For end users
Higgins provides three complete identity selector applications - user-centric app for creating, selecting, sharing and managing the different i-cards that represent one's identity in different contexts and relationships. These three kinds of selectors are available to support specific combinations of OSX, Linux and Windows operating systems as well as Firefox and IE browsers.
For developers
Higgins provides complete “identity provider” web services as well as the “relying party” code necessary to enable websites and systems to be information card- and OpenID-compatible. Software developers can incorporate this ‘relying party” code into their applications to make it easier for their users to login to their site.
The Higgins Global Graph (HGG) data model and the Higgins Identity Attribute Service (IdAS) give developers a framework that provides an interoperability and portability abstraction layer over existing “silos” of identity data. For the first time, IdAS makes it possible to “mash up” identity and social network data across highly heterogeneous data sources including directories, relational databases, and social networks
