Information Cards are personal digital identities that people can use online, and the key component of Identity metasystems. Visually, each Information Card has a card-shaped picture and a card name associated with it that enable people to organize their digital identities and to easily select one they want to use for any given interaction. The Information Card metaphor is implemented by Identity Selectors like Windows CardSpace, DigitalMe or Higgins Identity Selector. The Identity Metasystem is an interoperable architecture for digital identity that enables people to have and employ a collection of digital identities based on multiple underlying technologies, implementations, and providers. Using this approach, customers can continue to use their existing identity infrastructure investments, choose the identity technology that works best for them, and more easily migrate from old technologies to new technologies without sacrificing interoperability with others. The Identity Metasystem is based upon the principles in (The Laws of Identity ). == Overview == There are three participants in digital identity interactions using Information Cards: * Identity Providers issue digital identities for you. For example, businesses might issue identities to their customers, governments might vouch for the identities of their citizens, credit card issuers might provide identities enabling payment, online services could provide verified data such as age, and individuals might use self-issued identities to log onto web sites. * Relying Parties accept identities for you. Online services that you use can accept digital identities that you choose and use the information provided by them on your behalf, with your consent. * Subject is yourself, the party in control of all these interactions. The subject can choose which of its applicable digital identities to use with the relying party. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Information Card」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
