Frequently asked questions
Can I verify that someone is affiliated with CSTCloud ID?
Yes. CSTCloud ID participates in CSTCloudFederation, which shares academic identity providers through eduGAIN. Users prove their affiliation by signing in with their CSTCloud ID account via SAML single sign-on — no document uploads, no passwords, no identity data stored on Studid.
