The Higgins Embedded-Selector Extension for Firefox is a Firefox extension written in Javascript. It uses a thin-client, web-based architecture relying on a hosted I-Card Manager and I-Card Service for "back end" support.
When the Higgins Embedded-Selector Extension for Firefox is installed and when your browser lands on a Relying Party (RP) site that is i-card enabled, it an i-card selector user interface pops up in a separate Firefox window. It presents you with a set of i-cards that match the RP site's policy.
