Tuesday

9:00-noon Review of the Context Data Model [Paul]

  • Working session going through the PPT and reviewing and updating it
    • We have the ability to have attributes about a single entity-attribute-value
    • We need to represent attributes about the set of all values of an attribute
    • need to add Agent and Person, Org, Group to PPT
    • add device examples to PPT

noon-12:15 Higgins Data Model [Hank]

  • Today we have Person, Organization and Group as subclasses of Agent (as subclass of Entity)
  • Proposal: we add "Device" as a new subclass of Agent

noon-1pm Lunch

1pm OpenID Support in Higgins [Paul, John, others]

  • Review our goals
    1. We want to help a user be able to sign in to an OpenID relying site from any browser
    2. We want to implement the OpenID support in the Higgins Browser Extension
  • User Experience options
    1. type in OpenID URI
    2. click on a Yahoo icon

1:10pm DigitalMe [Jim/Andy]

  • Demo
  • Architectural overview
    • Lowest level FTK Flexible Toolkit --interfaces with the platforms, provides abstraction to OpenSSL, sockets, memory
    • Local STS
    • Identity Selector Services --general cardspace functionality

Other notes:

  • BTW: we also have a command line variant: you can request token by command line
  • ISS: can also provide remote STS services--can set up a listener to talk to an external STS --not very robust; more for debug
  • ISS: it can also provide rp services --not very robust; more for debug
  • right now the Selector UI and the Identity Selector Services that are tightly coupled (shared libs)--could be decoupled later.
  • all of the FTK and the ISS code is in the Higgins repository
  • there are minor branding-related UI changes between Novell and Higgins versions. Would like to get to the point where we could drop in a personality module so that all of the Cocoa/GTK code could be in Higgins.
  • Build environment is based on Gmake (same as KDE project)
  • We've done a Windows version of DigitalMe
  • At one time there was build for Solaris
  • We can create RPM and Debian packages. Or just do a configure, build.
  • The output of the Mac build is a .dmg build, drag & drop to desktop; drag to trash
  • There is a firefox add-on that launches DigitalMe. The code code that parses the object from the selector launcher code
  • We've done minimal on a Safari selector plugin. This is not mature.
  • The FF extension works pretty well (unless Mozilla breaks things).
  • The ideal solution would to build this into Firefox
  • There are loadable "cardstore provider" as a shared library. Fairly simple interface. Enum, add, delete a card, etc. To write a provider to store the cards in the Amazon S3, etc. would be easy.

2:00 UN/PW Cards [Brian]

  • Adding support for login to existing sites using un/pw form filling

2:30 Higgins AIR Selector Architecture [Jeesmon]

  • Review current architecture
  • Review proposed changes
    • LICS: Local I-Card Service

3:00 ALF SSO Code [Brian Carroll]

  • The ALF SSO code complements the Higgins STS.

3:45 OpenID Card Type

  • we define the card authentication method for OpenID
  • need to define:
    • canonical OpenID claim URI
    • display OpenID claim URI

4:00 R-Card Design Review [Paul, Markus, Drummond]

  • Review R-card XML data format. See R-Card
  • Review UDI spex [Markus]
