Abstract
Jans is an open-source Blockchain & Cloud Computing project. The Janssen Project is a home for open source IAM components, featuring Auth Server (OAuth/OpenID), Agama low-code identity orchestration, and the Cedarling policy decision point. The "Janssen Server" distributions bundle IAM components under one control plane. Janssen is a self-funded project chartered directly under the Linux Foundation to foster the development of enterprise digital identity and access management infrastructure. As the lead Contributors, the Gluu team drives the priorities on a day-to-day basis, governed and guided by the Janssen community Technical Steering Committee. It is built using Java, Kubernetes. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the Apache License 2.0, making it a useful reference for students building a Blockchain & Cloud Computing mini project or final-year project.
1. Introduction
Janssen is a self-funded project chartered directly under the Linux Foundation to foster the development of enterprise digital identity and access management infrastructure. As the lead Contributors, the Gluu team drives the priorities on a day-to-day basis, governed and guided by the Janssen community Technical Steering Committee.
There are several Janssen Components in different stages of development, from demos to stable releases. Janssen Project software has batteries included. You will find binaries, cloud-native deployment assets, documentation and more-- enabling you to build a product or mission-critical cybersecurity service with Janssen software.
The table below lists components of the Janssen Project and their maturity stages.
2. Objective
The Janssen Project is a home for open source IAM components, featuring Auth Server (OAuth/OpenID), Agama low-code identity orchestration, and the Cedarling policy decision point. The "Janssen Server" distributions bundle IAM components under one control plane.
This project demonstrates how Java, Kubernetes can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.
4. Technology Stack
5. System Requirements
General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.
- JDK 11 or later
- Maven / Gradle

Full setup instructions are in the project README.
7. Future Enhancements
Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.
- Add a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Deploy to a public test network or cloud free tier
- Add monitoring and cost alerts
8. Viva / Review Questions
Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.
- Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
- Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
- How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
- How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
- How would the solution scale to many more users?
