Summary: MOSIP and WSO2 collaborated on modernization work for eSignet.


WSO2 develops open-source and enterprise middleware, identity, and API platforms used in government and enterprise digital-service ecosystems.

Open-source-oriented middleware and identity platform vendor with strong relevance to federated authentication and government digital-service stacks.

WSO2 is a long-running software infrastructure company known for identity, API management, and integration platforms used by governments and enterprises. In the identity context, its relevance comes from authentication, federation, access management, and the middleware required to connect digital services across systems.

That makes WSO2 important to this repository because many public-sector identity deployments depend not only on enrollment and credentials but also on the surrounding identity fabric. WSO2 represents the integration and federation layer that often underpins real-world digital public services.
