The Local I-Card Service Package is a package of C++ components that provide an I-Card Services API. This package provides the core service necessary to support the user interface of a card selector.

Version 1.1

New package of components being developed for Higgins 1.1

Architecture

(Diagram Key)

The diagram above shows the red components separate components from LICS (.higgins.iis), but they have not yet been split out as separate project folders here: Components 1.1.

Components & Services

• Components_1.1#LICS_Daemon component
• Components 1.1#Local_I-Card_Service_.28LICS.29 package
• Components 1.1#Flexible_Toolkit component

Services:

• CardSync Service

Services/API

The LICS is a C++ component that implements the core services of an identity selector. The API supports these functions:

• Manages a local set of information cards with the ability (if online) to synchronize with the CardSync Web App. This synchronization requires the ability to authenticate to the CardSync Web App.
• Includes a local STS that is used to generate and sign tokens generated from self-asserted data on personal cards

Used By

• The Local I-Card Service is used in the GTK Selector 1.1-Win solution.
• The Local I-Card Service is used by the Selector UI component
