I-Card Provider
Revision as of 17:24, 5 October 2006 by Unnamed Poltroon (Talk)
Overview
Some implementation aspects, especially claim mapping, of I-Cards being matched in ISS and presented in the ISS UI components are implemented by I-Card Providers. Some I-Card Providers consume attributes from Digital Subjects in Contexts managed by IdAS, and maps them to the normalized claim "namespace" used by ISS. Other I-Card Providers are facades over remote Identity Providers. I-Card Providers are responsible for importing and exporting I-Cards to Higgins-defined formats as well as formats used by Microsoft CardSpace and other identity systems.
