SPIFFE - Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone is one of 5 APIs that [Zero Trust Architecture](https://apis.io/providers/zero-trust-architecture/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include CNCF, Identity, Open-Source, Standards, and Workload Identity. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

SPIFFE is a CNCF-graduated open standard for workload identity in dynamic environments. It provides a framework for workloads to authenticate to each other using short-lived cryptographic SVIDs (SPIFFE Verifiable Identity Documents) without static secrets, forming a foundational element of API-centric Zero Trust implementations.
