Plan
The current version of HBX has some preliminary CardSpace, RSS-P and HTML (form-fill/screen-scrape) support. We will soon integrate a Token Service to create self-signed tokens (Digital Identities).
Identity Selector GUI: HBX does not yet have an "Identity Selector" user interface, but that is also in the works. Although the policy is controlled by the user, the default policy that we're considering is that the Identity Selector UI appears only if identifying information about the user is required by the Relying Party. If the information required is non-identifying then the user can define one or more identity information templates containing this non-identifying information, and release the required subset of it to the Relying Party without bothering the user by displaying the Identity Selector.
