A new variant of the Higgins selector being developed for Higgins 1.1. We're just getting started on this page, so it is mostly just a template at present.

Introduction

This selector is a C++ client that uses the Qt GUI environment and is designed to run on Windows.

End-User Perspective

For an introduction to Information Cards and Selectors visit http://informationcard.net

Planned Functionality

• Traditional IMI selector functionality
• Selector can (optionally) be associated with Authentication Service 1.1 and thereby gain the access tokens necessary to use other selector-related web services including:
  • Attribute Service 1.1
  • CardSync Service 1.1

Compatibility

Card types/protocols:

• Supports managed and personal IMI information cards
• Supports managed OpenID information cards
• Supports managed and personal Higgins relationship cards

Browsers:

• Firefox 3.0+
• IE 6+

Operating systems (and what should be in the OS!):

• Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7
• Higgins Selector Switch
