I-Card Interface

The following is an incomplete/rough set of proposed methods. We need to add to the list and sort them into the following separate interfaces:

• the base interface (ICard),
• an interface for CardSpace i-cards (ICardSpaceCard)
• an interface for RSS-P i-cards (IRSSCard)
• an interface for ScreenScrape&FormFill i-cards (ISSFFCard)
• an interface for OpenID-H i-cards (IOpenIDCard)

I-Card Interface

// Return the human friendly name of the card
String getCardName()

// Return the human friendly name of the card issuer (creator)
String getIssuerName()

// Return a background image of the card
Image getCardImage()

// Return the mime type of the background image (JPEG or GIF)
String getImageMimeType()

// Return true if this card handles only simple claim types
boolean hasSimpleClaims()

// If card handles only simple claim types then 
// return a list of all possible types of claims that are supported
// throw exception otherwise
Iterable<String> getSupportedSimpleClaimTypes()

// If card handles complex claim types then
// return an OWL-DL schema describing types of complex claim aobjects that are supported
String getSupportedComplexClaimTypes()

// Given a relying party policy Policy, return true
// if this card can provide the claims required/desired by the relying party
// else return false
boolean isMatch(Policy)

String getUUID()

String getVersion()

EndpointReference getICardIssuerEndpoint()

DigitalIdentity requestDigitalIdentity(Policy, DigitalIdentity credential)

• Credential used to authenticate to the Token Issuer–-may be null if Token Issuer policy doesn’t require it

String getTimeIssued()

String getTimeExpires()

Iterable<TokenService> getTokenServices()

• endpoint references, credential hint, credential selector

getPolicy() – list of supported token types, supported claims

boolean getRequireAppliesTo()

• Is the RP identity required in the token request message?

ReleasePolicy getReleasePolicy()
