Description
This document is intended for developers and architects who wish to design identity systems and applications that interoperate using the Identity Metasystem Interoperability 1.1 specification. This specification defines new capabilities that are additive to the Identity Metasystem Interoperability 1.0 specification.
An Identity Selector and the associated identity system components allow users to manage their Digital Identities from different Identity Providers, and employ them in various contexts to access online services. In this specification, identities are represented to users as “Information Cards”. Information Cards can be used both at applications hosted on Web sites accessed through Web browsers and rich client applications directly employing Web services.
