Overview

An I-Card Provider is responsible for instantiating and managing I-Card instances that implement I-Card Interfaces
A Provider is also responsible for importing I-Cards from one of the supported card data formats. Note: export is handled by the I-Card instance itself.

The Higgins project is developing these I-Card Providers:

 The Higgins project is developing these I-Card Providers:
-# Cardspace-interoperable Managed provider
+# [[Cardspace Managed I-Card Provider]]
-# CardSpace-interoperable Personal provider
+# [[CardSpace Personal I-Card Provider]]
-# URI Managed Provider
+# [[URI Managed I-Card Provider]]
-# URI Personal Provider
+# [[URI Personal I-Card Provider]]
-===CardSpace-interoperable Managed I-Card Provider (CMIP) ===
-* I-Card instances instantiated and managed by this provider implement the ICard and ITokenCard interfaces (see [[I-Card Interfaces]])
-* Retreives signed security tokens from CardSpace-compatible IdP/STSes and acceptable by CardSpace-compatible RPs
-* Imports CardSpace-format managed card files
-===CardSpace-interoperable Personal I-Card Provider (CPIP) ===
-* I-Card instances instantiated and managed by this provider implement the base ICard and ITokenCard interfaces (see [[I-Card Interfaces]])
-* Creates (using the local Higgins [[Token Service]]) a signed security tokens from attributes stored in IdAS. Assuming self-signecd tokens are allowed, this provider creates tokens are acceptable by CardSpace-compatible RPs
-* Imports CardSpace-format personal card files and transfers the stored values of claims to IdAS for later retrieval
-===URI Managed I-Card Provider===
-* I-Card instances instantiated and managed by this provider implement the ICard, ITokenCard, and IURICard interfaces (see I-Card Interfaces)
-* This provider manages cards whose associated IdAS context is managed by some external entity. The provider impl uses IdAS to access attribute values.
-* Card Examples:
-* LDAP directory card: provides a view of the user's identity data stored on an enterprise HR directory
-===URI Personal I-Card Provider===
-* I-Card instances instantiated and managed by this provider implement the ICard, ITokenCard, and IURICard interfaces (see I-Card Interfaces)
-* This provider manages cards whose associated IdAS context was created by the user and over which the user is authoritative.
-* Card Examples:
-* Persona/Role {e.g. Shopping, Buying, Travel, Home&Personal, Health, Friends, Family} cards --for the multiple hats the user wears
-* Website - stores a copy of the personal information about a user that the user has entered into a website (e.g. linkedin.com, flikr, etc.)
-* Username & Password - each card stores one of the user's unique un/pw combinations (pullled from browser's password manager)
