Design Goals

Here are the original design goals for the CardSync Web App:

1. Support a RESTful interface (not SOAP)
2. Only use protocols and technologies that are available royalty-free and are well documented
3. Be compatible with selectors that support N>1 card stores
4. Allow a selector to work completely offline
5. Support bi-directional synchronization of individual cards and individual metadata entries about these cards
6. Support strong authentication from client (selector) to CardSync Service
