for the i-broker support teams at both companies.
