About MOSIP Decode: MOSIP Decode is a virtual hackathon designed to encourage contributions to MOSIP’s open-source platform from the student community! As a globally recognised Digital Public Good, MOSIP helps governments conceive, develop, implement, and own foundational digital ID systems in their countries. Countries adopt MOSIP with the help of local experts to customise the platform to suit their requirements, but these needs are diverse and have endless potential for solutions. This is where MOSIP Decode comes in. This hackathon offers students the opportunity to learn from industry experts and propose solutions for national digital infrastructure that has been adopted by 31 countries to date across Asia Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Develop code that aligns with MOSIP’s guiding principles of modularity, scalability, security, and privacy, and stand a chance to: Win from a prize pool of USD 5,000. Secure an internship with MOSIP to refine and integrate your solution into a globally implemented platform. Have the top solutions showcased at MOSIP Connect 2027, an international event with representatives from over 31 countries. Contribute to our mission of Empowering Lives, One Unique ID at a Time.
Problem Statements: Automated Conformance Testing for Injicertify and InjiVerify against OpenID Suite
Complexity Level: Medium Build an automated harness that spins up Inji Certify and Inji Verify, programmatically drives the OpenID Foundation conformance suite's REST API to run the issuer and verifier test plans against each component, and feeds the results into each module's existing api-testrig — as one suite per module, with an optional combined run — producing consolidated, benchmark-gated reports with CI/CD integration.
