# Introduction

## sgID

sgID is an experimental authentication and data sharing service by the Singapore government with privacy-preserving features. For more information on the sgID protocol, refer to our [white paper](https://docs.id.gov.sg/1/white-paper).

## Familiar authentication flows

sgID is fully integrated into the Singpass app. To login with sgID, simply use your Singpass app to scan the sgID QR code. Check out our demo app [here](https://demo.id.gov.sg/).

sgID implements the OpenID Connect 1.0 protocol, so integrating with us will be as simple as integrating with other OpenID Providers like Google or Facebook. Integration is also made easier with our [Typescript/Javascript SDK](https://github.com/opengovsg/sgid-client).
