Higgins 1.1 web services (planned)
- Personal Data Store
- The Personal Data Store 1.1 stores self asserted identity data and makes it available for data sharing with others. It also provides data gateway services to connect the client selector with a variety of back end data stores.
- IdAS Proxy Service
- Allows selectors using the C++ IdAS client library to access the Personal Data Store service.
- Authorization Manager
- Gives the user control over the flows of data from a managed relationship card provider to a relying party. We plan to use/adapt Kantara UMA protocols.
- Cloud Selector
- The Cloud Selector 1.1 makes your cards available as OpenIDs. Reads card data from an I-Card Service, so no client software is required.
- CardSync Service
- The CardSync Service makes sure that all of your cards are available across all of your computers and mobile devices.
- Authentication Service
- For 1.1 we are working to make the CardSync Service and the Attribute Service rely on an external Authentication Service 1.1. Eventually the I-Card Service will also rely on it.
- I-Card Service
- Some selectors are designed as "thin clients" that only implement the user interface portion and rely on a hosted I-Card Service for core functionality.
Higgins 1.0 services
- I-Card Manager
- Thin client selectors use the I-Card Manager Google GWT-based app to provide a web interface to view, update and manage your cards hosted on the I-Card Service.
- I-Card Service
- Some selectors are designed as "thin clients" that only implement the user interface portion and rely on a hosted I-Card Service for core functionality.
Misc. Building Blocks
This section describes the data related services, java frameworks and data models that are used by the personal data agent services.
Data Models
- Data Models 1.1 used in Higgins code and services
IdAS Solution
The IdAS solution provides a testbed for exercising the IdAS Java framework.
- Higgins 1.1: See Higgins_1.1_Plan#IdAS_Solution_1.1
- Higgins 1.0: IdAS Solution 1.0: a basic configuration of the Identity Attribute Service 1.0 (IdAS). IdAS is a java framework that provides a common interface to identity, profile, and relationship data from external data sources (e.g. websites, databases, directories).
XDI4J
XDI4J is a java library for working with XDI.
- Higgins 1.1: XDI4j 1.1
