An apparatus can include a secret mapping module running on a machine and configured to create a mapping that maps a secret to a claim stored in an information card, a receiver running on the machine and configured to receive a request for the secret from a remote application, a mapping query module running on the machine and configured to perform a search for the mapping, a credential provider application running on the machine and configured to retrieve the secret based at least in part on the claim, and a transmitter configured to transmit the secret to the remote application.

A selector daemon can run in the background of a computer. Applications that are capable of processing information cards directly, without requiring the use of a card selector, can request the selector daemon to list information cards that satisfy security policy. Upon receiving such a request, selector daemon can determine the information cards available on the computer that satisfy the security policy, and can identify these information cards to the requesting application. The applications can then use the identified information cards in any manner desired, without having to use a card selector: for example, by requesting a security token based on one of the information cards directly from an identity provider.

When a user connects a pluggable card store to a machine, the machine plugs a pluggable card provider into a card provider registry. The pluggable card store can be an object portable to the user, or can be a remote store available via some connection, such as an FTP connection. The user can then use the information cards stored on the pluggable card store in a transaction.

The user can associate metadata with information cards. The metadata can include, among other possibilities, string names, icons, user policies, containers, and hierarchies. The metadata is stored by the computer system. The metadata can then be used to filter the set of information cards that can satisfy a security policy from a relying party.

摘要:
A system and method for managing information cards using workflows is provided. A workflow manager in a card selector allows the user to initiate cardflows in the card selector. The workflow manager is extensible and programmable so that additional user-defined or industry-defined cardflows can be added to the workflow manager.
摘要:
An identity provider issues information cards in which the credential type and/or the credential data is not specified at the time of issuance. A card selector installs the information cards and either prompts a user for the credential at the time of installation or afterwards. The card selector updates the credential type, the credential data, and/or authentication materials associated with an information card after the information card has been installed, and informs the identity provider about the credential type, credential data, and authentication materials before the information card is used.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method can include selecting an information card from a group of identified information cards, selecting a persona from a group of identified personae that are associated with the selected information card, and generating a Request for Security Token (RST) based on the selected information card and the selected persona.
