Description : Matrix reference identity server
Sydent is a reference implementation of the Matrix Identity Server API
in Python, supporting:
.
- Validation of 3PIDs (email and MSISDNs) for signup and discovery
- Binding of 3PIDs to MXIDs (for discovery)
- Lookup of 3PIDs to MXIDs
- Storing unresolved 3PID invites.
- Replication of assertions across a closed federation.
.
Instances currently run at matrix.org and vector.im; meanwhile others
are free to run their own but they will not be able to participate in
the global directory lookup table.
.
N.B. use of the Identity Server API is stricly optional in Matrix - it's
only used to resolve 3PIDs to MXIDs.
.
Matrix is an open standard for interoperable, decentralised, real-time
communication over IP. It can be used to power Instant Messaging, VoIP/WebRTC
signalling, Internet of Things communication or anywhere where's a need for
a standard HTTP API for publishing and subscribing to data whilst tracking the
conversation history.
.
In Matrix, every user runs one or more Matrix clients, which connect through
to a Matrix homeserver. The homeserver stores all their personal chat history
and user account information, much as a mail client connects through to an
IMAP/SMTP server.
.
This package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Matrix
Packaging Team.
