What is Duende IdentityServer?

Security infrastructure sits at the heart of modern software, yet most solutions force organizations into an uncomfortable tradeoff: accept vendor lock-in or compromise on security to gain flexibility.

Duende IdentityServer resolves that tension. Our platform delivers robust, standards-aligned identity infrastructure built ground-up for .NET by recognized experts and contributors to foundational security protocols — among them OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, Backend for Frontend (BFF), and FAPI.

Developers get extensive customization by design — complete ownership of the UI, business logic, and deployment environment — paired with the licensing transparency and predictable cost structure that compliance-driven industries like finance and healthcare require. When you need to integrate reliable, modular identity into your stack without sacrificing control or technical depth, Duende is the trusted foundation. We bring the expertise to identity infrastructure, freeing you to invest yours where it matters most.
