Higgins uses the [http://www.identitygang.org/DigitalIdentity Identity Gang definition of Digital Identity] summarized here:
+
* The digital representation of a set of [[Claim]]s made by one Party about itself or another person, group, thing or concept
  
:''The digital representation of a set of [[Claim]]s made by one [http://www.identitygang.org/Party Party] about itself or another [[Digital Subject]].''
 
  
==In Higgins==
+
 
A [[Digital Identity]] is the "runtime" representation of identity information about a [[Digital Subject]]. A [[Digital Identity]] is in Higgins analogous to a security token used in an identity exchage. It is often digitally signed by an issuer. The issuer may be the "source" of the claims being made in the [[Digital Identity]], but the source may be another [[Digital Subject]].
