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

H1.1 Architecture

(Diagram Key)

The diagram above shows the red-outlined 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

H1.2 Architecture

The following shows additions that are being designed for Higgins 1.2:

Changes from 1.1:

• LICS API Extension - exposing the IdAS API to Selector UI and other consumers
• IdAS Client Package - Local IdAS client
• IdAS Card Store - adapts cards stored in IdAS to the existing LICS Card Store interface

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
