8:30 Continental breakfast

9:00 IIW Demo (Dec4 in MountainView) (90 min) [Tom]

• Design & implementation related to the joint Higgins/Novell planned demo
• Discussion of positioning objectives for IIW in light of current IP constraints
• [MikeM]: Describe planned [Token Service] to [Identity Attribute Service] integration planned for demo

10:30 Break (15 min)

10:45 Focused IdAS topics (60 min) [Tom]

• What does a ContextURI really mean?
  • The Context "sameness" question is still not completely resolved; we need some written guidelines
• Presuming that a ContextRef URI doesn't contain all configuration data required for a Context Provider (CP) to open/create a Context, then is there a new parameter required on IContextFactory.createContext?
• Should we add one more parameter (probably of type java.util.Properties) to both canCreate and createContext methods of IContextFactory? (we may need to configure/re-configure a context post create)
• If we are creating a new Context then should we pass in a schema at the same time?
• We now have: IContext.open(java.lang.Object identity) // Opens this Context using the provided identity.
  • We had talked earlier about having IContext.getOpenPolicy() define what should be passed to IContext.open()
• Sergey Lyakhov recently proposed adding transaction support (adding begin(), commit() and rollback()) to IContext. Comments?
• Why isn't IdASRegistry a singleton?

Proposed additions to higgins.owl (15 min) [Paul]

• alias property (sub-property of higgins:attribute, domain=DS, range=SubjectRelationship)
• knows property (sub-property of higgins:attribute, domain=DS, range=SubjectRelationship)
• simpleMetadata properties on ContextObjects: lastConnectionAttempt, lastConnection
• password property (sub-property of higgins:attribute, domain=DS, range=StringSimpleAttribute)

12:00 Lunch (45 min)

12:45 "Upper" Higgins Architecture (above IdAS and TS) (1hr 15min) [Paul]

• Review latest Architecture changes
• Walk through Higgins CardSpace self-issued I-Card Provider flow to get us all oriented
  • HBX -> RP Protocol Support -> ISS Web UI --> ISS -> I-Card Registry -> CardSpace I-Card Provider -> I-Card -> Token Service -> Token Provider -> IdAS etc.
• Introduction to the I-Card concept (PPT presentation)
• Detailed discussion of the three proposed I-Card Interfaces
  • Should we use OWL to represent complex claim types, or something simpler?
• Description of the three concrete I-Card Provider implementations under development
  • CardSpace Managed I-Card Provider
  • CardSpace Self-Issued I-Card Provider
  • IdAS I-Card Provider
• Proposal to use I-Card Manager to create new I-Cards vs. including this in ISS Web UI as in Microsoft's UX

2:00 IDmix (60 min) [Abhi]

• Spelling of idemix vs. IDmix
• idemix integration
  1. idemix plugin in the STS
  2. flows of policies through Higgins (e.g., from the relying party to the HBX, ISS all the way down to STS and the idemix plugin)

3:00 Break (15 min)

3:15 RP Security Policy (30 min) [Abhi]
