# DirectTrust

The nonprofit alliance behind the trust framework for secure health information exchange in the United States, also an accreditor and the home of the SAFE identity trust framework. It appears in the KERI community's record through its chief executive's KERIConf 2026 panels and the VITAL organizational-identity initiative, and as a partner of the SEDI Summits.
