Higgins Selector
- The Higgins Selector gives you a simple way to manage your digital identities.
It represents each identity as a separate, visual I-Card.
- A long term goal is that this selector offer what might be called "universal login."
This is the ability to log you in to almost any website or app (called a Relying Party (RP))
using a variety of methods including I-Card, OpenID and username/password.
- Another long term goal is to provide a convenient way to link and synchronize
your profiles and social relationships across multiple, distributed silos.
- We are working to make this selector available for a wide range of computer and mobile operating systems, and to integrate with the browers they support.

Identity Services
- Higgins has code for two kinds of services: Identity Providers (IdPs) and Relying Parties (RPs).
- IdPs: There are two IdPs code bases.
The first is an WS-Trust-based Security Token Service (STS) IdP web service that both generates/issues
information cards and implements the STS endpoint that issues security tokens of various kinds.
The second is a SAML IdP that supports the SP-initiated SSO profile and issues SAML 2.0 Assertions.
- RPs: Higgins includes Java code libraries that are used by websites to enable them to become Information Card RPs.
