CST Identity Service

The Cloud Service Toolkit (CST) Identity Service is a massively scalable web service that provides authentication and authorization to other services, sites, and applications. It is an Identity Provider built upon the well-established standards of OAuth 2.0 and REST with JSON and has no upper-limit on scale. With its simple and straightforward design it gives application developers an easy, verifiable, and secure way to identify a user.
