{{FeaturePageBody
|Feature overview=Backend service that implements a "Secondary Authority", allowing sites to implement the [Identity/Verified Email Protocol|Verified Email Protocol] on their sites and users to sign into those sites by using e-mail addresses verified by Mozilla.


This service leverages our existing Firefox Sync accounts, turning them into more general Firefox Accounts.
Goals:
* Implement a "Secondary Authority" -- a service which issues Mozilla-signed identity assertions to other sites. These assertions are for email addresses we have verified as belonging to the user
* Users can verify any email address they wish, and any number of them
* Implement a "Secondary Verifier" -- a service able to verify identity assertions for other sites via a server-to-server API
* Implement all APIs necessary to build the HTML and Firefox-native clients
Related features:

* [[../Firefox-native Verified Email Client|Firefox-native Verified Email Client]]
* [[../Verified Email Service Admin Interface|Verified Email Service Admin Interface]]
