Higgins supports multiple kinds of i-cards with differing characteristics. It does so by using multiple kinds of i-card providers, each of which implements one specific class of i-card. Although all i-cards implement the base "ICard" interface, some may implement one or more of the optional interfaces, and thus provide more or different characteristics. The Higgins project is developing these I-Card Providers:
- CardSpace Managed I-Card Provider
- CardSpace Personal I-Card Provider
- URI Managed I-Card Provider
- URI Personal I-Card Provider
Details
- Status: since M0.7
- Language: Java
- Packaging: OSGI bundle
To Do List
- TODO:link
Service/API
An I-Card Provider is responsible for:
- Instantiating I-Cards that implement the I-Card Interfaces
- Managing the persistence of i-cards (e.g. to/from working storage)
- Importing I-Cards from one of the supported card data formats. Note: export of a single I-Card is handled by the I-Card itself.
